On canonical screen for lightlike submanifolds of codimension two

K. Duggal (2007)

Open Mathematics

In this paper we study two classes of lightlike submanifolds of codimension two of semi-Riemannian manifolds, according as their radical subspaces are 1-dimensional or 2-dimensional. For a large variety of both these classes, we prove the existence of integrable canonical screen distributions subject to some reasonable geometric conditions and support the results through examples.

On Deszcz symmetries of Wintgen ideal submanifolds

Miroslava Petrović-Torgašev, Leopold C. A. Verstraelen (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

It was conjectured in [26] that, for all submanifolds M n of all real space forms M ˜ n + m ( c ) , the Wintgen inequality ρ H 2 - ρ + c is valid at all points of M , whereby ρ is the normalised scalar curvature of the Riemannian manifold M and H 2 , respectively ρ , are the squared mean curvature and the normalised scalar normal curvature of the submanifold M in the ambient space M ˜ , and this conjecture was shown there to be true whenever codimension m = 2 . For a given Riemannian manifold M , this inequality can be interpreted as follows:...

On geometry of curves of flags of constant type

Boris Doubrov, Igor Zelenko (2012)

Open Mathematics

We develop an algebraic version of Cartan’s method of equivalence or an analog of Tanaka prolongation for the (extrinsic) geometry of curves of flags of a vector space W with respect to the action of a subgroup G of GL(W). Under some natural assumptions on the subgroup G and on the flags, one can pass from the filtered objects to the corresponding graded objects and describe the construction of canonical bundles of moving frames for these curves in the language of pure linear algebra. The scope...

On minimal homothetical hypersurfaces

Lin Jiu, Huafei Sun (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We give a classification of minimal homothetical hypersurfaces in an (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space. In fact, when n ≥ 3, a minimal homothetical hypersurface is a hyperplane, a quadratic cone, a cylinder on a quadratic cone or a cylinder on a helicoid.
