Can I read Harmonic sections of Riemannian vector bundles, and metrics of Cheeger–Gromoll type on EtoBox?

Harmonic sections of Riemannian vector bundles, and metrics of Cheeger–Gromoll type by M. Benyounes; E. Loubeau; C.M. Wood is a Mathematics article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Harmonic sections of Riemannian vector bundles, and metrics of Cheeger–Gromoll type about?

We study harmonic sections of a Riemannian vector bundle E → M when E is equipped with a 2-parameter family of metrics h p,q which includes both the Sasaki and Cheeger-Gromoll metrics. For every k > 0 there exists a unique p such that the harmonic sections of the radius-k sphere subbundle are harmonic sections of E with respect to h p,q for all q. In both compact and noncompact cases, Bernstein regions of the (p, q)-plane are identified, where the only harmonic sections of E with respect to h p,q are parallel. Examples are constructed of vector fields which are harmonic sections of E = T M in the case where M is compact and has non-zero Euler characteristic.
