Minimal Translation Hypersurfaces in Euclidean Space

The graph of a function f defined in some open set of the Euclidean space of dimension (p + q) is said to be a translation graph if f may be expressed as the sum of two independent functions ? and ψ defined in open sets of the Euclidean spaces of dimension p and q, respectively. We obtain a useful expression for the mean curvature of the graph of f in terms of the Laplacian, the gradient of ? and ψ as well as of the mean curvatures of their graphs. We study translation graphs having zero mean curvature, that is, minimal translation graphs, by imposing natural conditions on ? and ψ, like harmonicity, minimality and eikonality (constant norm of the gradient), giving several examples as well as characterization results.

Minimal Hypersurfaces in Hyperbolic Spaces

In this paper, we reprove a theorem of M. Anderson [Invent. Math., 69 （1982）, pp. 477-494] which established the existence of a minimal hypersurface in the hyperbolic space with prescribed asymptotic boundary with non-negative mean curvature in the non-parametric case. We use the mean curvature flow method.     

G-Semidifferentiability in Euclidean Spaces

To unify the increasing number of generalized derivatives in the recent literature, a general concept of differentiability, embracing several classical cases, has been proposed in Ref. 1. Proceeding in this vein, the present note is devoted to deepening the study of the properties of this general approach and to point out, as much as possible, the connections with the Dini–Hadamard derivatives. The results obtained in this sense lay the groundwork for a future comparison among several different optimality conditions for constrained extremum problems.

The Hausdorff-Ershov Hierarchy in Euclidean Spaces

The topological arithmetical hierarchy is the effective version of the Borel hierarchy. Its class Δ^ta₂ is just large enough to include several types of pointsets in Euclidean spaces ℝ^k which are fundamental in computable analysis. As a crossbreed of Hausdorff's difference hierarchy in the Borel class Δ^B₂ and Ershov's hierarchy in the class Δ⁰₂ of the arithmetical hierarchy, the Hausdorff-Ershov hierarchy introduced in this paper gives a powerful classification within Δ^ta₂. This is based on suitable characterizations of the sets from Δ^ta₂ which are obtained in a close analogy to those of the Δ^B₂ sets as well as those of the Δ⁰₂ sets. A helpful tool in dealing with resolvable sets is contributed by the technique of depth analysis. On this basis, the hierarchy properties, in particular the strict inclusions between classes of different levels, can be shown by direct constructions of witness sets. The Hausdorff-Ershov hierarchy runs properly over all constructive ordinals, in contrast to Ershov's hierarchy whose denotation-independent version collapses at level ω². Also, some new characterizations of concepts of decidability for pointsets in Euclidean spaces are presented.     

Minimal Homogeneous Submanifolds in Euclidean Spaces

We prove that minimal (extrinsically) homogeneous submanifolds of the Euclidean space are totally geodesic. As an application, we obtain that a complex homogeneous submanifold of C ^N must be totally geodesic.

Hypersurfaces of the Euclidean sphere with nonnegative Ricci curvature

In this paper we prove that a compact oriented hypersurface of a Euclidean sphere with nonnegative Ricci curvature and infinite fundamental group is isometric to an H(r)-torus with constant mean curvature. Furthermore, we generalize, whithout any hypothesis about the mean curvature, a characterization of Clifford torus due to Hasanis and Vlachos. Received: 19 March 2002     

Complete Linear Weingarten Spacelike Hypersurfaces Immersed in a Locally Symmetric Lorentz Space

In this paper, we establish a characterization theorem concerning the complete linear Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a locally symmetric Lorentz space, whose sectional curvature is supposed to obey certain appropriated conditions. Under a suitable restriction on the length of the second fundamental form, we prove that a such spacelike hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or an isoparametric hypersurface with two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple.     

On Embeddings of Tori in Euclidean Spaces

Using the relation between the set of embeddings of tori into Euclidean spaces modulo ambient isotopies and the homotopy groups of Stiefel manifolds, we prove new results on embeddings of tori into Euclidean spaces.     

Inequalities Characterizing Coisotone Cones in Euclidean Spaces

The isotone projection cone, defined by G. Isac and A. B. Németh, is a closed pointed convex cone such that the order relation defined by the cone is preserved by the projection operator onto the cone. In this paper the coisotone cone will be defined as the polar of a generating isotone projection cone. Several equivalent inequality conditions for the coisotonicity of a cone in Euclidean spaces will be given. Thanks are due to A. B. Németh who draw the author’s attention on the relation of latticial cones generated by vectors with pairwise non-accute angles with the theory of isotone cones.     

Unit Distances and Diameters in Euclidean Spaces

We show that the maximum number of unit distances or of diameters in a set of n points in d-dimensional Euclidean space is attained only by specific types of Lenz constructions, for all d≥4 and n sufficiently large depending on d. As a corollary, we determine the exact maximum number of unit distances for all even d≥6 and the exact maximum number of diameters for all d≥4 and all n sufficiently large depending on d.
