Möbius geometry of three-dimensional Wintgen ideal submanifolds in \mathbb{S}^5

Wintgen ideal submanifolds in space forms are those ones attaining equality at every point in the socalled DDVV inequality which relates the scalar curvature,the mean curvature and the normal scalar curvature.This property is conformal invariant;hence we study them in the framework of Mbius geometry,and restrict to three-dimensional Wintgen ideal submanifolds in S5.In particular,we give Mbius characterizations for minimal ones among them,which are also known as(3-dimensional)austere submanifolds(in 5-dimensional space forms).     

Ricci Curvature of Certain Submanifolds in Kenmotsu Space Forms

In this paper, we obtain some sharp inequalities between the Ricci cur- vature and the squared mean curvature for bi-slant and semi-slant submanifolds in Kenmotsu space forms. Estimates of the scalar curvature and the k-Ricci curvature, in terms of the squared mean curvature, are also proved respectively.     

A complete classification of Blaschke parallel submanifolds with vanishing Mbius form

The Blaschke tensor and the Mbius form are two of the fundamental invariants in the Mobius geometry of submanifolds;an umbilic-free immersed submanifold in real space forms is called Blaschke parallel if its Blaschke tensor is parallel.We prove a theorem which,together with the known classification result for Mobius isotropic submanifolds,successfully establishes a complete classification of the Blaschke parallel submanifolds in S~n with vanishing Mobius form.Before doing so,a broad class of new examples of general codimensions is explicitly constructed.

By using the methods introduced by Chen[Chen Bang-yen,A series of Ka¨hlerian invarianrts and their applications to Khlerian geometry,Beitrge Algebra Geom,2001,42（1）：165-178],we establish some inequalities for invariant submanifolds in a Sasakian space form involving totally real sectional curvature and the scalar curvature.Moreover,we consider the case of equalities.     

常曲率空间中伪脐2-调和子流形(英文)

The conjecture [1] asserts that any biharmonic submanifold in sphere has constant mean curvature. In this paper, we first prove that this conjecture is true for pseudo-umbilical biharmonic submanifolds M n in constant curvature spaces S n+p (c)(c > 0), generalizing the result in [1]. Secondly, some sufficient conditions for pseudo-umbilical proper biharmonic submanifolds M n to be totally umbilical ones are obtained.     

余辛空间形式中的子流形不等式

For submanifolds in a cosymplectic space form tangent to the structure vector field ξ, two important inequalities with Ricci curvature, scalar curvature and the squared mean curvature are obtained. These results are also applied to get corresponding consequences for anti-invariant submanifolds.     

Variational formulas of higher order mean curvatures

In this paper,we establish the first variational formula and its Euler-Lagrange equation for the total 2p-th mean curvature functional M2p of a submanifold M n in a general Riemannian manifold N n+m for p = 0,1,...,[n 2 ].As an example,we prove that closed complex submanifolds in complex projective spaces are critical points of the functional M2p,called relatively 2p-minimal submanifolds,for all p.At last,we discuss the relations between relatively 2p-minimal submanifolds and austere submanifolds in real space forms,as well as a special variational problem.     

Some pinching theorems for minimal submanifolds in \mathbb{S}^m (1) \times \mathbb{R}

Let Mn be an n-dimensional compact minimal submanifolds in Sm(1)×R.We prove two pinching theorems by the Ricci curvature and the sectional curvature pinching conditions respectively.In fact,we characterize the Clifford tori and Veronese submanifolds by our pinching conditions respectively.     

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.     

Spacelike Willmore surfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentzian space forms

Spacelike Willmore surfaces in 4-dimensional Lorentzian space forms, a topic in Lorentzian conformal geometry which parallels the theory of Willmore surfaces in S4, are studied in this paper. We define two kinds of transforms for such a surface, which produce the so-called left/right polar surfaces and the adjoint surfaces. These new surfaces are again conformal Willmore surfaces. For them the interesting duality theorem holds. As an application spacelike Willmore 2-spheres are classified. Finally we construct a family of homogeneous spacelike Willmore tori.     

SUBMANIFOLDS WITH PARALLEL MEAN CURVATURE AND GAUSS MAPS

The aim of this paper is to study the relations between submanifolds with parallel mean curvature and their Gauss maps, and in virtue of them we obtain three main theorems. They show some geometrical restrictions to a submanifold of Euclidean space E~n with parallel mean curvature.     

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.     

AN ESTIMATE FOR THE MEAN CURVATURE OF SUBMANIFOLDS CONTAINED IN A HOROBALL

We obtain the Omori-Yau maximum principle on complete properly immersed submanifolds with the mean curvature satisfying certain condition in complete Riemannian manifolds whose radial sectional curvature satisfies some decay condition, which generalizes our previous results in [17]. Using this generalized maximum principle, we give an estimate on the mean curvature of properly immersed submanifolds in H^n × R^e with the image under the projection on H^n contained in a horoball and the corresponding situation in hyperbolic space. We also give other applications of the generalized maximum principle.     

拟定曲率空间上的几个定理

The present paper is devoted to determining the metric g for an n-dimension-al (n≥4) Riemannian manifold (M, g) of quasi-constant curvature [1]. By the way, we have identified the space of quasi-constant curvature with the κ-special conformally flat space of K.Yano & B.Y.Chen [8]. Based upon the results so obtained, we have completely determined the canonical metric for such a space to admit the relevant field X as geodesic field, and the geometric structure for (M, g) to be a recurrent space of quasi-constant curvature. Also we have examined the validity of our results just obtained for a 3-dimensional conformally flat space of quasi-constant cvrvature. Besides, we have deduced some global properties of a complete manifold of quasi-constant curvature, which may be useful in applications.

Möbius Homogeneous Hypersurfaces with Three Distinct Principal Curvatures in Sn+1

Let x : M~n→ S~(n+1) be an immersed hypersurface in the(n + 1)-dimensional sphere S~(n+1). If, for any points p, q ∈ Mn, there exists a Mbius transformation φ :S~(n+1)→ S~(n+1) such that φox(Mn~) = x(M~n) and φ ox(p) = x(q), then the hypersurface is called a Mbius homogeneous hypersurface. In this paper, the Mbius homogeneous hypersurfaces with three distinct principal curvatures are classified completely up to a Mbius transformation.     

On the variation of a metric and its application

Some of the variation formulas of a metric were derived in the literatures by using the local coordinates system, In this paper, We give the first and the second variation formulas of the Riemannian curvature tensor, Ricci curvature tensor and scalar curvature of a metric by using the moving frame method. We establish a relation between the variation of the volume of a metric and that of a submanifold. We find that the latter is a consequence of the former. Finally we give an application of these formulas to the variations of heat invariants. We prove that a conformally flat metric g is a critical point of the third heat invariant functional for a compact 4-dimensional manifold M, then （M, g） is either scalar flat or a space form.     

Curvature estimate of steepest descents of 2-dimensional maximal space-like hyper surfaces on space forms

For the maximal space-like hypersurface defined on 2-dimensional space forms,based on the regularity and the strict convexity of the level sets,the steepest descents are well defined.In this paper,we come to estimate the curvature of its steepest descents by deriving a differential equality.
