Riemannian submersions, δ-invariants, and optimal inequality

In this study, we establish a sharp relation between δ-invariants and Riemannian submersions with totally geodesic fibers. By using this relationship, we establish an optimal inequality involving δ-invariants for submanifolds of the complex projective space CP ^m (4) via Hopf’s fibration ${\pi:S^{2m+1}\to CP^{m}(4)}$ . Moreover, we completely classify submanifolds of complex projective space which satisfy the equality case of the inequality.     

The scalar curvature of CR submanifolds of maximal CR dimension of complex projective space

We treat n-dimensional compact minimal submanifolds of complex projective space when the maximal holomorphic tangent subspace is (n − 1)-dimensional and we give a sufficient condition for such submanifolds to be tubes over totally geodesic complex subspaces.

Submanifolds of the Cayley projective plane with bounded second fundamental form

We consider totally complex submanifolds of the Cayley projective plane with estimates on the length squared of the second fundamental form. We determine those bounds for which the second fundamental form is parallel and for which the submanifold is totally geodesic. The case of totally real submanifolds is also included.     

Hilbert forms for a Finsler metrizable projective class of sprays

The projective Finsler metrizability problem deals with the question whether a projective-equivalence class of sprays is the geodesic class of a (locally- or globally-defined) Finsler function. In this paper we use Hilbert-type forms to state a number of different ways of specifying necessary and sufficient conditions for this to be the case, and we show that they are equivalent. We also address several related issues of interest including path spaces, Jacobi fields, totally-geodesic submanifolds of a spray space, and the equivalence of path geometries and projective-equivalence classes of sprays.     

On the spectral geometry for the Jacobi operators of harmonic maps into a quaternionic projective space

We characterize both invariant and totally real immersions into the quaternionic projective space by the spectra of the Jacobi operator. Also, we study spectral characterization of harmonic submersions when the target manifold is the quaternionic projective space.     

Hyper-Hermitian Quaternionic Kähler Manifolds

We call a quaternionic Kähler manifold with nonzero scalar curvature, whosequaternionic structure is trivialized by a hypercomplex structure, ahyper-Hermitian quaternionic Kähler manifold. We prove that every locallysymmetric hyper-Hermitian quaternionic Kähler manifold is locally isometricto the quaternionic projective space or to the quaternionic hyperbolic space.We describe locally the hyper-Hermitian quaternionic Kähler manifolds withclosed Lee form and show that the only complete simply connected suchmanifold is the quaternionic hyperbolic space.     

Parametrizing Shimura subvarieties of {\mathrm{A}_1} Shimura varieties and related geometric problems

This paper gives a complete parametrization of the commensurability classes of totally geodesic subspaces of irreducible arithmetic quotients of \({X_{a, b} = (\mathbf{H}^2)^a\times (\mathbf{H}^3)^b}\). A special case describes all Shimura subvarieties of type \({\mathrm{A}_1}\) Shimura varieties. We produce, for any \({n\geq 1}\), examples of manifolds/Shimura varieties with precisely n commensurability classes of totally geodesic submanifolds/Shimura subvarieties. This is in stark contrast with the previously studied cases of arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds and quaternionic Shimura surfaces, where the presence of one commensurability class of geodesic submanifolds implies the existence of infinitely many classes.     

Real Hypersurfaces in Quaternionic Space Forms Satyisfying Axioms of Planes

A Riemannian manifold satisfies the axiom of 2-planes if at each point, there are suficiently many totally geodesic surfaces passing through that point. Real hypersurfaces in quaternionic space forms admit nice families of tangent planes, namely, totally real, half-quaternionic and quaternionic. Several definitions of axiom of planes arise naturally when we consider such families of tangent planes. We are able to classify real hypersurfaces in quaternionic space forms satisfying these definitions.     

Totally geodesic submanifolds in compact Riemannian symmetric spaces and their stability

In this paper, we determine a large class of totally geodesic submanifolds of a compact Riemannian symmetric space. The stability of these submanifolds in their ambient space is also determined.

Submanifolds with totally umbilical Gauss image

The submanifolds whose Gauss images are totally umbilical submanifolds of the Grassmann manifold are under consideration. The main result is the following classification theorem: if the Gauss image of a submanifold F in a Euclidean space is totally umbilical then either the Gauss image is totally geodesic, or F is the surface in E ⁴ of the special structure. Submanifolds in a Euclidean space with totally geodesic Gauss image were classified earlier.     

On the Mean Exit Time for Compact Symmetric Spaces

Given a compact symmetric space, M, we obtain the mean exit time function from a principal orbit, for a Brownian particle starting and moving in a generalized ball whose boundary is the principal orbit. We also obtain the mean exit time flmction of a tube of radius r around special totally geodesic submanifolds P of M. Finally we give a comparison result for the mean exit time function of tubes around submanifolds in Riemannian manifolds, using these totally geodesic submanifolds in compact symmetric spaces as a model.     

Parallel submanifolds of complex projective space and their normal holonomy

The object of this article is to compute the holonomy group of the normal connection of complex parallel submanifolds of the complex projective space. We also give a new proof of the classification of complex parallel submanifolds by using a normal holonomy approach. Indeed, we explain how these submanifolds can be regarded as the unique complex orbits of the (projectivized) isotropy representation of an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space. Moreover, we show how these important submanifolds are related to other areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. Finally, we state a conjecture about the normal holonomy group of a complete and full complex submanifold of the complex projective space.

Stationary Curvatures of Two-Dimensional Totally Geodesic Submanifolds in the Grassmannian of Bivectors

An infinitesimal criterion indicating when a two-dimensional submanifold of a Riemannian symmetric space is totally geodesic is given. As an application, the classification of two-dimensional totally geodesic submanifolds of the Grassmannian of bivectors is given in a new way, and it is proved that the sectional curvature takes stationary values on tangent spaces of such submanifolds. Bibliography: 9 titles.     

Some remarks on pseudo-umbilical totally real submanifolds in a complex projective space

This paper studies the relationship between the pseudo-umbilical totally real submanifolds and the minimal totally real submanifolds in a complex projective space. Two theo- rems which claim that some types of pseudo-umbilical totally real submanifolds must be minimal submanifolds are proved.

On special submanifolds of the Page space

In this paper, we study some classes of submanifolds of codimension one and two in the Page space. These submanifolds are totally geodesic. We also compute their curvature and show that some of them are constant curvature spaces. Finally, we give information on how the Page space is related to some other metrics on the same underlying smooth manifold.     

Ideal CR submanifolds in non-flat complex space forms

An explicit representation for ideal CR submanifolds of a complex hyperbolic space has been derived in T. Sasahara (2002). We simplify and reformulate the representation in terms of certain Kähler submanifolds. In addition, we investigate the almost contact metric structure of ideal CR submanifolds in a complex hyperbolic space. Moreover, we obtain a codimension reduction theorem for ideal CR submanifolds in a complex projective space.
