Structurally stable configurations of lines of mean curvature and umbilic points on surfaces immersed in R.

Ronaldo García, Jorge Sotomayor (2001)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

In this paper we study the pairs of orthogonal foliations on oriented surfaces immersed in R whose singularities and leaves are, respectively, the umbilic points and the lines of normal mean curvature of the immersion. Along these lines the immersions bend in R according to their normal mean curvature. By analogy with the closely related Principal Curvature Configurations studied in [S-G], [GS2], whose lines produce the extremal for the immersion, the pair of foliations by lines of...

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...
