Erratum: Geometry of the Rolling Ellipsoid
We use the general theory developed in our article [Čap A., Melnick K., Essential Killing fields of parabolic geometries, Indiana Univ. Math. J. (in press)], in the setting of parabolic geometries to reprove known results on special infinitesimal automorphisms of projective and conformal geometries.
We construct a class of nonsemisymmetric Ricci-semisymmetric warped products. Some manifolds of this class can be locally realized as hypersurfaces of a semi-Euclidean space , n ≥ 5.
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.
We prove the existence of extremal domains with small prescribed volume for the first eigenvalue of Laplace-Beltrami operator in some Riemannian manifold. These domains are close to geodesic spheres of small radius centered at a nondegenerate critical point of the scalar curvature.
We give the definition of -biminimal submanifolds and derive the equation for -biminimal submanifolds. As an application, we give some examples of -biminimal manifolds. Finally, we consider -minimal hypersurfaces in the product space and derive two rigidity theorems.
