Abstract

We say that a distribution is harmonic if it is harmonic when considered as a section of the appropriate Grassmann bundle. We find new examples of harmonic distributions and show non-existence of harmonic distributions on some Riemannian manifolds by two different approaches. First, we lift distributions to the second tangent bundle equipped with the Sasaki metric. Second, we deform conformally the metric on a base manifold.
