On stable currents in positively pinched curved hypersurfaces

Jintang Li (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

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 K M of M satisfies the following pinching condition: c + δ < K M c + 1 , 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.

On submanifolds and quotients of Poisson and Jacobi manifolds

Charles-Michel Marle (2000)

Banach Center Publications

We obtain conditions under which a submanifold of a Poisson manifold has an induced Poisson structure, which encompass both the Poisson submanifolds of A. Weinstein [21] and the Poisson structures on the phase space of a mechanical system with kinematic constraints of Van der Schaft and Maschke [20]. Generalizations of these results for submanifolds of a Jacobi manifold are briefly sketched.

On superminimal surfaces

Thomas Friedrich (1997)

Archivum Mathematicum

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...

On the approximation of functions on a Hodge manifold

Alessandro Ghigi (2012)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

If ( M , ω ) is a Hodge manifold and f C ( M , ) we construct a canonical sequence of functions f N such that f N f in the C topology. These functions have a simple geometric interpretation in terms of the moment map and they are real algebraic, in the sense that they are regular functions when M is regarded as a real algebraic variety. The definition of f N is inspired by Berezin-Toeplitz quantization and by ideas of Donaldson. The proof follows quickly from known results of Fine, Liu and Ma.
