f-Harmonic Morphisms Between Riemannian Manifolds

f-Harmonic maps were first introduced and studied by Lichnerowicz in 1970. In this paper, the author studies a subclass of f-harmonic maps called f-harmonic morphisms which pull back local harmonic functions to local f-harmonic functions. The author proves that a map between Riemannian manifolds is an f-harmonic morphism if and only if it is a horizontally weakly conformal f-harmonic map. This generalizes the well-known characterization for harmonic morphisms. Some properties and many examples as well as some non-existence of f-harmonic morphisms are given. The author also studies the f-harmonicity of conformal immersions.
