Some remarks on equivariant harmonic and non-holomorphic maps in Riemannian manifolds. (English) Zbl 0958.53048

Apanasov, Boris N. (ed.) et al., Geometry, topology and physics. Proceedings of the first Brazil-USA workshop, Campinas, Brazil, June 30-July 7, 1996. Berlin: de Gruyter. 201-211 (1997).
Author’s abstract: We show that the method described in [the author, J. Geom. Phys. 7, 339-361 (1990; Zbl 0742.58012)] for obtaining new examples of tori in Riemannian manifolds cannot be adapted to produce harmonic and non-holomorphic 2-spheres in flag manifolds. The method in question uses separation of variables and is based on K. Uhlenbeck’s method as described in [Lect. Notes Math. 949, 146-158 (1982; Zbl 0505.58015)].
For the entire collection see [Zbl 0883.00022].
