Harmonic vector fields on Landsberg manifolds
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 352 (2014) no. 9, pp. 737-741.

Let (M,F) be a compact boundaryless Landsberg manifold. In this work, a necessary and sufficient condition for a vector field on (M,F) to be harmonic is obtained. Next, on a compact boundaryless Finsler manifold of zero flag curvature, a necessary and sufficient condition for a vector field to be harmonic is found. Furthermore, the nonexistence of harmonic vector fields on a compact Landsberg manifold is studied and an upper bound for the first de Rham cohomology group is obtained.

Soit (M,F) une variété landsbergienne compacte sans bord. Dans cet article, il est obtenu une condition nécessaire et suffisante pour qu'un champ de vecteurs sur (M,F) soit harmonique. On donne ensuite un énoncé analogue sur une variété finslérienne compacte sans bord. En outre, on étudie la non-existence de champs de vecteurs harmoniques sur les variétés landsbergiennes compactes et, enfin, une borne supérieure pour le premier groupe de cohomologie de de Rham est obtenue.
