On almost contact metric hypersurfaces with type number 1 or 0 in 6-dimensional Hermitian submanifolds of the Cayley algebra

We prove that, in a 6-dimensional Hermitian submanifold of the Cayley algebra, almost contact metric structures are identical on a hypersurface with type number 0 and on a hypersurface with type number 1.     

The type number of flattening six-dimensional Hermitian submanifolds of the Cayley algebra

It is proved that the type number of any flattening six-dimensional Hermitian submanifolds of the octaves algebra does not exceed 2. It is also proved that the type number of a Hermitian locally-symmetric submanifold of Ricci type is identically equal to 2.     

On the Kenmotsu Hypersurfaces of Special Hermitian Manifolds

We consider almost contact metric hypersurfaces of almost Hermitian manifolds of class W₃ (in the Gray–Hervella terminology). We establish a criterion for minimality of such hypersurfaces in the case when the contact metric structure is cosymplectic.     

On semi-parallel lightlike hypersurfaces of indefinite Kenmotsu manifolds

We study semi-parallel lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Kenmotsu manifold, tangent to the structure vector field. Some Theorems on parallel and semi-parallel vector field, geodesibility of lightlike hypersurfaces are obtained. The geometrical configuration of such lightlike hypersurfaces is established. We prove that, in totally contact umbilical lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Kenmotsu manifold which has constant ${\overline{\phi}}$ -holomorphic sectional curvature c, tangent to the structure vector field and such that its distribution is parallel, the parallelism and semi-parallelism notions are equivalent.     

Geometry of warped product pseudo-slant submanifolds of Kenmotsu manifolds

In this paper, we study pseudo-slant submanifolds and their warped products in Kenmotsu manifolds. We obtain the necessary conditions that a pseudoslant submanifold is locally a warped product and establish an inequality for the squared norm of the second fundamental form in terms of the warping function. The equality case is also considered.     

The Type Number of the Cosymplectic Hypersurfaces of 6-Dimensional Hermitian Submanifolds of the Cayley Algebra

We study the 6-dimensional oriented submanifolds of the Cayley algebra which are endowed with the Hermitian structure induced by 3-folds vector cross products. We prove that the type number of a cosymplectic hypersurface of a 6-dimensional Hermitian submanifold of the Cayley algebra is at most 3 and that a 6-dimensional Kaehler submanifold of the octave algebra has no cosymplectic hypersurfaces with the type number greater than one.     

Einstein hypersurfaces of the Cayley projective plane

We prove that the Cayley hyperbolic plane admits no Einstein hypersurfaces and that the only Einstein hypersurfaces in the Cayley projective plane are geodesic spheres of a certain radius; this completes the classification of Einstein hypersurfaces in rank-one symmetric spaces.     

A note on warped product submanifolds of Kenmotsu manifolds

Warped product manifolds are known to have applications in Physics. For instance, they provide an excellent setting to model space-time near a black hole or a massive star (cf. [HONG, S. T.: Warped products and black holes, Nuovo Cimento Soc. Ital. Fis. B 120 (2005), 1227–1234]). The studies on warped product manifolds with extrinsic geometric point of view are intensified after B. Y. Chen’s work on CR-warped product submanifolds of Kaehler manifolds. Later on, similar studies are carried out in the setting of Sasakian manifolds by Hasegawa and Mihai. As Kenmotsu manifolds are themselves warped product spaces, it is interesting to investigate warped product submanifolds of Kenmotsu manifolds. In the present note a larger class of warped product submanifolds than the class of contact CR-warped product submanifolds is considered. More precisely the existence of warped product submanifolds of a Kenmotsu manifold with one of the factors an invariant submanifold is ensured, an example of such submanifolds is provided and a characterization for a contact CR-submanifold to be a contact CR-warped product submanifold is established.     

The fundamental theorem of algebra for Hamilton and Cayley numbers

In this paper we prove the fundamental theorem of algebra for polynomials with coefficients in the skew field of Hamilton numbers (quaternions) and in the division algebra of Cayley numbers (octonions). The proof, inspired by recent definitions and results on regular functions of a quaternionic and of a octonionic variable, follows the guidelines of the classical topological argument due to Gauss. G. Gentili and F. Vlacci are partially supported by G.N.S.A.G.A. of the I.N.D.A.M. and by M.I.U.R.     

Cayley transform and the Kronecker product of Hermitian matrices

We consider the conditions under which the Cayley transform of the Kronecker product of two Hermitian matrices can be again presented as a Kronecker product of two matrices and, if so, if it is a product of the Cayley transforms of the two Hermitian matrices. We also study the related question: given two matrices, which matrix under the Cayley transform yields the Kronecker product of their Cayley transforms.     

Hermitian Adjacency Spectrum of Cayley Digraphs over Dihedral Group

We first study the spectrum of Hermitian adjacency matrix(H-spectrum)of Cayley digraphs X(D 2n,S)on dihedral group D2n with|S|=3.Then we show that all Cayley digraphs X(D2P,S)with|S|=3 and p odd prime are Cay-DS,namely,for any Cayley digraph X(D2P,T),X(D2P,T)and X(D2P,S)having the same H-spectrum implies that they are isomorphic.     

On Ricci tensor of focal submanifolds of isoparametric hypersurfaces

A-manifolds and B-manifolds, introduced by Gray(1978), are two significant classes of Einstein-like Riemannian manifolds. A Riemannian manifold is Ricci parallel if and only if it is simultaneously an A-manifold and a B-manifold. The present paper proves that both focal submanifolds of each isoparametric hypersurface in unit spheres with g = 4 distinct principal curvatures are A-manifolds. As for the focal submanifolds with g = 6,m = 1 or 2, only one is an A-manifold, and neither is a B-manifold.     

On some variational problems for 2-dimensional Hermitian metrics

Summary Let (M, J, g) be a compact complex 2-dimensional Hermitian manifold with the Kähler form , and the torsion 1-form defined by d = . In this note we obtain the Euler-Lagrange equations for the variational functionals defined by ² and d², whereg runs in the space of all the Hermitian metrics onM. In the first case, the extremals are precisely the Kähler metrics [Gd]. In the second case, we also write down a formula for the second variation.Communicated by J. Szenthe
