Homogeneity and Canonical Connections of Isoparametric Manifolds

On every isoparametric submanifold M a connection with parallel second fundamental form is constructed geometrically such that M is an orbit of an s-representation if and only if the connection is a canonical one. If the rank of M is greater than one this connection is in case of homogeneity the canonical connection of the reductive decomposition given by the orbit of s-representation.

设x:M→S~(n+1)(n≥5)是(n+1)-维单位球面上不含脐点的超曲面,在S~(n+1)的Moebius变换群下浸入x的四个基本不变量是:Moebius度量g;Moebius第二基本形式B;Moebius形式Φ和Blaschke张量A.本文给出S~(n+1)上具有重数1,1,1,m(m≥2)的四个不同Moebius主曲率的Moebius等参超曲面的分类.     

等参函数及相关问题研究

著名的Yau 猜想断言单位球面中的紧致嵌入极小超曲面的Laplace 算子的第一特征值等于其维数. 近年来有许多几何学家致力于对Yau 猜想的研究, 但是到目前为止, 已有的结论只是一些关于第一特征值估计的不等式. 作为本文的一个主要结果, 本文证明了对于单位球面中的等参极小超曲面,Yau 猜想是正确的. 进一步地, 对于等参超曲面的焦流形(实际上是球面的极小子流形), 本文还证明了在一定维数条件下, 它的第一特征值也是其维数.
作为本文的第二个主要结果, 以著名的Schoen-Yau-Gromov-Lawson 的关于数量曲率的手术理论为出发点, 本文在一个Riemann 流形的嵌入超曲面处作手术, 构造了一个新的具有丰富几何性质的流形, 称为double 流形. 特别地, 本文在单位球面的极小等参超曲面处实行了这一手术, 发现得到的double 流形不仅有很复杂的拓扑(但其示性类有精确描述), 还存在数量曲率为正的度量, 更重要的是保持了等参叶状结构.
比Willmore 曲面更广泛的定义是Willmore 子流形, 即Willmore 泛函在球面中的的极值子流形.单位球面中的Willmore 子流形的例子在已有文献中是非常罕见的. 作为本文的另外两个主要结果, 通过深入挖掘单位球面上的OT-FKM- 型等参函数的焦流形的性质, 本文发现其极大值对应的焦流形是单位球面的一系列Willmore 子流形; 之后, 本文用几何办法统一证明了单位球面中具有4 个不同主曲率的等参超曲面的焦流形都是单位球面的Willmore 子流形. 这些新的Willmore 子流形是极小的,但一般不是Einstein 的.     

Space-like Isoparametric Hypersurfaces in Lorentzian Space Forms

The purpose of this paper is to make clear the so-called Nomizu problem, whether it is possible to find examples of space-like isoparametric hypersurfaces in H ₁ ⁿ⁺¹ with more than two distinct principal curvatures. It is proved that a space-like isoparametric hypersurface in H ₁ ⁿ⁺¹ or S ₁ ⁿ⁺¹ can have at most two distinct principal curvatures. The authors present the classification and explicit analytic expressions of such type of isoparametric hypersurfaces. This paper was translated from J. Nanchang Univ. Nat. Sci. Ed., 2004, 28(2): 113–117

无锁定的退化的等参壳元

构造了一个无锁定的8节点退化的等参壳元。在自然坐标系中,对横向剪应变项插值修正使单元满足必要的模式(平移、转动和纯弯曲)以消除"剪切锁定";在局部坐标系中,对薄膜应变插值修正以消除"薄膜锁定"。这样构造的8节点单元的刚度矩阵具有正确的秩,同时具有恰当的零特征值和相应的刚体位移模式。这种单元对大跨-厚比情形既无"剪切锁定"又无"薄膜锁定",无虚假的零能模式和机构出现,可用于厚壳和薄壳。     

Finiteness results for equifocal hypersurfaces in compact symmetric spaces

We prove that there are only finitely many diffeomorphism types of curvature-adapted equifocal hypersurfaces in a simply connected compact symmetric space. Moreover, if the symmetric space is of rank one, the result can be strengthened by dropping the condition curvature-adapted.     

