On minimal hypersurfaces of nonnegatively Ricci curved manifolds.
There is a class of metrics on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold (oriented , or non-oriented, respectively), which are ’naturally constructed’ from the base metric [Kow-Sek1]. We call them “-natural metrics" on . To our knowledge, the geometric properties of these general metrics have not been studied yet. In this paper, generalizing a process of Musso-Tricerri (cf. [Mus-Tri]) of finding Riemannian metrics on from some quadratic forms on to find metrics (not necessary Riemannian)...
This survey article presents certain results concerning natural left invariant para-Hermitian structures on twisted (especially, semidirect) products of Lie groups.
On any real semisimple Lie group we consider a one-parameter family of left-invariant naturally reductive metrics. Their geodesic flow in terms of Killing curves, the Levi Civita connection and the main curvature properties are explicitly computed. Furthermore we present a group theoretical revisitation of a classical realization of all simply connected 3-dimensional manifolds with a transitive group of isometries due to L. Bianchi and É. Cartan. As a consequence one obtains a characterization of...
Elastica and inextensible flows of curves play an important role in practical applications. In this paper, we construct a new characterization of inextensible flows by using elastica in space. The inextensible flow is completely determined for any space-like curve in de Sitter space [...] S 1 3 . Finally, we give some characterizations for curvatures of a space-like curve in de Sitter space [...] S 1 3 .
A fundamental question raised by M. Kac in 1966 is: Must two isospectral planar domains necessarily be isometric? Following a long history of investigation C. Gordon, D. L. Webb and S. Wolpert in 1992 finally proved that the answer is no. By using the idea of transposition maps one can construct a wide class of planar domains with piecewise continuous boundaries which are isospectral but non-isometric. In this note we study the Kac question in relation to domains with fractal boundaries and by following...

Many authors have studied the geometry of submanifolds of Kaehlerian and Sasakian manifolds. On the other hand, David E. Blair has initiated the study of S-manifolds, which reduce, in particular cases, to Sasakian manifolds ([1, 2]). I. Mihai ([8]) and L. Ornea ([9]) have investigated CR-submanifolds of S-manifolds. The purpose of the present paper is to study a special kind of such submanifolds, namely the normal CR-submanifolds. In Sections 1 and 2, we review basic formulas and definitions for...
