Abstract:

J. Eells and J. C. Wood [2] gave the fundamental method of construction of certain harmonic maps from Riemann surfaces to complex projective spaces. In this paper, we will construct nonholomorphic harmonic maps of Kaehler manifolds to complex Grassmann manifolds as the Gauss maps for holomorphic immersions of Kaehler manifolds to complex projective spaces.
