Conformal minimal foliations on semi-Riemannian Lie groups

Gudmundsson, Sigmundur LU orcid ; Ghandour, Elsa LU and Ottosson, Victor (2022) In Journal of Geometry and Symmetry in Physics 63. p.1-20
Abstract
We study left-invariant foliations F on semi-Riemannian Lie groups G generated by a subgroup K. We are interested in such foliations which are conformal and with minimal leaves of codimension two. We classify such foliations F when the subgroup K is one of the important groups SU(2), SL_2(R), SU(2)*SU(2), SU(2)*SL_2(R)$, SU(2)*SO(2), SL_2(R)*SO(2). This way we construct new multi-dimensional families of Lie groups G carrying such foliations in each case. These foliations F produce local complex-valued harmonic morphisms on the corresponding Lie group G.
