Rigidity of closed submanifolds in a locally symmetric Riemannian manifold

Let M~n(n ≥ 4) be an oriented closed submanifold with parallel mean curvature in an(n + p)-dimensional locally symmetric Riemannian manifold N~(n+p). We prove that if the sectional curvature of N is positively pinched in [δ, 1], and the Ricci curvature of M satisfies a pinching condition, then M is either a totally umbilical submanifold, or δ = 1, and N is of constant curvature. This result generalizes the geometric rigidity theorem due to Xu and Gu[15].     

空间形式中具常数量曲率的子流形的内蕴刚性

Under the assumption that the normalized mean curvature vector is parallel in the normal bundle, by using the generalized ChengYau＇s self-adjoint differential operator, here we obtain some rigidity results for compact submanifolds with constant scalar curvature and higher codimension in the space forms.     

An optimal rigidity theorem for complete submanifolds in a sphere

It is proved that if M^n is an n-dimensional complete submanifold with parallel mean curvature vector and flat normal bundle in S^n＋p（1）, and if supM S 〈 α（n, H）, where α（n,H）=n＋n^3/2（n-1）H^2-n（n-2）/n（n-1）√n^2H^4＋4（n-1）H^2,then M^n must be the totally urnbilical sphere S^n（1/√1＋H^2）.An example to show that the pinching constant α（n, H） appears optimal is given.     

Geometric and topological rigidity for compact submanifolds of odd dimension

We investigate rigidity problems for odd-dimensional compact submanifolds.We show that if Mn(n 5)is an odd-dimensional compact submanifold with parallel mean curvature in Sn+p,and if RicM(n-2-1n)(1+H2)and Hδn,whereδn is an explicit positive constant depending only on n,then M is a totally umbilical sphere.Here H is the mean curvature of M.Moreover,we prove that if Mn(n 5)is an odd-dimensional compact submanifold in the space form Fn+p(c)with c 0,and if RicM(n-2-εn)(c+H2),whereεn is an explicit positive constant depending only on n,then M is homeomorphic to a sphere.     

ON CURVATURE PINCHING FOR MINIMAL AND KAEHLER SUBMANIFOLDS WITH ISOTROPIC SECOND FUNDAMENTAL FORM

An isometrically immersed submanifold is said to have isotropic second fundamental form if the length of the second fundamental form related ito any normal vector is the same one. In this note some curvature pinching theorems for compact minimal (resp. Kaehler) submanifolds in S~(n+P)(c) (resp. CP~(n+P)(c)) with isotropic second fundamental form are given.     

Generalized Ejiri's Rigidity Theorem for Submanifolds in Pinched Manifolds(In memory of Professor Chaohao Gu on his 90th birthday)

Let M~n(n ≥ 4) be an oriented compact submanifold with parallel mean curvature in an(n + p)-dimensional complete simply connected Riemannian manifold N~(n+p).Then there exists a constant δ(n, p) ∈(0, 1) such that if the sectional curvature of N satisfies■ , and if M has a lower bound for Ricci curvature and an upper bound for scalar curvature, then N is isometric to S~(n+p). Moreover, M is either a totally umbilic sphere■ , a Clifford hypersurface S~m■ in the totally umbilic sphere ■, or■ . This is a generalization of Ejiri's rigidity theorem.

SUBMANIFOLDS OF A HIGHER DIMENSIONAL SPHERE

Let M be an m-dimensional manifold immersed in S~(m+k)(r).Then △X=μH-(m/r~2)X,where X is the position vector of M and H is a unit normal vector field which is orthogonalto X everywhere.If M is a compact connected manifold with parallel mean curvature vector field ξimmersed inS~(m+k)(r),and the sectional curvature of M is not less than (1/2)((1/r~2)+|ξ|~2),thenM is a small sphere.For a compact connected hypersurface M in S~(m+1)(r),if the sectional curvature is non-nesative and the scalar curvature is proportional to the mean curvature everywhere,then M isa totally umbilical hypersurface or the multiplication of two totally umbilical submanifolds.     

