We show that the geodesic flow vector field on the unit tangent sphere bundle of a two-point homogeneous space is both minimal and harmonic and determines a harmonic map. For a complex space form, we exhibit additional unit vector fields on the unit tangent sphere bundle with those properties. We fi
The stability of the three-dimensional Hopf vector field, as a harmonic section of the unit tangent bundle is viewed from a number of different angles. The spectrum of the vertical Jacobi operator is computed, and compared with that of the Jacobi operator of the identity map on the 3-sphere. The var
