We consider the energy of a unit vector field defined on a compact Riemannian manifold M except at finitely many points. We obtain an estimate of the energy from below which appears to be sharp when M is a sphere of dimension >3. In this case, the minimum of energy is attained if and only if the vector field is totally geodesic with two singularities situated at two antipodal points (at the 'south and north pole').

We compute the energy of conformal flows on Riemannian manifolds and we prove that conformal flows on manifolds of constant curvature are critical if and only if they are isometric.
