$f$-Biharmonic hypersurfaces into a conformally flat space

We first study $f$-biharmonicity of totally umbilical hypersurfaces in a generic Riemannian manifold and then prove that any totally umbilical proper $f$-biharmonic hypersurface in a nonpositively curved manifold has to be noncompact. We also explore $f$-biharmonicity of totally umbilical hyperplanes in a conformally flat space. Secondly, we construct $f$-biharmonic surfaces and biharmonic conformal immersions of the associated surfaces into a conformall flat 3-space and also give a complete classification of $f$-biharmonic surfaces of nonzero constant mean curvature in 3-space forms. Finally, we especially investigate $f$-biharmonicity of hypersurfaces into a conformally flat space of negative sectional curvature. We show that any totally umbilical $f$-biharmonic surface of a 3-manifold with nonpositve sectional curvature is minimal whilst there are proper $f$-biharmonic $m$-dimensional submanifolds with $m\geq3$ and $m\neq4$ into nonpositvely curved manifolds.

$f$-Biharmonic submanifolds in space forms and $f$-biharmonic Riemannian submersions from 3-manifolds

$f$-Biharmonic maps are generalizations of harmonic maps and biharmonic maps. In this paper, we obtain some descriptions of $f$-biharmonic curves in a space form. We also obtain a complete classification of proper $f$-biharmonic isometric immersions of a developable surface in $\r^3$ by proving that a proper $f$-biharmonic developable surface exists only in the case where the surface is a cylinder. Based on this, we show that a proper biharmonic conformal immersion of a developable surface into $\r^3$ exists only in the case when the surface is a cylinder. Riemannian submersions can be viewed as the dual notion of isometric immersions (i.e., submanifolds). We also study $f$-biharmonicity of Riemannian submersions from 3-space forms by using the integrability data. Examples are given of proper $f$-biharmonic Riemannian submersions and $f$-biharmonic surfaces and curves.
