Explicit solutions to the semi-discrete modified KdV equation and motion of discrete plane curves

Abstract: We construct explicit solutions to continuous motion of discrete plane curves described by a semi-discrete potential modified KdV equation. Explicit formulas in terms the $\tau$ function are presented. Backlund transformations of the discrete curves are also discussed. We finally consider the continuous limit of discrete motion of discrete plane curves described by the discrete potential modified KdV equation to motion of smooth plane curves characterized by the potential modified KdV equation.

Magnetic curves in Sasakian manifolds

Abstract: In this paper we classify the magnetic trajectories corresponding to contact magnetic fields in Sasakian manifolds of arbitrary dimension. Moreover, when the ambient is a Sasakian space form, we prove that the codimension of the curve may be reduced to 2. This means that the magnetic curve lies on a 3-dimensional Sasakian space form, embedded as a totally geodesic submanifold of the Sasakian space form of dimension (2n+1).

Bi-harmonic maps and bi-Yang-Mills fields

Abstract: In this paper, we show the first and second variational formulas of biharmonic maps and bi-Yang-Mills fields, and show the first variation formula of k-harmonic maps, and also give an overview of our recent results in (12), i.e., classifications of all biharmonic isopara- metric hypersurfaces in the unit sphere, and all biharmonic homogeneous real hypersurfaces in the complex or quaternionic projective spaces, answers in case of bounded geometry to Chen's conjecture or Caddeo, Montaldo and Piu's one on biharmonic maps into a space of non positive curvature and the isolation phenomena of bi-Yang-Mills fields.

A short survey on biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds

Abstract: and the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equation is H = 0, where H is the mean curvature vector field. If φ : (M, g) → (N, h) is a Riemannian immersion, then it is a critical point of the bienergy in C∞(M,N) if and only if it is a minimal immersion [26]. Thus, in order to study minimal immersions one can look at harmonic Riemannian immersions. A natural generalization of harmonic maps and minimal immersions can be given by considering the functionals obtained integrating the square of the norm of the tension field or of the mean curvature vector field, respectively. More precisely: • biharmonic maps are the critical points of the bienergy functional E2 : C∞(M,N) → R, E2(φ) = 12 ∫
