Consider a real-valued Morse function f on a C^2 closed connected n-dimensional manifold M. It is proved that a suitable Riemannian metric exists on M, such that f is harmonic outside the set of critical points off of index 0 and n. The proof is based on a result of Calabi [1], providing a criterion for a closed one-form on a closed connected manifold to be harmonic with respect to some Riemannian metric.

Abstract
Consider a real-valued Morse function f on a C^2 closed connected n-dimensional manifold M. It is proved that a suitable Riemannian metric exists on M, such that f is harmonic outside the set of critical points off of index 0 and n. The proof is based on a result of Calabi [1], providing a criterion for a closed one-form on a closed connected manifold to be harmonic with respect to some Riemannian metric.File in questo prodotto:
