Laguerre isoparametric hypersurfaces in ℝ n with two distinct non-zero principal curvatures

An umbilical free oriented hypersurfacex：M→Rnwith non-zero principal curvatures is called a Laguerre isoparametric hypersurface if its Laguerre form C=i Ciωi=iρ1（Ei（logρ）（r ri）Ei（r））ωi vanishes and Laguerre shape operator S=ρ1（S 1 rid）has constant eigenvalues.Hereρ=i（r ri）2,r=r1＋r2＋···＋rn 1n 1is the mean curvature radius andSis the shape operator ofx.{Ei}is a local basis for Laguerre metric g=ρ2III with dual basis{ωi}and III is the third fundamental form ofx.In this paper,we classify all Laguerre isoparametric hypersurfaces in Rn（n〉3）with two distinct non-zero principal curvatures up to Laguerre transformations.     

Blaschke isoparametric hypersurfaces in the conformal space ℚ 1 n+1 , I

Let x : M → Q₁ⁿ⁺¹ be a regular hypersurface in the conformal space Q₁ⁿ⁺¹. We classify all the space-like Blaschke isoparametric hypersurfaces with two distinct Blaschke eigenvalues in the conformal space up to the conformal equivalence.     

Willmore hypersurfaces with constant Möbius curvature in R n+1

For an immersed hypersurface ${f : M^n \rightarrow R^{n+1}}$ without umbilical points, one can define the Möbius metric g on f which is invariant under the Möbius transformation group. The volume functional of g is a generalization of the well-known Willmore functional, whose critical points are called Willmore hypersurfaces. In this paper, we prove that if a n-dimensional Willmore hypersurfaces ${(n \geq 3)}$ has constant sectional curvature c with respect to g, then c = 0, n = 3, and this Willmore hypersurface is Möbius equivalent to the cone over the Clifford torus in ${S^{3} \subset R^{4}}$ . Moreover, we extend our previous classification of hypersurfaces with constant Möbius curvature of dimension ${n \ge 4}$ to n = 3, showing that they are cones over the homogeneous torus ${S^1(r) \times S^1(\sqrt{1 - r^2}) \subset S^3}$ , or cylinders, cones, rotational hypersurfaces over certain spirals in the space form R ², S ², H ², respectively.     

Rigid Sets of Dimension n – 1 in ℝ n

We give conditions allowing an intrinsic isometry on a dense subset to be extended to an isometry of the whole set. This enables us to find examples of (n-1)-dimensional sets rigid in ⁿ .     

Möbius homogeneous hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in S n+1

The purpose of this paper is to classify the Möbius homogeneous hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in S ⁿ⁺¹ under the Möbius transformation group. Additionally, we give a classification of the Möbius homogeneous hypersurfaces in S ⁴.     

On the Gauss mapping of hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in ℍ n+1

In this paper, we deal with complete hypersurfaces immersed in the hyperbolic space with constant scalar curvature. By supposing suitable restrictions on the Gauss mapping of such hypersurfaces we obtain some rigidity results. Our approach is based on the use of a generalized maximum principle, which can be seen as a sort of extension to complete (noncompact) Riemannian manifolds of the classical Hopf’s maximum principle.     

Linear structures on the collections of minimal surfaces inℝ 3 andℝ 4

The collection of minimal herissons in ³ is endowed with a vector space structure. The existence of this structure is related to the fact that null curves inC ³ are described by a single map from the étalé space of the sheaf of germs of holomorphic sections of the line bundle of degree 2 over ₁ to C³, which islinear on stalks. There is an analogous construction for null curves inC ⁴. This gives a similar class of minimal surfaces in ⁴.     

Some remarks on compact constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in a halfspace of ℍ n+1

We consider embedded compact hypersurfacesM in a halfspace of hyperbolic space with boundaryM in the boundary geodesic hyperplaneP of the halfspace and with non-zero constant mean curvature. We prove the following. Let {M _n } be a sequence of such hypersurfaces withM _n contained in a disk of radiusr _n centered at a point P such thatr _n 0 and that eachM _n is a large. H-hypersurface,H > 1. Then there exists a subsequence of {M _n } converging to the sphere of mean curvatureH tangent toP at. In the case of smallH-hypersurfaces orH 1, if we add a condition on the curvature of the boundary, there exists a subsequence of {M _n } which are graphs. The convergence is smooth on compact subset of ³ .     

