The subject of harmonic and biharmonic submanifolds, with important role in mathematical physics and differential geometry, arises from the variation problems of ordinary mean curvature vector field. Generally, harmonic submanifolds are biharmonic, but not vice versa. Of course, many examples of biharmonic hypersurfaces are harmonic. A well-known conjecture of Bang-Yen Chen on Euclidean spaces says that every biharmonic submanifold is harmonic. Although the conjecture has not been proven (in general case), it has been affirmed in many cases, and this has led to its spread to various types of submanifolds. Inspired by the conjecture, we study the Lorentz submanifolds of the Lorentz-Minkowski spaces. We consider an advanced versión of the conjecture (namely, L1-conjecture) on Lorentz hypersurfaces of the pseudo-Euclidean 5-space L5 := E15 (i.e. the Minkowski 5-space). We confirm the extended conjecture on Lorentz hypersurfaces with three principal curvatures.
