Abstract

In this paper, we consider maps from pseudo-Hermitian manifolds to K\"{a}hler manifolds and introduce partial energy functionals for these maps. First, we obtain a foliated Lichnerowicz type result on general pseudo-Hermitian manifolds, which generalizes a related result on Sasakian manifolds in \cite{SSZ2013holomorphic}. Next, we investigate critical maps of the partial energy functionals, which are referred to as b\overline{\partial }_{b}-harmonic maps and b\partial _{b}-harmonic maps. We give a foliated result for both b\overline{\partial }_{b}- and b\partial _{b}-harmonic maps, generalizing a foliated result of Petit \cite{Pet2002harmonic} for harmonic maps. Then we are able to generalize Siu's holomorphicity result for harmonic maps \cite{Siu1980rigid} to the case for b\overline{\partial }_{b}- and b\partial _{b}-harmonic maps.
