Abstract

In this paper, we study (F,F)p(\mathcal F,\mathcal F')_{p}-harmonic maps between foliated Riemannian manifolds (M,g,F)(M,g,\mathcal F) and (M,g,F)(M',g',\mathcal F'). A (F,F)p(\mathcal F,\mathcal F')_{p}-harmonic map ϕ:(M,g,F)(M,g,F)\phi:(M,g,\mathcal F)\to (M', g',\mathcal F') is a critical point of the transversal pp-energy functional EB,pE_{B,p}. Trivially, (F,F)2(\mathcal F,\mathcal F')_2-harmonic map is (F,F)(\mathcal F,\mathcal F')-harmonic map, which is a critical point of EBE_B. There is another definition of a harmonic map on foliated Riemannian manifolds, called transversally harmonic map, which is a solution of the Euler-Largrange equation τb(ϕ)=0\tau_b(\phi)=0. Two definitions are not equivalent, but if F\mathcal F is minimal, then two definitons are equivalent. Firstly, we give the first and second variational formulas for (F,F)p(\mathcal F,\mathcal F')_{p}-harmonic maps. Next, we investigate the generalized Weitzenb\"ock type formula and the Liouville type theorem for (F,F)p(\mathcal F,\mathcal F')_{p}-harmonic map.
