  • One of the basic questions concerning harmonic map is on the existence of harmonic maps satisfying a certain condition. Rigidity of a certain harmonic map can be considered as an answer for this kinds of questions. In this article, we study a rigidity property of harmonic diffeomorphisms under the condition that the inverse map is also harmonic. We show that every such a harmonic diffeomorphism is totally geodesic or conformal in two dimensional case.

  • A Gauss map of m-dimensional distribution on a Riemannian manifold M is called a harmonic Gauss map if it is a harmonic map from the manifold into its Grassmann bundle $G_m$(TM) of m-dimensional tangent subspace. We calculate the tension field of the Gauss map of m-dimensional distribution and especially show that the Hopf fibrations on $S^{4n+3}$ are the harmonic Gauss map of 3-dimensional distribution.

  • A complete open manifold with nonnegative curvature is diffeomorphic to the normal bundle of the soul, and the projection map is a Riemannian submersion. Under certain circumstances, we prove that a harmonic map from a compact manifold followed by the projection is again harmonic. Therefore we obtain a harmonic map onto the soul when there is a harmonic map into an open manifold.

  • Let (H, g) denote the upper half plane in $R^2$ with the Riemannian metric g := ($(dx)^2$ + $(dy)^2$)$/y^2$. First of all we get a necessary and sufficient condition for a diffeomorphism $\phi$ of (H, g) to be a harmonic map. And, we obtain the fact that if a diffeomorphism $\phi$ of (H, g) is a harmonic function, then the following facts are equivalent: (1) $\phi$ is a harmonic map; (2) $\phi$ is an affine transformation; (3) $\phi$ is an isometry (motion).

  • We establish a monotonicity formula of V-harmonic maps by using the stress-energy tensor. Use the monotonicity formula, we can derive a Liouville type theorem for V-harmonic maps. As applications, we also obtain monotonicity and constancy of Weyl harmonic maps from conformal manifolds to Riemannian manifolds and ${\pm}holomorphic$ maps between almost Hermitian manifolds. Finally, a constant boundary-value problem of V-harmonic maps is considered.

  • In this paper, we consider some homogeneous maps from a cone over 2-spheres and determines whether they become energy minimizing maps or not. In fact, any homogeneous map from a standard cone over 2-sphere of radius smaller than 1 can not be a minimizing harmonic map.

  • Let (B, $\check{g}$) and (N, $\hat{g}$) be Einstein manifolds. Then, we get a complete (necessary and sufficient) condition for the warped product manifold $B\;{\times}_f\;N\;:=\;(B\;{\times}\;N,\;\check{g}\;+\;f{\hat{g}}$) to be Einstein, and obtain a complete condition for the Einstein warped product manifold $B\;{\times}_f\;N$ to be weakly stable. Moreover, we get a complete condition for the map i : ($B,\;\check{g})\;{\times}\;(N,\;\hat{g})\;{\rightarrow}\;B\;{\times}_f\;N$, which is the identity map as a map, to be harmonic. Under the assumption that i is harmonic, we obtain a complete condition for $B\;{\times}_f\;N$ to be Einstein.

  • Let M be a complete Riemannian manifold and let N be a Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature. Assume that $Ric^M{\geq}-\frac{4(p-1)}{p^2}{\mu}_0$ at all $x{\in}M$ and Vol(M) is infinite, where ${\mu}_0$ > 0 is the infimum of the spectrum of the Laplacian acting on $L^2$-functions on M. Then any p-harmonic map ${\phi}:M{\rightarrow}N$ of finite p-energy is constant Also, we study Liouville type theorem for p-harmonic morphism.