Isoparametric finite-element approximation of a Steklov eigenvalue problem

We study the isoparametric variant of the finite-element method(FEM) for an approximation of Steklov eigenvalue problems forsecond-order, selfadjoint, elliptic differential operators.Error estimates for eigenfunctions and eigenvalues are derived.We prove the same estimate for eigenvalues as that obtainedin the case of conforming finite elements provided that theboundary of the domain is well approximated. Some algorithmicaspects arising from the FE isoparametric discretization ofthe Steklov problems are analysed. We finish this paper withnumerical results confirming the considered theory.

Isoparametric foliation and Yau conjecture on the first eigenvalue,II

This is a continuation of [23], which investigated the first eigenvalues of minimal isoparametric hypersurfaces with g=4$g=4$ distinct principal curvatures and focal submanifolds in unit spheres. For the focal submanifolds with g=6$g=6$, the present paper obtains estimates on all the eigenvalues, among others, giving an affirmative answer in one case to the problem posed in [23], which may be regarded as a generalization of Yau's conjecture. In two of the four unsettled cases in [23] for focal submanifolds _M1$M_1$ of OT-FKM-type, we prove the first eigenvalues to be their respective dimensions.     

Codazzi Tensors and the Topology of Surfaces

We introduce the notion of (0,m)-Codazzi tensors relative to an affine connection which extends the well known concept for m = 2. On compact Riemannian surfaces of genus we determine the dimension of the R-vector space of traceless Codazzi tensors, which depends on m and only, additionally we extend these result for genus zero. We give some exemplary applications to submanifolds in affine and in Riemannian geometry and to Weyl geometries.     

单位球面S~6中的Blaschke等参超曲面

单位球面中的一个无脐点浸入子流形称为Blaschke等参子流形如果它的Mbius形式恒为零并且所有的Blaschke特征值均为常数.维数m4的Blaschke等参超曲面已经有了完全的分类.截止目前,Mbius等参超曲面的所有已知例子都是Blaschke等参的.另一方面,确实存在许多不是Mbius等参的Blaschke等参超曲面,它们都具有不超过两个的不同Blaschke特征值.在已有分类定理的基础上,本文对于5维Blaschke等参超曲面进行了完全的分类.特别地,我们证明了S6中具有多于两个不同Blaschke特征值的Blaschke等参超曲面一定是Mbius等参的,给出了此前一个问题的部分解答.     

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(n3)with two distinct non-zero principal curvatures up to Laguerre transformations.

Compact Ovoids in Quadrangles III: Clifford Algebras and Isoparametric Hypersurfaces

In this third part, we consider those compact quadrangles which arise from isoparametric hypersurfaces of Clifford type and their focal manifolds. Sections 9–11 give a comprehensive introduction to these quadrangles from the incidence-geometric point of view. Section 10 contains also a new (algebraic) proof that these geometries are quadrangles.We determine which of these quadrangles have ovoids or spreads and also whether the normal sphere bundles of the focal manifolds admit sections, or whether they are topologically trivial. We give explicit geometric constructions for spreads, ovoids, and sections.     

Classifications of Isoparametric Hypersurfaces in Randers Space Forms

In this paper, we give the complete classifications of isoparametric hypersurfaces in Randers space forms. By studying the principal curvatures of anisotropic submanifolds in a Randers space (N, F) with the navigation data (h, W), we find that a Randers space form (N, F, dμ_BH) and the corresponding Riemannian space (N, h) have the same isoparametric hypersurfaces, but in general, their isoparametric functions are different. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an isoparametric function of (N, h) to be isoparametric on (N, F, dμ_BH), from which we get some examples of isoparametric functions.
