On the biharmonicity of product maps

We introduce the warped product of maps defined between Riemannian warped product spaces and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for warped product maps to be (bi)harmonic. We obtain then some characterizations of nontrivial harmonic metrics and nonharmonic biharmonic metrics on warped produ...
