Harmonic morphisms on Lie groups and minimal conformal foliations of codimension two

Gudmundsson, Sigmundur LU orcid and Munn, Thomas Jack LU (2024) In Journal of Geometry and Physics 198.
Abstract

Let G be a Lie group equipped with a left-invariant semi-Riemannian metric. Let K be a semisimple subgroup of G generating a left-invariant conformal foliation F of codimension two on G. We then show that the foliation F is minimal. This means that locally the leaves of F are fibres of a complex-valued harmonic morphism. In the Riemannian case, we prove that if the metric restricted to K is biinvariant then F is totally geodesic.
