We show an alternative proof of the sharpest known lower bound for the logarithmic energy on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$. We then generalize this proof to get new lower bounds for the Green energy on the unit $n$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$.

Consider two manifolds~$M^m$ and $N^n$ and a first-order Lagrangian $L(u)$ for mappings $u:M\to N$, i.e., $L$ is an expression involving $u$ and its first derivatives whose value is an $m$-form (or more generally, an $m$-density) on~$M$.…
