Abstract Let (M, g),(N, h) be Riemannian manifolds without boundary, and let f be a smooth map from M into N. We consider a covariant symmetric tensor T f= f⁎ h− 1 m‖ d f‖ 2 g, where f⁎ h denotes the pullback of the metric h by f, and m is the dimension of the manifold M. The tensor T f vanishes if and only if the map f is a weakly conformal map. The norm‖ T f‖ is a quantity which is a measure of the conformality of f at each point. In [4] the author introduced maps which are critical points of the functional E conf (f)=∫ M‖ T f‖ 2 d v g in the case that M is compact. We call such maps C-stationary maps. In the case that M is non-compact, f is defined to be a C-stationary map if it is C-stationary on any compact subset of M. Any conformal map or more generally any weakly conformal one is a C-stationary map. However, there exists a C-stationary map which is not a weakly conformal one.(See Example in [3], p. 156.) In the case that the source manifold or the target one is the n-dimensional standard sphere (n≥ 5), any stable C-stationary map is a weakly conformal one.(See Theorem 1 and 2 in [3].) In this paper we are concerned with rotationally symmetric maps. We prove that any rotationally symmetric smooth map between 4-dimensional model spaces is a C-stationary map if and only if it is a conformal one.
