Description

Many important geometric partial differential equations are Euler–Lagrange equations of natural functionals. Amongst the most prominent examples are harmonic and biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds (and their generalisations), Einstein manifolds and minimal submanifolds. Since commonly it is extremely difficult to obtain general structure results concerning existence, index and uniqueness, it is natural to examine these partial differential equations under symmetry assumptions.
