Harmonic morphisms from the classical non-compact semisimple Lie groups
Author
Summary, in English
We construct the first known complex-valued harmonic morphisms from the non-compact Lie groups View the MathML source, SU*(2n) and View the MathML source equipped with their standard Riemannian metrics. We then introduce the notion of a bi-eigenfamily and employ this to construct the first known solutions on the non-compact Riemannian SO*(2n), SO(p,q), SU(p,q) and Sp(p,q). Applying a duality principle we then show how to manufacture the first known complex-valued harmonic morphisms from the compact Lie groups SO(n), SU(n) and Sp(n) equipped with semi-Riemannian metrics.
