Let (Mn,g) be a closed Riemannian manifold and N a warped product manifold of two space forms. We investigate geometric properties by the spectra of the Jacobi operator of a harmonic map φ : M → N . In particular, we show if N is a warped product manifold of Euclidean space with a space form and φ,ψ : M → N are two projectively harmonic maps, then the energy of φ and ψ are equal up to constant ...
