Critical points of a strictly subharmonic function
Let $M$ be a smooth, compact manifold with boundary. Let $u: M \to \mathbf{R}$ be a smooth function that has its Riemannian Laplacian equal to a positive constant:
\begin{equation}
\Delta u = A > 0....

Is the evaluation map from harmonic forms on the torus surjective on flat neighbourhoods?
In a nutshell:
Given a metric on the torus $\mathbb{T}^n$, can we extend any element $\sigma \in \bigwedge^k T_p^*\mathbb{T}^n$ to a global harmonic form?
Let $\mathbb{T}^n$ be the $n$-Torus. Fix ...

Obstructions for the wedge of coordinate differentials to be harmonic
Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold, $d$ even. Are there obstructions (I guess in terms of curvature) for $g$ to have the following property:
For every $p \in M$ there exist a ...

Invariance of the space of harmonic functions under derivation associated to a non-vanishing vector field
Let $X$ be a non-vanishing real analytic vector field on an open manifold $M$. What kind of obstructions would appear when we search for a Riemannian metric on $M$ such that the space of ...

Existence of harmonic maps between loops
Given a Riemannian manifold $M$ and two smooth loops $\gamma_0, \gamma_1: S^1 \longrightarrow M$ in it, I am looking for maps $\phi: [0, T] \times S^1 \longrightarrow M$ which minimize the energy
$$E[\...
