Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the minimality of the map $fracx|x|$ from the euclidean unit ball $mathbf{B}^n$ to its boundary $mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ for weighted energy functionals of the type $E_{p,f}=in{t}_{mathbf{B}^n}f(r)|ablau{|}^{p}dx$, where $f$ is a non-negative function. We prove that in each of the two following cases: i) $p=1$ and $f$ is non-decreasing, i)) $p$ is an integer, $pleqn-1$ and $f=r^{alpha}$ with $alphageq0$, the map $fracx|x|$ minimizes $E_{p,f}$ among the maps in $W^{1,p}(mathbf{B}^n,mathbb{S}^{n-1})$ which coincide with $fracx|x|$ on $partialmathbf{B}^n$. We also study the case where $f(r)=r^{alpha}$ with $-n+2<alpha<0$ and prove that $fracx|x|$ does not minimize $E_{p,f}$ for $alpha$ close to $-n+2$ and when $ngeq6$, for $alpha$ close to $4-n$.
