Global pinching theorems for minimal submanifolds in spheres

Kairen Cai (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let M be a compact submanifold with parallel mean curvature vector embedded in the unit sphere $S^{n + p} (1)$ . By using the Sobolev inequalities of P. Li to get $L_{p}$ estimates for the norms of certain tensors related to the second fundamental form of M, we prove some rigidity theorems. Denote by H and ${| | σ | |}_{p}$ the mean curvature and the $L_{p}$ norm of the square length of the second fundamental form of M. We show that there is a constant C such that if ${| | σ | |}_{n / 2} < C$ , then M is a minimal submanifold in the sphere $S^{n + p - 1} (1 + H ²)$ with sectional...

Riemannian semisymmetric almost Kenmotsu manifolds and nullity distributions

Yaning Wang, Ximin Liu (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We consider an almost Kenmotsu manifold $M^{2 n + 1}$ with the characteristic vector field ξ belonging to the (k,μ)’-nullity distribution and h’ ≠ 0 and we prove that $M^{2 n + 1}$ is locally isometric to the Riemannian product of an (n+1)-dimensional manifold of constant sectional curvature -4 and a flat n-dimensional manifold, provided that $M^{2 n + 1}$ is ξ-Riemannian-semisymmetric. Moreover, if $M^{2 n + 1}$ is a ξ-Riemannian-semisymmetric almost Kenmotsu manifold such that ξ belongs to the (k,μ)-nullity distribution, we prove...

Almost invariant submanifolds for compact group actions

Alan Weinstein (2000)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We define a $C^{1}$ distance between submanifolds of a riemannian manifold $M$ and show that, if a compact submanifold $N$ is not moved too much under the isometric action of a compact group $G$ , there is a $G$ -invariant submanifold $C^{1}$ -close to $N$ . The proof involves a procedure of averaging nearby submanifolds of riemannian manifolds in a symmetric way. The procedure combines averaging techniques of Cartan, Grove/Karcher, and de la Harpe/Karoubi with Whitney’s idea of realizing submanifolds as zeros...

Complete noncompact submanifolds with flat normal bundle

Hai-Ping Fu (2016)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let Mⁿ (n ≥ 3) be an n-dimensional complete super stable minimal submanifold in $ℝ^{n + p}$ with flat normal bundle. We prove that if the second fundamental form A of M satisfies $\int_{M} i {| A |}^{α} < \infty$ , where α ∈ [2(1 - √(2/n)), 2(1 + √(2/n))], then M is an affine n-dimensional plane. In particular, if n ≤ 8 and $\int_{M} {| A |}^{d} < \infty$ , d = 1,3, then M is an affine n-dimensional plane. Moreover, complete strongly stable hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and finite $L^{α}$ -norm curvature in ℝ⁷ are considered.

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We give the definition of $f$ -biminimal submanifolds and derive the equation for $f$ -biminimal submanifolds. As an application, we give some examples of $f$ -biminimal manifolds. Finally, we consider $f$ -minimal hypersurfaces in the product space $ℝ^{n} \times 𝕊^{1} (a)$ and derive two rigidity theorems.

Collapse of warped submersions

Szymon M. Walczak (2006)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We generalize the concept of warped manifold to Riemannian submersions π: M → B between two compact Riemannian manifolds $(M, g_{M})$ and $(B, g_{B})$ in the following way. If f: B → (0,∞) is a smooth function on B which is extended to a function f̂ = f ∘ π constant along the fibres of π then we define a new metric $g_{f}$ on M by $g_{f} |_{\times} \equiv g_{M} |_{\times}, g_{f} {|_{\times T M ̂} \equiv f ̂ ² g_{M} |}_{\times T M ̂}$ , where and denote the bundles of horizontal and vertical vectors. The manifold $(M, g_{f})$ obtained that way is called a warped submersion. The function f is called a warping function. We show...

