On the geometry of the Gauss map of conformal foliations by lines
Author
Summary, in English
Let F be an oriented conformal foliation of connected, totally geodesic and 1-dimensional leaves in Rn+1. We prove that if n greater than or equal to 3 then the Gauss map phi: U --> S-n of F is a non-constant n-harmonic morphism if and only if it is a radial projection.
