Para-CR Structures of Codimension 2 on Tangent Bundles in Riemann–Finsler Geometry

We determine a 2-codimensional para-CR structure on the slit tangent bundle T0 M of a Finsler manifold（M,F） by imposing a condition regarding the almost paracomplex structure P associated to F when restricted to the structural distribution of a framed para-f-structure.This condition is satisfied when（M,F） is of scalar flag curvature（particularly constant） or if the Riemannian manifold（M,g） is of constant curvature.     

REGULARITY OF HARMONIC MAPS INTO POSITIVELY CURVED MANIFOLDS

Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension m, N a complete Amply connected δ-pinched Riemannian manifold of dimension n. There exists a constant d(n). It is proved that if m≤d(n), then every minimizing map from M into N is smooth in the interior of M. If m=d(n)+1, such a map has at most diserete singular set and in general the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set is at most m-d(n)-1.

Let(M,g) be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n.Denote△f=△-▽f.▽ the weighted Laplacian operator,where f is a smooth real valued function on M.When N is finite and the N-Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor is bounded from below by a constant,we establish local gradient estimates for positive solutions of the following simple Lichnerowicz equation△fu+cu~(-α)=0 on a compact Riemannian manifold,where α is a positive constant and c is a smooth function.     

Harmonic L~p-functions on Complete Riemannian Manifolds

This survey paper concerns some existence theorems of harmonic functions belonging to LP (M), M being a complete Riemannian manifold. It is well known that a function which is analytic and bounded on the whole complex plane must reduce to a constant.This classical result, known as Liouville's theorem, is also true on a higher-dimensional Euclidean spaces. The generalization of this theorem to other Riemannian manifolds is very interesting. Besides its beauty, the proof usally requires sharp estimates which provide deeper understanding of the Laplacian and hence give broad applications to problems in global analysis.The basic problem in this paper is to study how the geometric conditions of a complete Riemannian manifold affect the validity of the Liouville theorem. The paper consists of two parts. Part I describes the results systematically and Part I will be more technical and will contain the detailed proofs of the results given in the first part.     

Variational properties of quadratic curvature functionals

In this paper, we investigate a class of quadratic Riemannian curvature functionals on closed smooth manifold M of dimension n ≥3 on the space of Riemannian metrics on M consisting of metrics with unit volume.We study the stability of these functionals at the metric with constant sectional curvature as its critical point.     

MINIMAL SUBMANIFOLDS IN A RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLD OF QUASI CONSTANT CURVATURE

A Riemannian manifold V~m which admits isometric imbedding into two spaces V~(m+p)ofdifferent constant curvatures is called a manifold of quasi constant curvature.TheRiemannian curvature of V~m is expressible in the formand conversely.In this paper it is proved that if M~n is any compact minimal submanifoldwithout boundary in a Riemannian manifold V~(n+p)of quasi constant curvature,then∫_(M~u)(2-1/p)σ~2-[na+1/2(b-丨b丨)(n+1)]σ+n(n-1)b~2*丨≥0,where σ is the square of the norm of the second fundamental form of M~n When V~(n+p)is amanifold of constant curvature,b=0,the above inequality reduces to that of Simons.

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].     

New geometric flows on Riemannian manifolds and applications to Schrödinger-Airy flows

In this paper,a class of new geometric flows on a complete Riemannian manifold is defined. The new flow is related to the generalized(third order) Landau-Lifshitz equation. On the other hand it could be thought of as a special case of the Schr¨odinger-Airy flow when the target manifold is a K¨ahler manifold with constant holomorphic sectional curvature. We show the local existence of the new flow on a complete Riemannian manifold with some assumptions on Ricci tensor. Moreover,if the target manifolds are Einstein or some certain type of locally symmetric spaces,the global results are obtained.     

Canonical Foliations of Certain Classes of Almost Contact Metric Structures

The purpose of this paper is to study the canonical foliations of an almost cosymplectic or almost Kenmotsu manifold M in a unified way. We prove that the canonical foliation F defined by the contact distribution is Riemannian and tangentially almost Kahler of codimension 1 and that F is tangentially Kahler if the manifold M is normal. Furthermore, we show that a semi-invariant submanifold N of such a manifold M admits a canonical foliation FN which is defined by the antiinvariant distribution and a canonical cohomology class c（N） generated by a transversal volume form for FN. In addition, we investigate the conditions when the even-dimensional cohomology classes of N are non-trivial. Finally, we compute the Godbillon Vey class for FN.

Some Hypersurfaces with Constant Mean Curvature in a Conformally Flat Riemannian Manifold

§1. T. Otsuki [1] studied the minimal hypersurface V~n of a Riemannian manifold S~(n 1) of constant curvature if the number of the distinct principal normal curvatures is two and the multiplicities of them are at least two. He proved that V~n is locally the Riemannian prodruct S~(?)×S~(?) of two Riemannian manifolds S~(?) and S~(?) of constant curvature, where ι_1 and ι_2 are these multiplicities, respectively. In the present paper S~m denotes an m-dimensional Riemannian manifold of

The Riemannian Manifolds with Boundary and Large Symmetry

Seventy years ago, Myers and Steenrod showed that the isometry group of a Riemannian manifold without boundary has a structure of Lie group. In 2007, Bagaev and Zhukova proved the same result for a Riemannian orbifold. In this paper, the authors first show that the isometry group of a Riemannian manifold M with boundary has dimension at most 1/2 dim M（dim M - 1）. Then such Riemannian manifolds with boundary that their isometry groups attain the preceding maximal dimension are completely classified.

ON THE SECTIONAL CURVATURE OF A RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLD

In this paper the author establishes the following1.If M~n(n≥3)is a connected Riemannian manifold,then the sectional curvatureK(p),where p is any plane in T~x(M),is a function of at most n(n-1)/2 variables.Moreprecisely,K(p)depends on at most n(n-1)/2 parameters of group SO(n).2.Lot M~n(n≥3)be a connected Riemannian manifold.If there exists a point x ∈ Msuch that the sectional curvature K(p)is independent of the plane p∈T_x(M),then M is aspace of constant curvature.This latter improves a well-known theorem of F.Schur.

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.
