Abstract

This note studies nonrigidity of equivariant harmonic maps f: M ⟶ Sn of a Riemannian homogeneous space M into the Euclidean-sphere Sn via representation theory applied to the induced module structure on Rn and, for specific M, produces (divergence-free) Jacobi fields along f which do not come from isometric deformations of f on the range.
