Complex affine transversal bundles for surfaces in .
For a submanifold of of any codimension the notion of type number is introduced. Under the assumption that the type number is greater than 1 an equivalence theorem is proved.
We study complex affine surfaces in ℂ⁴ with the transversal bundle defined by Nomizu and Vrancken. We classify the surfaces that have recurrent shape operators and parallel transversal metric.
We present a simple constructive proof of the fact that every abelian discrete group is uniformly amenable. We improve the growth function obtained earlier and find the optimal growth function in a particular case. We also compute a growth function for some non-abelian uniformly amenable group.
