✦ Synopsis

We show how the equations for harmonic maps into homogeneous spaces generalize to harmonic sections of homogeneous fibre bundles. Surprisingly, the generalization does not explicitly involve the curvature of the bundle. However, a number of special cases of the harmonic section equations (including the new condition of superflatness) are studied in which the bundle curvature does appear. Some examples are given to illustrate these special cases in the non-flat environment. The bundle in question is the twistor bundle of an even-dimensional Riemannian manifold M whose sections are the almost-Hermitian structures of M.

We study the regularity of weakly harmonic sections of fiber bundles (N, M, Ο€), where (M, g) and (N, h) are Riemannian manifolds. One of our results is that, when the fibers are regular geodesic balls and the fiber bundle is Riemannian, any weakly harmonic section is continuous. We also study the ex
