For maps between marked closed Riemann surfaces a program of H. E. Rauch (see \textit{M. Gerstenhaber} and \textit{H. E. Rauch}, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 40, 808-812, 991-994 (1954; Zbl 0056.07502) studied the existence of Teichmüller's extremal map by minimizing the energy functionals. The paper under review contributes to that program, by examining related quadratic functionals of maps.
