Abstract: We continue our study [Ou4] of f-biharmonic maps and f-biharmonic submanifolds by exploring the applications of f-biharmonic maps and the relationships among biharmonicity, f-biharmonicity and conformality of maps between Riemannian manifolds. We are able to characterize harmonic maps and minimal submanifolds by using the concept of f-biharmonic maps and prove that the set of all f-biharmonic maps from 2-dimensional domain is invariant under the conformal change of the metric on the domain. We give an improved equation for f-biharmonic hypersurfaces and use it to prove some rigidity theorems about f-biharmonic hypersurfaces in nonpositively curved manifolds, and to give some classifications of f-biharmonic hypersurfaces in Einstein spaces and in space forms. Finally, we also use the improved f-biharmonic hypersurface equation to obtain an improved equation and some classifications of biharmonic conformal immersions of surfaces into a 3-manifold.


The present article continues the previous study of the author [Pac. J. Math. 271, No. 2, 461--477 (2014; Zbl 1314.58009)], by exploring the applications of \(f\)-biharmonic maps and the relationships among biharmonicity, \(f\)-biharmonicity and conformality of maps between Riemannian manifolds. The harmonic maps and the minimal submanifolds are characterized by using the concept of \(f\)-biharmonic maps, and it is proven that the set of all \(f\)-biharmonic maps from 2-dimensional domain is invariant under the conformal change of the metric on the domain. An improved equation for \(f\)-biharmonic hypersurfaces is provided, and used both to prove some rigidity theorems about \(f\)-biharmonic hypersurfaces in nonpositively curved manifolds, and to give some classifications of \(f\)-biharmonic hypersurfaces in Einstein spaces and in space forms. As well, the improved \(f\)-biharmonic hypersurface equation is used to obtain an improved equation and classifications of biharmonic conformal immersions of surfaces into a 3-manifold.
