AB - Let $N$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. A quasi-harmonic sphere on $N$ is a harmonic map from $(\mathbb {R}^m,e^{|x|^2/2(m-2)}/ds^2_0)$ to $N$ ($m\ge 3$) with finite energy ([LnW]). Here $ds2^_0$ is the Euclidean metric in $\mathbb {R}^m$. Such maps arise from the blow-up analysis of the heat flow at a singular point. In this paper, we prove some kinds of Liouville theorems for the quasi-harmonic spheres. It is clear that the Liouville theorems imply the existence of the heat flow to the target $N$. We also derive gradient estimates and Liouville theorems for positive quasi-harmonic functions.
