Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds with symmetries

By making use of the symplectic reduction and the cohomogeneity method, we give a general method for constructing Hamiltonian minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds with symmetries. As applications, we construct infinitely many nontrivial complete Hamiltonian minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in CPⁿ$C{P}^n$ and Cⁿ$C^n$.     

Möbius hypersurfaces in S S+1with three distinct principal curvatures

On a hypersurface of a unit sphere without umbilical points, we know that three Möbius invariants can be defined and analogous to Euclidean case, we have the concepts of Möbius isoparametric and isotropic hypersurfaces. In this paper, we study the relationship between Euclidean geometry and Möbius geometry, and prove that a hypersurface in a sphere with constant length of the second fundamental form is Euclidean isoparametric if and only if it is Möbius isoparametric. When restricting to the case of three distinct principal curvatures, we show that such a hypersurface is either Möbius isoparametric or isotropic if the Blaschke tensor has constant eigenvalues.     

On complete noncompact submanifolds with constant mean curvature and finite total curvature in Euclidean spaces

In this paper, we consider a complete noncompact n-submanifold M with parallel mean curvature vector h in an Euclidean space. If M has finite total curvature, we prove that M must be minimal, so that M is an affine n-plane if it is strongly stable. This is a generalization of the result on strongly stable complete hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in Received: 30 June 2005     

A Ricci inequality for hypersurfaces in the sphere

Let Mⁿ be a complete Riemannian manifold immersed isometrically in the unity Euclidean sphere In [9], B. Smyth proved that if Mⁿ, n ≧ 3, has sectional curvature K and Ricci curvature Ric, with inf K > −∞, then sup Ric ≧ (n − 2) unless the universal covering of Mⁿ is homeomorphic to Rn or homeomorphic to an odd-dimensional sphere. In this paper, we improve the result of Smyth. Moreover, we obtain the classification of complete hypersurfaces of with nonnegative sectional curvature.Received: 11 November 2003     

Complete hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and finite L p norm curvature in Euclidean spaces

In this paper, we consider complete hypersurfaces in R ⁿ⁺¹ with constant mean curvature H and prove that M ⁿ is a hyperplane if the L ² norm curvature of M ⁿ satisfies some growth condition and M ⁿ is stable. It is an improvement of a theorem proved by H. Alencar and M. do Carmo in 1994. In addition, we obtain that M ⁿ is a hyperplane (or a round sphere) under the condition that M ⁿ is strongly stable (or weakly stable) and has some finite L ^p norm curvature.

Generalized surfaces with constant <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>/<Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis> in Euclidean three-space

Surfaces in Euclidean three-space with constant ratio of mean curvature to Gauss curvature arise naturally as the parallel surfaces to minimal surfaces. They might possess singularities which occur naturally as focal points of minimal surfaces. We study geometric properties and the singularities of such surfaces, prove some global results about them, and provide a Björling formula to construct such surfaces with prescribed point or curve singularities.

Complete surfaces of constant curvature in H<Superscript>2</Superscript> × R and S<Superscript>2</Superscript> × R

We study isometric immersions of surfaces of constant curvature into the homogeneous spaces and . In particular, we prove that there exists a unique isometric immersion from the standard 2-sphere of constant curvature c > 0 into and a unique one into when c > 1, up to isometries of the ambient space. Moreover, we show that the hyperbolic plane of constant curvature c < −1 cannot be isometrically immersed into or . J.A.

SPACELIKE SUBMANIFOLDS IN THE DE SITTER SPACE Sp^（n＋p）（c）WITH CONSTANT SCALAR CURVATURE

Let M^n be a closed spacelike submanifold isometrically immersed in de Sitter space Sp^(n p)(c)， Denote by R,H and S the normalized scalar curvature,the mean curvature and the square of the length of the second fundamental form of M^n ,respectively. Suppose R is constant and R≤c. The pinching problem on S is studied and a rigidity theorem for M^n immersed in Sp^(n p)(c) with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field is proved. When n≥3, the pinching constant is the best. Thus, the mistake of the paper “Space-like hypersurfaces in de Sitter space with constant scalar curvature”(see Manus Math, 1998,95 :499-505) is corrected. Moreover,the reduction of the codimension when M^n is a complete submanifold in Sp^(n p)(c) with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field is investigated.

L p solutions of refinement equations

In the recent characterizations of the L_p solution of the refinement equation in terms of the “p-norm joint spectral radius,” there are problems in choosing the initial function for iteration [3, 23], or in addition, requiring stability of the refinable function [13, 17]. In this article we overcome these difficulties and give a more complete characterization of this nature. The criterion is constructive and can be implemented. It can be used to describe the regularity of the solution without assuming stability. This has significant advantages over the previous work. The corresponding results for vector refinement equations are also discussed.
