摘要

In this paper, we define the H-energy for maps between Finsler tangent bundles, based on the potential sub-Riemannian structures on the tangent bundles of Finsler manifolds. We introduce a new connection on the Finsler tangent bundle, called HV-connection. Utilizing this connection, we study horizontal harmonic maps between Finsler manifolds, which are critical points under horizontal variations of the H-energy. Under certain additional assumptions, we establish an existence result (Theorem 6.6) of the Dirichlet problem of horizontal harmonic map from compact Finsler manifolds with boundary.
