Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the harmonicity of maps to or from para-Sasakian manifolds. We derive a condition for the tension field of paraholomorphic map between almost para-Hermitian manifold and para-Sasakian manifold. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a paraholomorphic map between para-Sasakian manifolds to be parapluriharmonic are shown and a non-trivial example is presented for their illustration.

Keywords: Harmonic maps; paraholomorphic maps; paracomplex manifolds; paracontact manifolds.
