Harmonic morphisms between degenerate semi-Riemannian manifoldsAlberto Pambirae-mail: pambira@tiscali.itAbstract: In this paper we generalize harmonic maps and morphisms to the degenerate semi-Riemannian category, in the case when the manifolds $M$ and $N$ are stationary and the map $\phi :M\rightarrow N$ is radical-preserving. We characterize geometrically the notion of (generalized) horizontal (weak) conformality and we obtain a characterization for (generalized) harmonic morphisms in terms of (generalized) harmonic maps. Keywords: Harmonic morphism, harmonic map, degenerate semi-Rieman\-nian manifold, stationary manifold Classification (MSC2000): 53B30; 53C43 Full text of the article:
