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.

In this article, we prove various properties and some Liouville type theorems for quasi-strongly p-harmonic maps. We also describe conditions that quasi-strongly p-harmonic maps become p-harmonic maps. We prove that if $\phi$ : $M\;\longrightarrow\;N$ is a quasi-strongly p-harmonic map (\rho\; $\geq\;2$) from a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold M of nonnegative Ricci curvature into a Riemannian manifold N of non-positive sectional curvature such that the $(2\rho－2)$-energy, $E_{2p-2}(\phi)$ is finite, then $\phi$ is constant.

In this paper, we extend the definition of p-harmonic maps between two Riemannian manifolds. We prove a Liouville type theorem for generalized p-harmonic maps. We present some new properties for the generalized stress p-energy tensor. We also prove that every generalized p-harmonic map from a complete Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold admitting a homothetic vector field satisfying some condition is constant.

In this paper, we study harmonic maps and biharmonic maps on the principal G-bundle in Kobayashi and Nomizu and also the warped product $P=M{\times}_fF$ for a $C^{\infty}$(M) function f on M studied by Bishop and O'Neill, and Ejiri.

aSuppose that (M, g) is a complete Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature bounded below by -K < 0 and (N, $\bar{b}$) is a complete Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by a constant $\mu$ > 0. Let u : $M{\times}[0,\;{\infty}]{\rightarrow}B_{\tau}(p)$ is a heat equation for harmonic map. We estimate the energy density of u.

The author studies the local $H\ddot{o}lder$ convergence of the solution to an evolution equation of p-Ginzburg-Landau type, to the heat flow of the p-harmonic map, when the parameter tends to zero. The convergence is derived by establishing a uniform gradient estimation for the solution of the regularized equation.

In this paper, we extend the definition of the Jacobi operator of smooth maps, and biharmonic maps via the variation of bienergy between two Riemannian manifolds. We construct an example of (p, f)-biharmonic non (p, f)-harmonic map. We also prove some Liouville type theorems for (p, f)-biharmonic maps.

Purpose: To acquire high-resolution spiral-scan images at higher magnetic field, high homogeneous magnetic field is needed. Field inhomogeneity mapping and in-vivo shimming are important for rapid imaging such as spiral-scan imaging. The rapid scanning sequences are very susceptible to inhomogeneity. In this paper, we proposed a higher-order shimming method to obtain homogeneous magnetic field. Materials and Methods: To reduce measurement time for field inhomogeneity mapping, simultaneous axial/ sagittal, and coronal acquisitions are done using multi-slice based Fast Spin echo sequence. Acquired field inhomogeneity map is analyzed using the spherical harmonic functions, and shim currents are obtained by the multiplication of the pseudo-inverse of the field pattern with the inhomogeneity map. Results: Since the field inhomogeneity is increasing in proportion to the magnetic field, higher order shimming to reduce the inhomogeneity becomes more important in high field imaging. The shimming technique in which axial, sagittal, and coronal section inhomogeneity maps are obtained in one scan is developed, and the shimming method based on the analysis of spherical harmonics of the imhomogenity map is applied. The proposed technique is applicable to a localized shimming as well. High resolution spiral-scan imaging was successfully obtained with the proposed higher order shimming. Conclusion: Proposed pulse sequence for rapid measurement of inhomogeneity map and higher order shimming based on the inhomogeneity map work very well at 3 Tesla MRI system. With the proposed higher order shimming and localized higher order shimming techniques, high resolution spiral-scan images are successfully obtained at 3 T MRI system.