Foliations and global injectivity in ℝ n

Let F: ? ⁿ → ? ⁿ be a polynomial local diffeomorphism and let S _F denote the set of not proper points of F. The Jelonek’s real Jacobian Conjecture states that if codim(S _F ) ≥ 2, then F is bijective. We prove a weak version of such conjecture establishing the sufficiency of a necessary condition for the bijectivity of F.     

The Gauss�CKronecker curvature of minimal hypersurfaces in four-dimensional space forms

Let ${{\mathbb{Q}^4}(c)}$ be a four-dimensional space form of constant curvature c. In this paper we show that the infimum of the absolute value of the Gauss?CKronecker curvature of a complete minimal hypersurface in ${\mathbb{Q}^4(c), c\leq 0}$ , whose Ricci curvature is bounded from below, is equal to zero. Further, we study the connected minimal hypersurfaces M ³ of a space form ${{\mathbb{Q}^4}(c)}$ with constant Gauss?CKronecker curvature K. For the case c ?? 0, we prove, by a local argument, that if K is constant, then K must be equal to zero. We also present a classification of complete minimal hypersurfaces of ${\mathbb{Q}^4(c)}$ with K constant.     

K 0 of hypersurfaces defined by x 1 2 + ... + x n 2 = ±1

Let k be a field of characteristic ≠ 2 and let Q _n,m (x ₁, ..., x _n , y ₁, ..., y _m ) = x ₁ ² +...+x _n ² ? (y ₁ ² +...+y _m ² ) be a quadratic form over k. Let R(Q _n,m ) = R _n,m = k[x ₁, ..., x _n , y ₁, ..., y _m ]/(Q _n,m ? 1). In this note we will calculate $\tilde K_0 \left( {R_{n,m} } \right)$ for every n,m ≥ 0. We will also calculate CH ₀(R _n,m ) and the Euler class group of R _n,m when k = ?.     

Classification of hypersurfaces with parallel Mbius second fundamental form in S~(n+1)

Let M~n(n≥2) be an immersed umbilic-free hypersurface in the (n+1)-dimensional unit sphere S~(n+1). Then M~n is associated with a so-called Mobius metric g,and a Mobius second fundamental form B which are invariants of M~n under the Mobiustransformation group of S~(n+1). In this paper, we classify all umbilic-free hypersurfaces withparallel Mobius second fundamental form.

Double Bubbles for Immiscible Fluids in ℝ n

We use a new approach that we call unification to prove that standard weighted double bubbles in n-dimensional Euclidean space minimize immiscible fluid surface energy, that is, surface area weighted by constants. The result is new for weighted area, and also gives the simplest known proof to date of the (unit weight) double bubble theorem (Hass et al., Electron. Res. Announc. Am. Math. Soc., 1(3):98–102, 1995; Hutchings et al., Ann. Math., 155(2):459–489, 2002; Reichardt, J. Geom. Anal., 18(1):172–191, 2008). As part of the proof, we introduce a striking new symmetry argument for showing that a minimizer must be a surface of revolution.     

On Chern?s problem for rigidity of minimal hypersurfaces in the spheres

For a compact minimal hypersurface M in Sn+1 with the squared length of the second fundamental form S we confirm that there exists a positive constant δ(n) depending only on n, such that if n?S?n+δ(n), then S≡n, i.e., M is a Clifford minimal hypersurface, in particular, when n?6, the pinching constant .     

Multipliers with singularities along a curve in ℝ n

We consider in ⁿ ,n2, the curve = (t,t ² ,...,t ⁿ ), ₀t₀,₀>0 a small number. We study the boundedness of operatorsT ,>0, defined by multipliers which present singularities along . Our results are derived from a sharp estimate on a suitable maximal function. In the casen=2 theT 's are Bochner-Riesz operators and our results coincide with the known ones.     

Set of ambiguous points for functions in ℝ n

It is known that an arbitrary function in the open unit disk can have at most countable set of ambiguous points. Point ζ on the unit circle is an ambiguous point of a function if there exist two Jordan arcs, lying in the unit ball, except the endpoint ζ, such that cluster sets of function along these arcs are disjoint. We investigate whether it is possible to modify the notion of ambiguous point to keep the analogous result true for functions defined in the n-dimensional Euclidean unit ball.
