B.-Y. Chen's inequalities for submanifolds of Sasakian space forms

Filip Defever, Ion Mihai, Leopold Verstraelen (2001)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Recentemente, B.-Y. Chen ha introdotto una nuova serie di invarianti δ n 1 , , n k riemanniani per ogni varietà riemanniana. Ha anche ottenuto disuguaglianze strette per questi invarianti per sottovarietà di forme spaziali reali e complesse in funzione della loro curvatura media. Nel presente lavoro proviamo analoghe stime per gli invarianti δ n 1 , , n k per sottovarietà C -totalmente reali e C R di contatto di una forma spaziale di Sasaki M ~ c .

Cauchy-Riemann submanifolds of Kaehlerian Finsler spaces.

Sorin Dragomir (1989)

Collectanea Mathematica

We study the geometry of the second fundamental form of a Cauchy-Riemann submanifold of a Kaehlerian Finsler space M2n; any totally-real submanifold of M2n with v-flat normal connection is shown to be a Berwald-Cartan space.

Caustics and wave front propagations: applications to differential geometry

Shyuichi Izumiya, Masatomo Takahashi (2008)

Banach Center Publications

This is mainly a survey on the theory of caustics and wave front propagations with applications to differential geometry of hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. We give a brief review of the general theory of caustics and wave front propagations, which are well-known now. We also consider a relationship between caustics and wave front propagations which might be new. Moreover, we apply this theory to differential geometry of hypersurfaces, getting new geometric properties.

Characterization of totally umbilic hypersurfaces in a space form by circles

Toshiaki Adachi, Sadahiro Maeda (2005)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we characterize totally umbilic hypersurfaces in a space form by a property of the extrinsic shape of circles on hypersurfaces. This characterization corresponds to characterizations of isoparametric hypersurfaces in a space form by properties of the extrinsic shape of geodesics due to Kimura-Maeda.

Characterizations of complex space forms by means of geodesic spheres and tubes

J. Gillard (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that a connected complex space form ( M n ,g,J) with n ≥ 4 can be characterized by the Ricci-semi-symmetry condition R ˜ X Y · ϱ ˜ = 0 and by the semi-parallel condition R ˜ X Y · σ = 0 , considering special choices of tangent vectors X , Y to small geodesic spheres or geodesic tubes (that is, tubes about geodesics), where R ˜ , ϱ ˜ and σ denote the Riemann curvature tensor, the corresponding Ricci tensor of type (0,2) and the second fundamental form of the spheres or tubes and where R ˜ X Y acts as a derivation.
