    Abstract

    We consider the infima e E(f) on homotopy classes of energy functionals E defined on smooth maps f:Mn → V k between compact connected Riemannian manifolds. If M contains a submanifold L of codimension greater than the degree of E then e E(f) is determined by the homotopy class of the restriction of f to M \ L. Conversely if the infimum on a homotopy class of a functional of at least conformal degree vanishes then the map is trivial in homology of high degrees.
