By deriving an $L_{\\epsilon}$-type Bochner's formula and a Kato type inequality, we prove a Liouville type theorem for weakly p-harmonic functions with finite p-energy on a complete noncompact manifold M which supports a weighted Poincar\\'{e} inequality and satisfies a curvature assumption. This nonexistence result, when combined with an existence theorem, yields in turn some information on topology, i.e. such an M has at most one p-hyperbolic end. Moreover, we prove a Liouville type theorem for strongly p-harmonic functions with finite q-energy on Riemannian manifolds, where the range for q contains p. As an application, we extend this theorem to some p-harmonic maps such as p-harmonic morphisms and conformal maps between Riemannian manifolds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-10-30T01:53:24.000Z", "comment": null, "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v3", "updated": "2016-02-23T03:04:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "p-harmonic maps", "finite q-energy", "liouville properties", "liouville type theorem", "riemannian manifolds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1211.2899C" } } }
