ON THE TOPOLOGY,VOLUME,DIAMETER AND GAUSS MAP IMAGE OF SUBMANIFOLDS IN A SPHERE

In this paper, the author uses Gauss map to study the topology, volume and diameter of submanifolds in a sphere. It is proved that if there exist ε, 1≥ε > 0 and a fixed unit simple p-vector a such that the Gauss map g of an n-dimensional complete and connected submanifold M in Sn p satisfies (g, a) ≥ε, then M is diffeomorphic to Sn, and the volume and diameter of M satisfy εnvol(Sn) ≤vol(M) ≤ vol(Sn)/ε and επ ≤diam(M) ≤ π/ε, respectively. The author also characterizes the case where these inequalities become equalities. As an application, a differential sphere theorem for compact submanifolds in a sphere is obtained.     

Singularities of Hyperbolic Gauss Maps

In this paper we adopt the hyperboloid in Minkowski space asthe model of hyperbolic space. We define the hyperbolic Gaussmap and the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrix of a hypersurface inhyperbolic space. The hyperbolic Gauss map has been introducedby Ch. Epstein [J. Reine Angew. Math. 372 (1986) 96–135]in the Poincaré ball model, which is very useful forthe study of constant mean curvature surfaces. However, it isvery hard to perform the calculation because it has an intrinsicform. Here, we give an extrinsic definition and we study thesingularities. In the study of the singularities of the hyperbolicGauss map (indicatrix), we find that the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrixis much easier to calculate. We introduce the notion of hyperbolicGauss–Kronecker curvature whose zero sets correspond tothe singular set of the hyperbolic Gauss map (indicatrix). Wealso develop a local differential geometry of hypersurfacesconcerning their contact with hyperhorospheres. 2000 MathematicalSubject Classification: 53A25, 53A05, 58C27.

Hyperbolic ends with particles and grafting on singular surfaces

We prove that any 3-dimensional hyperbolic end with particles (cone singularities along infinite curves of angles less than π) admits a unique foliation by constant Gauss curvature surfaces. Using a form of duality between hyperbolic ends with particles and convex globally hyperbolic maximal (GHM) de Sitter spacetime with particles, it follows that any 3-dimensional convex GHM de Sitter spacetime with particles also admits a unique foliation by constant Gauss curvature surfaces. We prove that the grafting map from the product of Teichmüller space with the space of measured laminations to the space of complex projective structures is a homeomorphism for surfaces with cone singularities of angles less than π, as well as an analogue when grafting is replaced by “smooth grafting”.

Timelike surfaces of constant mean curvature ±1 in anti-de Sitter 3-space ℍ3 1(−1)

It is shown that timelike surfaces of constant mean curvature ± in anti-de Sitter 3-space ?³ ₁(?1) can be constructed from a pair of Lorentz holomorphic and Lorentz antiholomorphic null curves in ?SL₂? via Bryant type representation formulae. These Bryant type representation formulae are used to investigate an explicit one-to-one correspondence, the so-called Lawson–Guichard correspondence, between timelike surfaces of constant mean curvature ± 1 and timelike minimal surfaces in Minkowski 3-space E ³ ₁. The hyperbolic Gauß map of timelike surfaces in ?³ ₁(?1), which is a close analogue of the classical Gauß map is considered. It is discussed that the hyperbolic Gauß map plays an important role in the study of timelike surfaces of constant mean curvature ± 1 in ?³ ₁(?1). In particular, the relationship between the Lorentz holomorphicity of the hyperbolic Gauß map and timelike surface of constant mean curvature ± 1 in ?³ ₁(?1) is studied.

Laguerre Geometry of Surfaces in R^3

Let f ： M → R3 be an oriented surface with non-degenerate second fundamental form. We denote by H and K its mean curvature and Gauss curvature. Then the Laguerre volume of f, defined by L（f） = f（H2 - K）/KdM, is an invariant under the Laguerre transformations. The critical surfaces of the functional L are called Laguerre minimal surfaces. In this paper we study the Laguerre minimal surfaces in R^3 by using the Laguerre Gauss map. It is known that a generic Laguerre minimal surface has a dual Laguerre minimal surface with the same Gauss map. In this paper we show that any surface which is not Laguerre minimal is uniquely determined by its Laguerre Gauss map. We show also that round spheres are the only compact Laguerre minimal surfaces in R^3. And we give a classification theorem of surfaces in R^3 with vanishing Laguerre form.     

Mean Curvature Flow via Convex Functions on Grassmannian Manifolds

Using the convex functions on Grassmannian manifolds, the authors obtain the interior estimates for the mean curvature flow of higher codimension. Confinable properties of Gauss images under the mean curvature flow have been obtained, which reveal that if the Gauss image of the initial submanifold is contained in a certain sublevel set of the v-function, then all the Gauss images of the submanifolds under the mean curvature flow are also contained in the same sublevel set of the v-function. Under such restrictions, curvature estimates in terms of v-function composed with the Gauss map can be carried out.     

Bifurcation for minimal surface equation in hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Initiated by the work of Uhlenbeck in late 1970s, we study existence, multiplicity and asymptotic behavior for minimal immersions of a closed surface in some hyperbolic three-manifold, with prescribed conformal structure on the surface and second fundamental form of the immersion. We prove several results in these directions, by analyzing the Gauss equation governing the immersion. We determine when existence holds, and obtain unique stable solutions for area minimizing immersions. Furthermore, we find exactly when other (unstable) solutions exist and study how they blow-up. We prove our class of unstable solutions exhibit different blow-up behaviors when the surface is of genus two or greater. We establish similar results for the blow-up behavior of any general family of unstable solutions. This information allows us to consider similar minimal immersion problems when the total extrinsic curvature is also prescribed.

Spacelike submanifolds of codimension two in anti-de Sitter space

In this paper, we study spacelike submanifolds of codimension two in anti-de Sitter space from the viewpoint of Legendrian singularity theory. We introduce the notion of the anti-de Sitter normalized Gauss map which is a generalization of the ordinary notion of Gauss map of hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. We also introduce the AdS-normalized Gauss–Kronecker curvature for a spacelike submanifold of codimention two in anti-de Sitter space. In the local sense, this curvature describes the contact of submanifolds with some model surfaces.

Hyperbolic linear Weingarten surfaces in ℝ<Superscript>3</Superscript>

A hyperbolic linear Weingarten surface in ℝ³ is a surface M whose mean and Gaussian curvatures satisfy the relationship 2aH +bK = c for real numbers a, b, c such that a²+bc < 0. In this work we obtain a representation for such a surface in terms of its Gauss map when, more generally, a, b, c are functions on M. We also study the completeness of such surfaces and describe a procedure to construct complete examples from solutions of the sine-Gordon equation.
