Harmonic morphisms from 5-dimensional Lie groups

From MaRDI portal





The author considers 5-dimensional Lie groups \(G\) equipped with a left-invariant Riemannian metric. On such groups, left-invariant conformal foliations with minimal leaves of codimension 2 are constructed. These foliations admit an integrable tangent distribution \(\mathcal{V}\) which is left-invariant, and hence is induced by a 3-dimensional subalgebra \(\mathfrak{k}\) of the Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}\) of \(G\). It is shown that these foliations produce complex-valued harmonic morphisms locally defined on the Lie group. The Appendix exemplifies the nine disjoint types I--IX of 3-dimensional real algebras, classified by L Bianchi up to isomorphy. Each type contains a single isomorphy class, except VI and VII, which are continuous families of different classes.
