In this paper, we introduce a second order linear differential operator ^T□: C^∞ (M) → C^∞ (M) as a natural generalization of Cheng-Yau operator, [8], where T is a (1, 1)-tensor on Riemannian manifold (M, h), and then we show on compact Riemannian manifolds, divT = divT^t, and if divT = 0, and f be a smooth function on M, the condition ^T□ f = 0 implies that f is constant. Hereafter, we introduce T-energy functionals and by deriving variations of these functionals, we define T-harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds, which is a generalization of L_k-harmonic maps introduced in [3]. Also we have studied fT-harmonic maps for conformal immersions and as application of it, we consider fL_k-harmonic hypersurfaces in space forms, and after that we classify complete fL₁-harmonic surfaces, some fL_k-harmonic isoparametric hypersurfaces, fL_k-harmonic weakly convex hypersurfaces, and we show that there exists no compact fL_k-harmonic hypersurface either in the Euclidean space or in the hyperbolic space or in the Euclidean hemisphere. As well, some properties and examples of these definitions are given.

We show the asymptotics of the volume density function in the class of central harmonic manifolds can be specified arbitrarily and do not determine the geometry.

We introduce semi-slant submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds as a generalization of slant submersions, semi-invariant submersions, anti-invariant submersions, etc. We obtain characterizations, investigate the integrability of distributions and the geometry of foliations, etc. We also find a condition for such submersions to be harmonic. Moreover, we give lots of examples.

We investigate the projectively flat warped product manifolds and study the geometric structure of the base space and its fibre. Specifically we find the conditions that the scalar curvature of the base space (B,g) vanishes if and only if f is harmonic on (B,g) and the fibre (F,$\bar{g}$) is a space of constant curvature.

In this note, we extend the definition of harmonic and biharmonic maps via the variation of energy and bienergy between two Riemannian manifolds. In particular we present some new properties for the generalized stress energy tensor and the divergence of the generalized stress bienergy.

In this paper we characterize semiconformally flat spacetimes and a spacetime with harmonic semiconformal curvature tensor. At first in a semiconformally flat perfect fluid spacetime we obtain a state equation and prove that in particular for dimension n = 4, the spacetime represents a model for incoherent radiation. Next we prove that perfect fluid spacetime with harmonic semiconformal curvature tensor is of Petrov type I, D or O and the spacetime is a GRW spacetime. As a consequence we obtain several corollaries.

In this paper, we study Einstein-type manifolds generalizing static spaces and V-static spaces. We prove that if an Einstein-type manifold has non-positive complete divergence of its Weyl tensor and non-negative complete divergence of Bach tensor, then M has harmonic Weyl curvature. Also similar results on an Einstein-type manifold with complete divergence of Riemann tensor are proved.

In this paper, we extend the definition of the Jacobi operator of smooth maps, and biharmonic maps via the variation of bienergy between two Riemannian manifolds. We construct an example of (p, f)-biharmonic non (p, f)-harmonic map. We also prove some Liouville type theorems for (p, f)-biharmonic maps.

Let (B, $\check{g}$) and (N, $\hat{g}$) be Einstein manifolds. Then, we get a complete (necessary and sufficient) condition for the warped product manifold $B\;{\times}_f\;N\;:=\;(B\;{\times}\;N,\;\check{g}\;+\;f{\hat{g}}$) to be Einstein, and obtain a complete condition for the Einstein warped product manifold $B\;{\times}_f\;N$ to be weakly stable. Moreover, we get a complete condition for the map i : ($B,\;\check{g})\;{\times}\;(N,\;\hat{g})\;{\rightarrow}\;B\;{\times}_f\;N$, which is the identity map as a map, to be harmonic. Under the assumption that i is harmonic, we obtain a complete condition for $B\;{\times}_f\;N$ to be Einstein.

In this paper, we extend the definition of p-harmonic maps between two Riemannian manifolds. We prove a Liouville type theorem for generalized p-harmonic maps. We present some new properties for the generalized stress p-energy tensor. We also prove that every generalized p-harmonic map from a complete Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold admitting a homothetic vector field satisfying some condition is constant.
