contents In this paper, we study an extension of the CPE conjecture to manifolds $M$ which support a structure relating curvature to the geometry of a smooth map $φ: M \to N$. The resulting system, denoted by $(φ-\mathrm{CPE})$, is natural from the variational viewpoint and describes stationary points for the integrated $φ$-scalar curvature functional restricted to metrics with unit volume and constant $φ$-scalar curvature. We prove both a rigidity statement for solutions to $(φ-\mathrm{CPE})$ in a conformal class, and a gap theorem characterizing the round sphere among manifolds supporting $(φ-\mathrm{CPE})$ with $φ$ a harmonic map.
