On hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in space forms

We investigate the immersed hypersurfaces in space forms ℕ ^n + 1(c), n ≥ 4 with two distinct non-simple principal curvatures without the assumption that the (high order) mean curvature is constant. We prove that any immersed hypersurface in space forms with two distinct non-simple principal curvatures is locally conformal to the Riemannian product of two constant curved manifolds. We also obtain some characterizations for the Clifford hypersurfaces in terms of the trace free part of the second fundamental form.

Möbius Isoparametric Hypersurfaces in S n+1 with Two Distinct Principal Curvatures

A hypersurface x : M → S ⁿ⁺¹ without umbilic point is called a Möbius isoparametric hypersurface if its Möbius form Φ = ?ρ ^?2∑ _i (e _i (H) + ∑ _j (h _ij ?Hδ _ij )e _j (log ρ))θ _i vanishes and its Möbius shape operator $ {\Bbb {S}}A hypersurface x : M → S ^{n +1} without umbilic point is called a M?bius isoparametric hypersurface if its M?bius form Φ = −ρ⁻²∑ _i (e _i (H) + ∑ _j (h _ij −Hδ _ij )e _j (log ρ))θ _i vanishes and its M?bius shape operator ? = ρ⁻¹(S−Hid) has constant eigenvalues. Here {e _i } is a local orthonormal basis for I = dx·dx with dual basis {θ _i }, II = ∑ _ij h _ij θ _i ⊗θ _i is the second fundamental form, and S is the shape operator of x. It is clear that any conformal image of a (Euclidean) isoparametric hypersurface in S ^{n +1} is a M?bius isoparametric hypersurface, but the converse is not true. In this paper we classify all M?bius isoparametric hypersurfaces in S ^{n +1} with two distinct principal curvatures up to M?bius transformations. By using a theorem of Thorbergsson [1] we also show that the number of distinct principal curvatures of a compact M?bius isoparametric hypersurface embedded in S ^{n +1} can take only the values 2, 3, 4, 6.

Hypersurfaces of the hyperbolic space with constant scalar curvature

We classify hypersurfaces of the hyperbolic space ?ⁿ⁺¹(c) with constant scalar curvature and with two distinct principal curvatures. Moreover, we prove that if Mⁿ is a complete hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature n(n ? 1) R and with two distinct principal curvatures such that the multiplicity of one of the principal curvatures is n? 1, then R ≥ c. Additionally, we prove two rigidity theorems for such hypersurfaces.     

On Lagrangian submanifolds in complex hyperquadrics and isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres

The n-dimensional complex hyperquadric is a compact complex algebraic hypersurface defined by the quadratic equation in the (n+1)-dimensional complex projective space, which is isometric to the real Grassmann manifold of oriented 2-planes and is a compact Hermitian symmetric space of rank 2. In this paper, we study geometry of compact Lagrangian submanifolds in complex hyperquadrics from the viewpoint of the theory of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres. From this viewpoint we provide a classification theorem of compact homogeneous Lagrangian submanifolds in complex hyperquadrics by using the moment map technique. Moreover we determine the Hamiltonian stability of compact minimal Lagrangian submanifolds embedded in complex hyperquadrics which are obtained as Gauss images of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres with g(=  1, 2, 3) distinct principal curvatures.

Dupin hypersurfaces with four principal Curvatures,II

If M is an isoparametric hypersurface in a sphere S ⁿ with four distinct principal curvatures, then the principal curvatures κ₁, . . . , κ₄ can be ordered so that their multiplicities satisfy m ₁ = m ₂ and m ₃ = m ₄, and the cross-ratio r of the principal curvatures (the Lie curvature) equals −1. In this paper, we prove that if M is an irreducible connected proper Dupin hypersurface in R ⁿ (or S ⁿ ) with four distinct principal curvatures with multiplicities m ₁ = m ₂ ≥ 1 and m ₃ = m ₄ = 1, and constant Lie curvature r = −1, then M is equivalent by Lie sphere transformation to an isoparametric hypersurface in a sphere. This result remains true if the assumption of irreducibility is replaced by compactness and r is merely assumed to be constant.      

Curvature surfaces of Hopf hypersurfaces in complex space forms

We study the principal curvatures of a Hopf hypersurfaceM in ℂP ⁿ or ℂH ⁿ . The respective eigenspaces of the shape operator often turn out to induce totally real foliations ofM, whose leaves are spherical in the ambient space. Finally we classify the Hopf hypersurfaces with three distinct principal curvatures satisfying a certain non-degeneracy condition.     

