Title: Remarks on a theorem of Eells and Sampson
(Submitted on 27 Mar 2024)
Abstract: We prove an extension of Eells and Sampson's rigidity theorem for harmonic maps from a closed manifold of non-negative Ricci curvature to a manifold of non-positive sectional curvature. We give an application of our result in the setting of harmonic-Einstein (or Ricci-harmonic) metrics and as a consequence we recover a classical rigidity result of Hamilton for the problem of prescribed positive definite Ricci curvature.
