We deal with complete submanifolds with weighted Poincaré inequality. By assuming the submanifold is -stable or has sufficiently small total curvature, we establish two vanishing theorems for harmonic -forms, which are extensions of the results of Dung-Seo and Cavalcante-Mirandola-Vitório.
We study lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Kaehler manifold of quasi-constant curvature subject to the condition that the characteristic vector field of is tangent to . First, we provide a new result for such a lightlike hypersurface. Next, we investigate such a lightlike hypersurface of such that (1) the screen distribution is totally umbilical or (2) is screen conformal.
Lorentzian geometry in the large has certain similarities and certain fundamental differences from Riemannian geometry in the large. The Morse index theory for timelike geodesics is quite similar to the corresponding theory for Riemannian manifolds. However, results on completeness for Lorentzian manifolds are quite different from the corresponding results for positive definite manifolds. A generalization of global hyperbolicity known as pseudoconvexity is described. It has important implications...
An (m+2)-dimensional Lorentzian similarity manifold M is an affine flat manifold locally modeled on (G,ℝm+2), where G = ℝm+2 ⋊ (O(m+1, 1)×ℝ+). M is also a conformally flat Lorentzian manifold because G is isomorphic to the stabilizer of the Lorentzian group PO(m+2, 2) of the Lorentz model S m+1,1. We discuss the properties of compact Lorentzian similarity manifolds using developing maps and holonomy representations.
We deal with two classes of mixed metric 3-structures, namely the mixed 3-Sasakian structures and the mixed metric 3-contact structures. First, we study some properties of the curvature of mixed 3-Sasakian structures. Then we prove the identity between the class of mixed 3-Sasakian structures and the class of mixed metric 3-contact structures.
Let be a differentiable manifold with a pseudo-Riemannian metric and a linear symmetric connection . We classify all natural (in the sense of [KMS]) 0-order vector fields and 2-vector fields on generated by and . We get that all natural vector fields are of the form where is the vertical lift of , is the horizontal lift of with respect to , and are smooth real functions defined on . All natural 2-vector fields are of the form where , are smooth real functions defined...
In this paper, we deal with complete linear Weingarten hypersurfaces immersed in the hyperbolic space , that is, complete hypersurfaces of whose mean curvature and normalized scalar curvature satisfy for some , . In this setting, under appropriate restrictions on the mean curvature and on the norm of the traceless part of the second fundamental form, we prove that such a hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or isometric to a hyperbolic cylinder of . Furthermore, a rigidity result...
