On the biharmonic and harmonic indices of the Hopf map

E. Loubeau, C. Oniciuc

英文摘要:

Biharmonic maps are the critical points of the bienergy functional and, from this point of view, generalise harmonic maps. We consider the Hopf map $ψ:\s^3\to \s^2$ and modify it into a nonharmonic biharmonic map $ϕ:\s^3\to \s^3$. We show $ϕ$ to be unstable and estimate its biharmonic index and nullity. Resolving the spectrum of the vertical Laplacian associated to the Hopf map, we recover Urakawa's determination of its harmonic index and nullity.
