Extended Derdziński-Shen theorem for curvature tensors

Carlo Alberto Mantica, Luca Guido Molinari (2012)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We extend a remarkable theorem of Derdziński and Shen, on the restrictions imposed on the Riemann tensor by the existence of a nontrivial Codazzi tensor. We show that the Codazzi equation can be replaced by a more general algebraic condition. The resulting extension applies both to the Riemann tensor and to generalized curvature tensors.

A pinching theorem on complete submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vectors

Ziqi Sun (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let M be an n-dimensional complete immersed submanifold with parallel mean curvature vectors in an (n+p)-dimensional Riemannian manifold N of constant curvature c > 0. Denote the square of length and the length of the trace of the second fundamental tensor of M by S and H, respectively. We prove that if S ≤ 1/(n-1) H² + 2c, n ≥ 4, or S ≤ 1/2 H² + min(2,(3p-3)/(2p-3))c, n = 3, then M is umbilical. This result generalizes the...
