Let $M$ be a $C^2$-smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary and $N$ a complete $C^2$-smooth Riemannian manifold. We show that each stationary $p$-harmonic mapping $u\colon M\to N$, whose image lies in a compact subset of $N$, is locally…

For smooth metric measure spaces $(M, g, e^{-f} dvol)$ we prove a Liuoville-type theorem when the Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor is nonnegative. This generalizes a result of Yau, which is recovered in the case $f$ is constant. This result follows…
