Weak helix submanifolds of euclidean spaces

Let M⊂ℝ ⁿ be a submanifold of a euclidean space. A vector d∈ℝ ⁿ is called a helix direction of M if the angle between d and any tangent space T _p M is constant. Let ℋ(M) be the set of helix directions of M. If the set ℋ(M) contains r linearly independent vectors we say that M is a weak r-helix. We say that M is a strong r-helix if ℋ(M) is a r-dimensional linear subspace of ℝ ⁿ . For curves and hypersurfaces both definitions agree. The object of this article is to show that these definitions are not equivalent. Namely, we construct (non strong) weak 2-helix surfaces of ℝ⁴.

Infinitesimally homogeneous submanifolds of euclidean spaces

For a class of submanifolds of ^N, the infinitesimally homogeneous ones, the second fundamental form and itss-times iterated derivativessk+1 at any fixed point determine the immersion uniquely. The integerk>0 will be called the extrinsic Singer invariant. Any infinitesimally homogeneous submanifoldM (which is not necessarily complete) is an open part of a globally homogeneous (complete) submanifold. Indeed, the infinitesimal data at any pointp, determine, canonically, a Lie subgroupG of the isometry group of ^N , whose orbit atp is a complete submanifold that extendsM.

Austere and arid properties for PF submanifolds in Hilbert spaces

Austere submanifolds and arid submanifolds constitute respectively two different classes of minimal submanifolds in finite dimensional Riemannian manifolds. In this paper we introduce the concepts of these submanifolds into a class of proper Fredholm (PF) submanifolds in Hilbert spaces, discuss their relation and show examples of infinite dimensional austere PF submanifolds and arid PF submanifolds in Hilbert spaces. We also mention a classification problem of minimal orbits in hyperpolar PF actions on Hilbert spaces.     

Real submanifolds in complex spaces

Let(z_(11),..., z_(1N),..., z_(m1),..., z_(mN), w_(11),..., w_(mm)) be the coordinates in C~(mN) +m~2. In this note we prove the analogue of the Theorem of Moser in the case of the real-analytic submanifold M defined as follows W = ZZ~t+ O(3),where W = {w_(ij)}_(1≤i,j≤m)and Z = {z_(ij) }_(1≤i≤m, 1≤j≤N). We prove that M is biholomorphically equivalent to the model W = ZZ~t if and only if is formally equivalent to it.     

Diophantine vectors in analytic submanifolds of Euclidean spaces

Let M be an m-dimensional analytic manifold in R~n.In this paper,we prove that almost all vectors in M (in the sense of Lebesgue measure) are Diophantine if there exists one Diophantine vector in M.     

The constancy of principal curvatures of curvature-adapted submanifolds in symmetric spaces

In this paper, we investigate complete curvature-adapted submanifolds with maximal flat section and trivial normal holonomy group in symmetric spaces of compact type or non-compact type under a certain condition, and derive the constancy of the principal curvatures of such submanifolds. As a result, we derive that such submanifolds are isoparametric.     

Totally geodesic submanifolds of maximal rank in symmetric spaces

We gave a complete list of totally geodesic submanifolds of maximal rank in symmetric spaces of noncompact type. The compact cases can be obtained by the duality.

On compact submanifolds of nonpositive external curvature in Riemannian spaces

In this paper we consider compact multidimensional surfaces of nonpositive external curvature in a Riemannian space. If the curvature of the underlying space is ≥ 1 and the curvature of the surface is ≤ 1, then in small codimension the surface is a totally geodesic submanifold that is locally isometric to the sphere. Under stricter restrictions on the curvature of the underlying space, the submanifold is globally isometric to the unit sphere.

In an earlier article, B. Y. Chen established the following sharp general inequality: $$ \sigma(2)\le \frac{n^2{(n-2)}^2}{2(n^2-3n+4)}H^2 $$ for arbitrary $n$-dimensional conformally flat submanifolds in a Euclidean space, where $H^2$ denotes the squared mean curvature. The main purpose of this paper is to completely classify the extremal class of conformally flat submanifolds which satisfy the equality case of the above inequality. Our main result states that except open portions of totally geodesic $n$-planes, open portions of spherical hypercylinders and open portion of round hypercones, conformally flat submanifolds satifying the equality case of the inequality are obtained from some loci of $(n-2)$-spheres around some special coordinate-minimal surfaces.

Diameter estimates for submanifolds in manifolds with nonnegative curvature

Given a closed connected manifold smoothly immersed in a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature, we estimate the intrinsic diameter of the submanifold in terms of its mean curvature field integral. On the other hand, for a compact convex surface with boundary smoothly immersed in a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature, we can estimate its intrinsic diameter in terms of its mean curvature field integral and the length of its boundary. These results are supplements of previous work of Topping, Wu-Zheng and Paeng.     

The holomorphic extension of -CR functions on tube submanifolds

We consider the set of CR functions on a connected tube submanifold of satisfying a uniform bound on the -norm in the tube direction. We show that all such CR functions holomorphically extend to functions on the convex hull of the tube (). The -norm of the extension is shown to be the same as the uniform -norm in the tube direction of the CR function.

     

Homogeneous hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic spaces

We study the geometry of homogeneous hypersurfaces and their focal sets in complex hyperbolic spaces. In particular, we provide a characterization of the focal set in terms of its second fundamental form and determine the principal curvatures of the homogeneous hypersurfaces together with their multiplicities.

Complete space-like submanifolds in locally symmetric semi-definite spaces

The purpose of this paper is to study complete space-like submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector and flat normal bundle in a locally symmetric semi-defnite space satisfying some curvature conditions. We first give an optimal estimate of the Laplacian of the squared norm of the second fundamental form for such submanifold. Furthermore, the totally umbilical submanifolds are characterized
