| contents | The energy of any $C^1$ representative of a homotopy class of maps from a compact and connected Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature into a complete Riemannian manifold with no conjugate points is bounded below by a constant determined by the asymptotic geometry of the target, with equality if and only if the original map is totally geodesic. This conclusion also holds under the weaker assumption that the domain is finitely covered by a diffeomorphic product, and its universal covering space splits isometrically as a product with a flat factor, in a commutative diagram that follows from the Cheeger-Gromoll splitting theorem. |
