Generalized Sasakian Space Forms and Riemannian Manifolds of Quasi Constant Sectional Curvature

In this paper, we show that a generalized Sasakian space form of dimension >3 is either of constant sectional curvature, or a canal hypersurface in Euclidean or Minkowski spaces, or locally a certain type of twisted product of a real line and a flat almost Hermitian manifold, or locally a warped product of a real line and a generalized complex space form, or an \({\alpha}\)-Sasakian space form, or it is of five dimension and admits an \({\alpha}\)-Sasakian Einstein structure. In particular, a local classification for generalized Sasakian space forms of dimension >5 is obtained. A local classification of Riemannian manifolds of quasi constant sectional curvature of dimension >3 is also given in this paper.     

On Isometric Immersion of Three-Dimensional Geometries $$\widetilde{SL}_2$$ , Nil,and Sol into a Four-Dimensional Space of Constant Curvature

We prove the nonexistence of an isometric immersion of the geometries Nil ³ and into a four-dimensional space M _c ⁴ of constant curvature c. We establish that the geometry Sol ³ cannot be immersed into M _c ⁴ for c ≠ −1 and find the analytic immersion of this geometry into the hyperbolic space H ⁴ (−1). __________ Translated from Ukrains'kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal, Vol. 57, No. 3, pp. 421–426, March, 2005.

The main objective of this paper is to study the boundedness character, the periodic character and the global stability of the positive solutions of the following difference equation $x_{n + 1} = \frac{{\alpha x_n + \beta x_{n - 1} + \gamma x_{n - 2} + \delta x_{n - 3} }}{{Ax_n + Bx_{n - 1} + Cx_{n - 2} + Dx_{n - 3} }},n = 0,1,2.....$ where the coefficientsA, B, C, D, α, β, γ, δ, and the initial conditionsx _-3,x _-2,x _-1,x ₀ are arbitrary positive real numbers.     

Harmonic tori in De Sitter spaces S^{2n}_1

We show that all superconformal harmonic immersions from genus one surfaces into de Sitter spaces $S^{2n}_{1}$ with globally defined harmonic sequence are of finite-type and hence result merely from solving a pair of ordinary differential equations. As an application, we prove that all Willmore tori in $S^{3}$ without umbilic points can be constructed in this simple way.     

Application of Soliton Theory to the Construction of Isometric Immersions of M^{{n_{1} }} {\left( {c_{1} } \right)} \times M^{{n_{2} }} {\left( {c_{2} } \right)} into Constant Curvature Spaces M n (±1)

In this paper, we apply the soliton theory to the case of isometric immersion in differential geometry and obtain a family of isometric immersions from M ^{n 1}(c ₁) ×M ^{n 2}(c ₂) to space forms M ⁿ (c) by introducing 2-parameter loop algebra. Received July 14, 1999, Accepted June 15, 2000     

On the difference equationx_{n + 1} = \frac{{a + bx_{n - k} - cx_{n - m} }}{{1 + g(x_{n - 1} )}}

In this paper we consider the difference equation $$x_{n + 1} = \frac{{a + bx_{n - k} - cx_{n - m} }}{{1 + g(x_{n - 1} )}},$$ wherea, b, c are nonegative real numbers,k, l, m are nonnegative integers andg(x) is a nonegative real function. The oscillatory and periodic character, the boundedness and the stability of positive solutions of the equation is investigated. The existence and nonexistence of two-period positive solutions are investigated in details. In the last section of the paper we consider a generalization of the equation.

We investigate the global stability, the periodic character and the boundedness nature of solutions of the equation in the title for all admissible nonnegative values of the parameters and the initial conditions.

Rigid Embeddings of Sasakian Hyperquadrics in $$\mathbb {C}^{n+1}$$

We give a classification of Sasakian manifolds that are CR-equivalent to hyperquadrics by describing their exact parameter space. For “ half” of the parameter space, we find an explicit representation by defining equations. This problem is related to the problem of finding pseudo-Kähler potentials with prescribed Ricci curvature.
