In this paper, we determine a large class of totally geodesic submanifolds of a compact Riemannian symmetric space. The stability of these submanifolds in their ambient space is also determined.

Characterization of Totally Geodesic Totally Real 3-dimensional Submanifolds in the 6-sphere

In this paper, we study Lagrangian submanifolds of the nearly Kaehler 6-sphere. We derive a pinching result for the Ricci curvature of such submanifolds thus providing a characterisation of the totally geodesic submanifold. Our pinching result improves a previous result obtained by H. Li.     

Integrable magnetic geodesic flows on lie groups

On Lie group manifolds, we consider right-invariant magnetic geodesic flows associated with 2-cocycles of the corresponding Lie algebras. We investigate the algebra of the integrals of motion of magnetic geodesic flows and also formulate a necessary and sufficient condition for their integrability in quadratures, giving the canonical forms of 2-cocycles for all four-dimensional Lie algebras and selecting integrable cases. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 156, No. 2, pp. 189–206, August, 2008.     

Some properties of abnormal extremals on Lie groups

Let G be a connected Lie group and D be a bracket generating left invariant distribution.In this paper,first,we prove that all sub-Riemannian minimizers are smooth in Lie groups if the distribution D satisfies [D,[D,D]]D and [K,[K,K]]K for any proper sub-distribution K of D.Second,we prove that all sub-Riemannian minimizers are smooth in Lie group if the rank-3 distribution D satisfies Condition(B).Third,we discuss characterizations of normal extremals,abnormal extremals,rigid curves,and minimizers on product sub-riemannian Lie groups.We prove that not all strictly abnormal minimizers are rigid curves and construct a strictly abnormal minimizer which is not a rigid curve.     

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.

Non-closed Lie subgroups of Lie groups

We obtain several homotopy obstructions to the existence of non-closed connected Lie subgroupsH in a connected Lie groupG.First we show that the foliationF(G, H) onG determined byH is transversely complete [4]; moreover, forK the closure ofH inG, F(K, H) is an abelian Lie foliation [2].Then we prove that ₁(K) and ₁(H) have the same torsion subgroup, _n (K)= _n (H) for alln 2, and rank₁(K) — rank₁(H) > codimF(K, H). This implies, for instance, that a contractible (e.g. simply connected solvable) Lie subgroup of a compact Lie group must be abelian. Also, if rank₁(G) 1 then any connected invariant Lie subgroup ofG is closed; this generalizes a well-known theorem of Mal'cev [3] for simply connected Lie groups.Finally, we show that the results of Van Est on (CA) Lie groups [6], [7] provide many interesting examples of such foliations. Actually, any Lie group with non-compact centre is the (dense) leaf of a foliation defined by a closed 1-form. Conversely, when the centre is compact, the latter is true only for (CA) Lie groups (e.g. nilpotent or semisimple).     

Totally Umbilical Subrnanifolds in a Locally Symmetric Manifold

In this paper we obtain some formulas for totally umbilical submanifolds in a localiy symmetric manifold, and dcrivc some local rcsults on the submanifolds from these formulas.     

Contractible Lie groups over local fields

Let G be a Lie group over a local field of characteristic p > 0 which admits a contractive automorphism α : G → G (i.e., α ⁿ (x) → 1 as n → ∞, for each x ∈ G). We show that G is a torsion group of finite exponent and nilpotent. We also obtain results concerning the interplay between contractive automorphisms of Lie groups over local fields, contractive automorphisms of their Lie algebras, and positive gradations thereon. Some of the results extend to Lie groups over arbitrary complete ultrametric fields. Supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG), grants GL 357/2-1 and GL 357/6-1.

Some remarks on pseudo-umbilical totally real submanifolds in a complex projective space

This paper studies the relationship between the pseudo-umbilical totally real submanifolds and the minimal totally real submanifolds in a complex projective space. Two theo- rems which claim that some types of pseudo-umbilical totally real submanifolds must be minimal submanifolds are proved.     

Totally geodesic submanifolds of the complex quadric

In this article, relations between the root space decomposition of a Riemannian symmetric space of compact type and the root space decompositions of its totally geodesic submanifolds (symmetric subspaces) are described. These relations provide an approach to the classification of totally geodesic submanifolds in Riemannian symmetric spaces; this is exemplified by the classification of the totally geodesic submanifolds in the complex quadric Qm:=SO(m+2)/(SO(2)×SO(m)) obtained in the second part of the article. The classification shows that the earlier classification of totally geodesic submanifolds of Qm by Chen and Nagano (see [B.-Y. Chen, T. Nagano, Totally geodesic submanifolds of symmetric spaces, I, Duke Math. J. 44 (1977) 745-755]) is incomplete. More specifically, two types of totally geodesic submanifolds of Qm are missing from [B.-Y. Chen, T. Nagano, Totally geodesic submanifolds of symmetric spaces, I, Duke Math. J. 44 (1977) 745-755]: The first type is constituted by manifolds isometric to CP¹×RP¹; their existence follows from the fact that Q² is (via the Segre embedding) holomorphically isometric to CP¹×CP¹. The second type consists of 2-spheres of radius which are neither complex nor totally real in Qm.

Ergodic measures of geodesic flows on compact Lie groups

Let Ψ be the geodesic flow associated with a two-sided invariant metric on a compact Lie group. In this paper, we prove that every ergodic measure μ of Ψ is supported on the unit tangent bundle of a flat torus. As an application, all Lyapunov exponents of μ are zero hence μ is not hyperbolic. Our underlying manifolds have nonnegative curvature (possibly strictly positive on some sections), whereas in contrast, all geodesic flows related to negative curvature are Anosov hence every ergodic measure is hyperbolic.
