Scalar curvature on lightlike hypersurfaces.
A Riemannian manifold is said to be semisymmetric if . A submanifold of Euclidean space which satisfies is called semiparallel. It is known that semiparallel submanifolds are intrinsically semisymmetric. But can every semisymmetric manifold be immersed isometrically as a semiparallel submanifold? This problem has been solved up to now only for the dimension 2, when the answer is affirmative for the positive Gaussian curvature. Among semisymmetric manifolds a special role is played by the foliated...
We characterize curvature-adapted real hypersurfaces in nonflat quaternionic space forms in terms of their shape operators and structure tensors.
We study Legendre and slant curves for Bianchi-Cartan-Vranceanu metrics. These curves are characterized through the scalar product between the normal at the curve and the vertical vector field and in the helix case they have a proper (non-harmonic) mean curvature vector field. The general expression of the curvature and torsion of these curves and the associated Lancret invariant (for the slant case) are computed as well as the corresponding variant for some particular cases. The slant (particularly...
In this paper we review some of the concepts and results of V. I. Arnol’d [1] for curves in and extend them to curves and surfaces in .
