Abstract: The variational theory of higher-power energy is developed for mappings between Riemannian manifolds, and more generally sections of submersions of Riemannian manifolds, and applied to sections of Riemannian vector bundles and their sphere subbundles. A complete classification is then given for left-invariant vector fields on 3-dimensional unimodular Lie groups equipped with an arbitrary left-invariant Riemannian metric.

Review text

Motivated by the Skyrmion model for the nucleus, the authors consider ``higher energies leading to higher harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds, and more generally, sections of submersions (not necessarily Riemannian submersions) of Riemannian manifolds. These higher energies are essentially the energies associated to higher coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a matrix. In particular, the highest such energy corresponds to (akin to the energy-length correspondence for geodesics) volume-deformation. The Euler-Lagrange equations are derived and consequences are explored (but not the analytic aspects of existence, uniqueness, blow-up, etc). The paper is also furnished with examples arising primarily from Lie groups.
