Abstract

We produce p-harmonic morphisms by conformal foliations and Clifford systems. First, we give a useful criterion for a foliation on an m-dimensional Riemannian manifold locally generated by conformal fields to produce p-harmonic morphisms. By using this criterion we manufacture conformal foliations, with codimension not equal to p, which are locally the fibres of p-harmonic morphisms. Then we give a new approach for the construction of p-harmonic morphisms from ℜ m {0} to ℜ n . By the well-known representation of Clifford algebras, we find an abundance of the new -harmonic morphism Φ : ℜ m {0} → ℜ n where m = 2(n − 1).
