Abstract
In this paper, we have studied harmonic maps on trans-Sasakian manifolds. First it is proved that if F: M 1 → M 2 is a Riemannian ϕ-holomorphic map between two trans-Sasakian manifolds such that ξ 2 ∈ (Im dF)⊥, then F can not be harmonic provided that β 2 ≠ 0. We have also found the necessary and sufficient condition for the harmonic map to be constant map from Kaehler to trans-Sasakian manifold. Finally, we prove the non-existence of harmonic map from locally conformal Kaehler manifold to trans-Sasakian manifold.
