We consider a covariant symmetric tensor $T_f$ $=$ ${\\displaystyle f^*h - \\frac{1}{m} |df|^2 g}$, where $f^*h$ denotes the pull-back metric of $h$ by $f$. The tensor $T_f$ vanishes if and only if the map $f$ is weakly conformal. The norm $|T_f|$ is a quantity which is a measure of conformality of $f$ at each point. We are concerned with maps which are critical points of the functional $\\Phi (f)$ $=$ ${\\displaystyle \\int_M |T_f|^2dv_g}$. We call such maps {\\it C-stationary map"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1209.4249","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
