On the four vertex theorem in planes with radial density e φ ( r )

Doan The Hieu, Tran Le Nam (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

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.

On the nonexistence of stable minimal submanifolds and the Lawson-Simons conjecture

Ze-Jun Hu, Guo-Xin Wei (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let M̅ be a compact Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature K M ̅ satisfying 1 / 5 < K M ̅ 1 (resp. 2 K M ̅ < 10 ), 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.

On the normality of an almost contact 3 -structure on Q R -submanifolds

Shoichi Funabashi, Jin Suk Pak, Yang Jae Shin (2003)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study n -dimensional Q R -submanifolds of Q R -dimension ( p - 1 ) immersed in a quaternionic space form Q P ( n + p ) / 4 ( c ) , c 0 , and, in particular, determine such submanifolds with the induced normal almost contact 3 -structure.

On the role of partial Ricci curvature in the geometry of submanifolds and foliations

Vladimir Rovenskiĭ (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

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...

On the total (non absolute) curvature of a even dimensional submanifold Xn immersed in Rn+2.

A. M. Naveira (1994)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

The total curvatures of the submanifolds immersed in the Euclidean space have been studied mainly by Santaló and Chern-Kuiper. In this paper we give geometrical and topological interpretation of the total (non absolute) curvatures of the even dimensional submanifolds immersed in Rn+2. This gives a generalization of two results obtained by Santaló.
