Biwave Maps into Manifolds

We generalize wave maps to biwave maps. We prove that the composition of a biwave map and a totally geodesic map is a biwave map. We give examples of biwave nonwave maps. We show that if 𝑓 is a biwave map into a Riemannian manifold under certain circumstance, then 𝑓 is a wave map. We verify that if...
