Energy and volume of vector fields on spherical domains

Fabiano G. B. Brito, André O. Gomes and Giovanni S. Nunes

Vol. 257 (2012), No. 1, 1–7
Abstract

We present a “boundary version” for theorems about minimality of volume and energy functionals on a spherical domain of an odd-dimensional Euclidean sphere.

Keywords
energy of vector fields, volume of vector fields, Hopf flow