A note on isoparametric generalized quadrangles

We generalize a result of Kramer, see [7, 10.7 and 10.10], on generalized quadrangles associated with isoparametric hypersurfaces of Clifford type to Tits buildings of type C₂ derived from arbitrary isoparametric hypersurfaces with four distinct principal curvatures in spheres: two distinct points p and q of a generalized quadrangle associated with an isoparametric hypersurface in the unit sphere of a Euclidean vector space can be joined by a line K if and only if (p − q)/||p − q|| is a line. This line is orthogonal to K. Dually, two distinct lines L and K intersect if and only if (L − K)/||L − K|| is point. Received: 14 October 2005     

On spacelike hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in the anti-de Sitter space

In this paper, we classify complete spacelike hypersurfaces in the anti-de Sitter space (n?3) with constant scalar curvature and with two principal curvatures. Moreover, we prove that if Mn is a complete spacelike hypersurface with constant scalar curvature n(n−1)R and with two distinct principal curvatures such that the multiplicity of one of the principal curvatures is n−1, then R<(n−2)c/n. Additionally, we also obtain several rigidity theorems for such hypersurfaces.     

ISOPARAMETRIC HYPERSURFACES IN CP~n WITH CONSTANT PRINCIPAL CURVATURES

This paper proves that the number of distinct principal curvatures of a realisoparametric hypersurface in CP~n with constant principal curvatures can be only 2, 3 or 5.The prehnage of such hypersurface under the Hopf fibration is an isoparametrichypersarface in S~(2n+l) with 2 or 4 distinct principal curvatures. For real isoparametrichypersurfaces in CP~n with 5 distinct constant principal curvatures a local structuretheorem is given.     

A pinching theorem for minimal hypersurfaces in a sphere

We study compact minimal hypersurfaces Mⁿ in Sⁿ⁺¹S^{n+1} with two distinct principal curvatures and prove that if the squared norm S of the second fundamental form of Mⁿ satisfies S \geqq nS \geqq n, then S o nS \equiv n and Mⁿ is a minimal Clifford torus.     

On submanifolds whose tubular hypersurfaces have constant higher order mean curvatures

Motivated by the theory of isoparametric hypersurfaces,we study submanifolds whose tubular hypersurfaces have some constant higher order mean curvatures.Here a k-th order mean curvature Q_k~v(k ≥ 1) of a submanifold M~n-is defined as the k-th power sum of the principal curvatures,or equivalently,of the shape operator with respect to the unit normal vector v.We show that if all nearby tubular hypersurfaces of M have some constant higher order mean curvatures,then the submanifold M itself has some constant higher order mean curvatures Q_k~v independent of the choice of v.Many identities involving higher order mean curvatures and Jacobi operators on such submanifolds are also obtained.In particular,we generalize several classical results in isoparametric theory given by E.Cartan,K.Nomizu,H.F.Miinzner,Q.M.Wang,et al.As an application,we finally get a geometrical filtration for the focal submanifolds of isoparametric functions on a complete Riemannian manifold.     

Anisotropic isoparametric hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces

In this paper, by Nomizu’s method and some technical treatment of the asymmetry of the F-Weingarten operator, we obtain a classification of complete anisotropic isoparametric hypersurfaces, i.e., hypersurfaces with constant anisotropic principal curvatures, in Euclidean spaces, which is a generalization of the classical case for isoparametric hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces. On the other hand, by an example of local anisotropic isoparametric surface constructed by B. Palmer, we find that in general anisotropic isoparametric hypersurfaces have both local and global aspects as in the theory of proper Dupin hypersurfaces, which differs from classical isoparametric hypersurfaces.

By investigating hypersurfaces M ⁿ in the unit sphere S ⁿ⁺¹(1) with constant mean curvature and with two distinct principal curvatures, we give a characterization of the torus S ¹(a) × S^n-1(?{1-a²})S^{n-1}(\sqrt{1-a^2}) , where a²=\frac2+nH²±?{n²H⁴+4(n-1)H²}2n(1+H²)a^2=\frac{2+nH^2\pm\sqrt{n^2H^4+4(n-1)H^2}}{2n(1+H^2)} . We extend recent results of Hasanis et al. [5] and Otsuki [10].
