Abstract: We consider biharmonic maps phi:(M,g)ightarrow(N,h) from a complete Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature. Assume that alpha satisfies 1<alpha<infty. If for such an alpha, intM|au(phi)|alphadvg<infty and intM|dphi|2dvg<infty, where au(phi) is the tension field of phi, then we show that phi is harmonic. For a biharmonic submanifold, we obtain that the above assumption intM|dphi|2dvg<infty is not necessary. These results give affirmative partial answers to the global version of generalized Chen's conjecture.
