On homogeneous hypersurfaces in complex Grassmannians.
We will prove that if an open subset of is isometrically immersed into , with , then the image is totally geodesic. We will also prove that if an open subset of isometrically immersed into , with , then the image is totally geodesic.
We give a pinching theorem for a compact minimal generic submanifold with flat normal connection immersed in an odd-dimensional sphere with standard Sasakian structure.
We give a classification of minimal homothetical hypersurfaces in an (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space. In fact, when n ≥ 3, a minimal homothetical hypersurface is a hyperplane, a quadratic cone, a cylinder on a quadratic cone or a cylinder on a helicoid.
Let be a Riemannian -manifold. Denote by and the Ricci tensor and the maximum Ricci curvature on , respectively. In this paper we prove that every totally real submanifolds of a quaternion projective space satisfies , where and are the square mean curvature function and metric tensor on , respectively. The equality holds identically if and only if either is totally geodesic submanifold or and is totally umbilical submanifold. Also we show that if a Lagrangian submanifold of...
Let Mⁿ (n ≥ 3) be an n-dimensional complete hypersurface in a real space form N(c) (c ≥ 0). We prove that if the sectional curvature of M satisfies the following pinching condition: , where δ = 1/5 for n ≥ 4 and δ = 1/4 for n = 3, then there are no stable currents (or stable varifolds) in M. This is a positive answer to the well-known conjecture of Lawson and Simons.
Using the Cartan method O. Boruvka (see [B1], [B2]) studied superminimal surfaces in four-dimensional space forms. In particular, he described locally the family of all superminimal surfaces and classified all of them with a constant radius of the indicatrix. We discuss the mentioned results from the point of view of the twistor theory, providing some new proofs. It turns out that the superminimal surfaces investigated by geometers at the beginning of this century as well as by O. Boruvka...
