Linear \(\infty\)-harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds (Q1005903)

A map \(\phi:(M,g)\to (N,h)\) between Riemannian manifolds is \(\infty\)-harmonic if \[ \tau_{\infty}(\varphi)=\frac{1}{2}d\varphi(\nabla|d\varphi|^2)=0. \] The Heisenberg group, and the Nil and Sol spaces can be represented by \(\mathbb{R}^3\) with the metrics \(g=dx^2+ dy^2+ (dz+ \frac{y}{2}dx-\frac{x}{2}dy)^2\), \(g_{Nil}=dx^2+dy^2+ (dz-xdy)^2\), and \(g_{Sol}=e^{2z}dx^2+ e^{-2z}dy^2+ dz^2\), respectively. The author classifies the linear \(\infty\)-harmonic maps \(\varphi\) between Euclidean and Heisenberg spaces, between Nil and Sol spaces, as well for linear endomorphisms of the Sol space.
