Existence and stability of weak critical points of -energy functionals
Stefano Montaldo, Andrea Ratto, Antonio Sanna
The main aim of this paper is to prove the existence of certain proper weakly -harmonic (-harmonic) maps. We construct critical points which belong to a family of rotation…
Conformal-biharmonic hypersurfaces in spheres and product spaces
V. Branding, S. Montaldo, S. Nistor +2
The conformal-bienergy functional is a modified version of the classical bienergy functional and it is conformally invariant in the case of a four-dimensional domain.…
Polyharmonic curves in semi-Riemannian manifolds
Stefano Montaldo, Andrea Ratto, Antonio Sanna
Let be a semi-Riemannian manifold of dimension with a non-degenerate metric of \textit{index} , , . The main aim of this paper is to…
Polyharmonic helices
Stefano Montaldo, Andrea Ratto
The main aim of this paper is to investigate the existence of Frenet helices which are polyharmonic of order , shortly, -harmonic. We shall obtain existence, non-existence an…
Triharmonic curves in the 3-dimensional Sol space
Stefano Montaldo, Andrea Ratto
The main aim of this paper is to study triharmonic curves in the 3-dimensional homogeneous space Sol. In the first part of the paper we shall obtain a complete classification of pr…