On stable currents in positively pinched curved hypersurfaces

Jintang Li (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let Mⁿ (n ≥ 3) be an n-dimensional complete hypersurface in a real space form N(c) (c ≥ 0). We prove that if the sectional curvature $K_{M}$ of M satisfies the following pinching condition: $c + δ < K_{M} \leq c + 1$ , where δ = 1/5 for n ≥ 4 and δ = 1/4 for n = 3, then there are no stable currents (or stable varifolds) in M. This is a positive answer to the well-known conjecture of Lawson and Simons.

Upper bounds on the length of a shortest closed geodesic and quantitative Hurewicz theorem

Alexander Nabutovsky, Regina Rotman (2003)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In this paper we present two upper bounds on the length of a shortest closed geodesic on compact Riemannian manifolds. The first upper bound depends on an upper bound on sectional curvature and an upper bound on the volume of the manifold. The second upper bound will be given in terms of a lower bound on sectional curvature, an upper bound on the diameter and a lower bound on the volume. The related questions that will also be studied are the following: given a contractible $k$ -dimensional...

Let $M$ be an $n$ -dimensional submanifold in the unit sphere $S^{n + p}$ , we call $M$ a $k$ -extremal submanifold if it is a critical point of the functional $\int_{M} ρ^{2 k} d v$ . In this paper, we can study gap phenomenon for these submanifolds.

A short note on $f$ -biharmonic hypersurfaces

Selcen Y. Perktaş, Bilal E. Acet, Adara M. Blaga (2020)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

In the present paper we give some properties of $f$ -biharmonic hypersurfaces in real space forms. By using the $f$ -biharmonic equation for a hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold, we characterize the $f$ -biharmonicity of constant mean curvature and totally umbilical hypersurfaces in a Riemannian manifold and, in particular, in a real space form. As an example, we consider $f$ -biharmonic vertical cylinders in $S^{2} \times ℝ$ .

Ori Parzanchevski (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study finite $G$ -sets and their tensor product with Riemannian manifolds, and obtain results on isospectral quotients and covers. In particular, we show the following: If $M$ is a compact connected Riemannian manifold (or orbifold) whose fundamental group has a finite non-cyclic quotient, then $M$ has isospectral non-isometric covers.

Tenseness of Riemannian flows

Hiraku Nozawa, José Ignacio Royo Prieto (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We show that any transversally complete Riemannian foliation $ℱ$ of dimension one on any possibly non-compact manifold $M$ is tense; namely, $M$ admits a Riemannian metric such that the mean curvature form of $ℱ$ is basic. This is a partial generalization of a result of Domínguez, which says that any Riemannian foliation on any compact manifold is tense. Our proof is based on some results of Molino and Sergiescu, and it is simpler than the original proof by Domínguez. As an application, we generalize...

Lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Kaehler manifold of a quasi-constant curvature

Dae Ho Jin, Jae Won Lee (2019)

Communications in Mathematics

Similarity:

We study lightlike hypersurfaces $M$ of an indefinite Kaehler manifold $\bar{M}$ of quasi-constant curvature subject to the condition that the characteristic vector field $ζ$ of $\bar{M}$ is tangent to $M$ . First, we provide a new result for such a lightlike hypersurface. Next, we investigate such a lightlike hypersurface $M$ of $\bar{M}$ such that (1) the screen distribution $S (T M)$ is totally umbilical or (2) $M$ is screen conformal.

Given a domain $Ω$ of $ℝ^{m + 1}$ and a $k$ -dimensional non-degenerate minimal submanifold $K$ of $\partial Ω$ with $1 \leq k \leq m - 1$ , we prove the existence of a family of embedded constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in $Ω$ which as their mean curvature tends to infinity concentrate along $K$ and intersecting $\partial Ω$ perpendicularly along their boundaries.

In this paper, we deal with $n$ -dimensional complete linear Weingarten spacelike submanifolds immersed with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field and flat normal bundle in a locally symmetric semi-Riemannian space $L_{p}^{n + p}$ of index $p > 1$ , which obeys some curvature constraints (such an ambient space can be regarded as an extension of a semi-Riemannian space form). Under appropriate hypothesis, we are able to prove that such a spacelike submanifold is either totally umbilical or isometric...
