On the cut locus and the focal locus of a submanifold in a Riemannian manifold. II.
It is shown that in a plane with a radial density the four vertex theorem holds for the class of all simple closed curves if and only if the density is constant. On the other hand, for the class of simple closed curves that are invariant under a rotation about the origin, the four vertex theorem holds for every radial density.
Let M̅ be a compact Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature satisfying (resp. ), which can be isometrically immersed as a hypersurface in the Euclidean space (resp. the unit Euclidean sphere). Then there exist no stable compact minimal submanifolds in M̅. This extends Shen and Xu’s result for 1/4-pinched Riemannian manifolds and also suggests a modified version of the well-known Lawson-Simons conjecture.
We study -dimensional -submanifolds of -dimension immersed in a quaternionic space form , , and, in particular, determine such submanifolds with the induced normal almost contact -structure.
Submanifolds and foliations with restrictions on q-Ricci curvature are studied. In §1 we estimate the distance between two compact submanifolds in a space of positive q-Ricci curvature, and give applications to special classes of submanifolds and foliations: k-saddle, totally geodesic, with nonpositive extrinsic q-Ricci curvature. In §2 we generalize a lemma by T. Otsuki on asymptotic vectors of a bilinear form and then estimate from below the radius of an immersed submanifold in a simply connected...
Considering the notion of Jacobi type vector fields for a real hypersurface in a complex two-plane Grassmannian, we prove that if a structure vector field is of Jacobi type it is Killing. As a consequence we classify real hypersurfaces whose structure vector field is of Jacobi type.
