Both bi-harmonic map and $f$-harmonic map have nice physical motivation and applications. In this paper, by combination of these two harmonic maps, we introduce and study $f$-bi-harmonic maps as the critical points of the $f$-bi-energy…
On a Riemannian surface, the energy of a map into a Riemannian manifold is a conformal invariant functional, and its critical points are the harmonic maps. Our main result is a generalization of this theorem when the starting manifold is…

Let $\pi:(E,\nabla^{E}) \to (M,g)$ be an affine submersion with horizontal distribution, where $\nabla^{E}$ is a symmetric connection and $M$ is a Riemannian manifold. Let $\sigma$ be a section of $\pi$, namely, $\pi \circ \sigma = Id_{M}$.…
We study the transversally harmonic maps between foliated Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we prove that under some curvature conditions, any transversally harmonic map is transversally totally geodesic.
On foliations, there are two kinds of harmonic maps, that is, transversally harmonic map and $(F,F')$-harmonic map which are equivalent when the foliation is minimal. In this paper, we study transversally f-harmonic and $(F,F')_f$-harmonic…

We extend the well-known Sacks-Uhlenbeck energy gap result (1981) for harmonic maps from closed Riemann surfaces into closed Riemannian manifolds from the case of maps with small energy (thus near a constant map), to the case of harmonic…
For a fixed smooth map $u_0$ between two Riemann surfaces $\Sigma$ and $S$ with non-zero degree, we consider the energy function on Teichm\"uller space $\mc{T}$ of $\Sigma$ that assigns to a complex structure $t\in \mc{T}$ on $\Sigma$ the…