A RIGIDITY THEOREM FOR NON-NEGATIVELY IMMERSED SUBMANIFOLDS

The paper is to generalize the rigidity theorem that the special Weingarten surface isthe sphere to the case of submanifolds.It is proved that a non-negatively immersedcompact submaifnold in space form of constant curvature is a Riemannian product ofseveral totally umbilical submanifolds if the mean curvature and the scalar curvature ofthe submanifold satisfy a certain function relation.

On Stability of Cones in <Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>+1</Superscript> with Zero Scalar Curvature

In this work we generalize the case of scalar curvature zero the results of Simmons (Ann. Math. 88 (1968), 62–105) for minimal cones in Rⁿ⁺¹. If Mⁿ⁻¹ is a compact hypersurface of the sphere Sⁿ(1) we represent by C(M)ε the truncated cone based on M with center at the origin. It is easy to see that M has zero scalar curvature if and only if the cone base on M also has zero scalar curvature. Hounie and Leite (J. Differential Geom. 41 (1995), 247–258) recently gave the conditions for the ellipticity of the partial differential equation of the scalar curvature. To show that, we have to assume n ⩾ 4 and the three-curvature of M to be different from zero. For such cones, we prove that, for n ≤slant 7 there is an ε for which the truncate cone C(M)_ε is not stable. We also show that for n ⩾ 8 there exist compact, orientable hypersurfaces Mⁿ⁻¹ of the sphere with zero scalar curvature and S₃ different from zero, for which all truncated cones based on M are stable.

Scalar curvature of <Emphasis Type="Italic">QR</Emphasis>-submanifolds with maximal <Emphasis Type="Italic">QR</Emphasis>-dimension in a quaternionic projective space

In this paper we derive an integral formula on an n-dimensional, compact, minimal QR-submanifoldM of (p−1) QR-dimension immersed in a quaternionic projective space QP ^(n+p)/4. Using this integral formula, we give a sufficient condition concerning with the scalar curvature of M in order that such a submanifold M is to be a tube over a quaternionic projective space.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">r</Emphasis>-Minimal submanifolds in space forms

Let be an n-dimensional compact, possibly with boundary, submanifold in an (n + p)-dimensional space form R ^n+p (c). Assume that r is even and , in this paper we introduce rth mean curvature function S _r and (r + 1)-th mean curvature vector field . We call M to be an r-minimal submanifold if on M, we note that the concept of 0-minimal submanifold is the concept of minimal submanifold. In this paper, we define a functional of , by calculation of the first variational formula of J _r we show that x is a critical point of J _r if and only if x is r-minimal. Besides, we give many examples of r-minimal submanifolds in space forms. We calculate the second variational formula of J _r and prove that there exists no compact without boundary stable r-minimal submanifold with in the unit sphere S ^n+p . When r = 0, noting S ₀ = 1, our result reduces to Simons’ result: there exists no compact without boundary stable minimal submanifold in the unit sphere S ^n+p .      

<Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis><Superscript>2</Superscript>-harmonic forms and stable hypersurfaces in space forms

We prove that a complete noncompact orientable stable minimal hypersurface in \mathbbSⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{S}^{n+1}} (n ≤ 4) admits no nontrivial L ²-harmonic forms. We also obtain that a complete noncompact strongly stable hypersurface with constant mean curvature in \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{R}^{n+1}} or \mathbbSⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{S}^{n+1}} (n ≤ 4) admits no nontrivial L ²-harmonic forms. These results are generalized versions of Tanno’s result on stable minimal hypersurfaces in \mathbbRⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb{R}^{n+1}}.     

Spherical submanifolds in a Euclidean space

In this paper, we are interested in extending the study of spherical curves in R ³ to the submanifolds in the Euclidean space R ^n+p . More precisely, we are interested in obtaining conditions under which an n-dimensional compact submanifold M of a Euclidean space R ^n+p lies on the hypersphere S ^n+p−1(c) (standardly imbedded sphere in R ^n+p of constant curvature c). As a by-product we also get an estimate on the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian operator Δ of the submanifold (cf. Theorem 3.5) as well as a characterization for an n-dimensional sphere S ⁿ (c) (cf. Theorem 4.1).
