Some examples of harmonic maps for g-natural metrics
Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal, Tome 16 (2009) no. 2, pp. 305-320.

On produit des nouveaux exemples d’applications harmoniques, ayant chacune comme espace de départ une variété (M,g) á courbure constante et comme espace d’arrivée son fibré tangent TM, muni d’une métrique g-naturelle Riemannienne appropriée. En particulier, on va déterminer une famille de métriques g-naturelles Riemanniennes G sur T𝕊 2 , par rapport auxquelles tous les champs de vecteurs gradients conformes définissent des applications harmoniques de 𝕊 2 dans (T𝕊 2 ,G).

We produce new examples of harmonic maps, having as source manifold a space (M,g) of constant curvature and as target manifold its tangent bundle TM, equipped with a suitable Riemannian g-natural metric. In particular, we determine a family of Riemannian g-natural metrics G on T𝕊 2 , with respect to which all conformal gradient vector fields define harmonic maps from 𝕊 2 into (T𝕊 2 ,G).
