Abstract
A Gauss map of m-dimensional distribution on a Riemannian manifold M is called a harmonic Gauss map if it is a harmonic map from the manifold into its Grassmann bundle <TEX>$G_m$</TEX>(TM) of m-dimensional tangent subspace. We calculate the tension field of the Gauss map of m-dimensional distribution and especially show that the Hopf fibrations on <TEX>$S^{4n+3}$</TEX> are the harmonic Gauss map of 3-dimensional distribution.
