Parallel mean curvature biconservative surfaces in complex space forms

In this paper, we consider PMC surfaces in complex space forms, and study the interaction between the notions of PMC, totally real and biconservative. We first consider PMC surfaces in a non-flat complex space form and prove that they are biconservative if and only if totally real. Then, we find a Simons-type formula for a well-chosen vector field constructed from the mean curvature vector field and use it to prove a rigidity result for CMC biconservative surfaces in two-dimensional complex space forms. We prove then a reduction codimension result for PMC biconservative surfaces in non-flat complex space forms. We conclude by constructing examples of CMC non-PMC biconservative submanifolds from the Segre embedding and discuss when they are proper-biharmonic.     

On Ricci curvature of isotropic and Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms

Let M ⁿ be a Riemannian n-manifold. Denote by S(p) and [`(Ric)](p)overline {Ric}(p) the Ricci tensor and the maximum Ricci curvature on M <sup>n</sup> at a point p ? M<sup>n</sup>pin M^n, respectively. First we show that every isotropic submanifold of a complex space form [(M)tilde]<sup>m</sup>(4 c)widetilde M^m(4,c) satisfies S ￡ ((n-1)c+ [(n<sup>2</sup>)/4] H<sup>2</sup>)gSleq ((n-1)c+ {n^2 over 4} H^2)g, where H<sup>2</sup> and g are the squared mean curvature function and the metric tensor on M <sup>n</sup>, respectively. The equality case of the above inequality holds identically if and only if either M <sup>n</sup> is totally geodesic submanifold or n = 2 and M <sup>n</sup> is a totally umbilical submanifold. Then we prove that if a Lagrangian submanifold of a complex space form [(M)tilde]<sup>m</sup>(4 c)widetilde M^m(4,c) satisfies [`(Ric)] = (n-1)c+ [(n²)/4] H²overline {Ric}= (n-1)c+ {n^2 over 4} H^2 identically, then it is a minimal submanifold. Finally, we describe the geometry of Lagrangian submanifolds which satisfy the equality under the condition that the dimension of the kernel of second fundamental form is constant.

Isoparametric submanifolds in two-dimensional complex space forms

We show that an isoparametric submanifold of a complex hyperbolic plane, according to the definition of Heintze, Liu and Olmos’, is an open part of a principal orbit of a polar action. We also show that there exists a non-isoparametric submanifold of the complex hyperbolic plane that is isoparametric according to the definition of Terng’s. Finally, we classify Terng-isoparametric submanifolds of two-dimensional complex space forms.     

Pseudo-parallel Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms

In this work we study pseudo-parallel Lagrangian submanifolds in a complex space form. We give several general properties of pseudo-parallel submanifolds. For the 2-dimensional case, we show that any minimal Lagrangian surface is pseudo-parallel. We also give examples of non-minimal pseudo-parallel Lagrangian surfaces. Here we prove a local classification of the pseudo-parallel Lagrangian surfaces. In particular, semi-parallel Lagrangian surfaces are totally geodesic or flat. Finally, we give examples of pseudo-parallel Lagrangian surfaces which are not semi-parallel.     

On Ricci curvature ofC-totally real submanifolds in Sasakian space forms

LetM ⁿ be a Riemanniann-manifold. Denote byS(p) and Ric(p) the Ricci tensor and the maximum Ricci curvature onM _n, respectively. In this paper we prove that everyC-totally real submanifold of a Sasakian space formM ^2m+1(c) satisfies , whereH ² andg are the square mean curvature function and metric tensor onM ⁿ, respectively. The equality holds identically if and only if eitherM ⁿ is totally geodesic submanifold or n = 2 andM ⁿ is totally umbilical submanifold. Also we show that if aC-totally real submanifoldM ⁿ ofM ²ⁿ⁺¹ (c) satisfies identically, then it is minimal.     

Ideal CR submanifolds in non-flat complex space forms

An explicit representation for ideal CR submanifolds of a complex hyperbolic space has been derived in T. Sasahara (2002). We simplify and reformulate the representation in terms of certain Kähler submanifolds. In addition, we investigate the almost contact metric structure of ideal CR submanifolds in a complex hyperbolic space. Moreover, we obtain a codimension reduction theorem for ideal CR submanifolds in a complex projective space.     

Biminimal Lagrangian H-umbilical submanifolds in complex space forms

All biminimal Lagrangian surfaces of nonzero constant mean curvature in 2-dimensional complex space forms have been determined in Sasahara (Differ Geom Appl 27:647?C652, 2009). In this paper, we completely determine biminimal Lagrangian H-umbilical submanifolds of nonzero constant mean curvature in complex space forms of dimension ?? 3.     

Mean curvature of extrinsic spheres in submanifolds of real space forms

Given a submanifold P^m with the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of its second fundamental form bounded from above, in a real space form of constant curvature we have obtained a lower bound for the norm of the mean curvature normal vector field of extrinsic spheres with sufficiently small radius in P^m in terms of the mean curvature of the geodesic spheres in with same radius, and the mean curvature of P^m.Received: 4 April 2003

Warped product structure of submanifolds with nonpositive extrinsic curvature in space forms

By means of a simple warped product construction we obtain examples of submanifolds with nonpositive extrinsic curvature and minimal index of relative nullity in any space form. We then use this to extend to arbitrary space forms four known splitting results for Euclidean submanifolds with nonpositive sectional curvature.     

Classification of Casorati ideal Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms

In this paper, using optimization methods on Riemannian submanifolds, we establish two improved inequalities for generalized normalized δ-Casorati curvatures of Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms. We provide examples showing that these inequalities are the best possible and classify all Casorati ideal Lagrangian submanifolds (in the sense of B.-Y. Chen) in a complex space form. In particular, we generalize the recent results obtained in G.E. Vîlcu (2018) [34].     

Optimal general inequalities for Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms

Lagrangian submanifolds appear naturally in the context of classical mechanics. Moreover, they play some important roles in supersymmetric field theories as well as in string theory. In this paper we establish general inequalities for Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms. We also provide examples showing that these inequalities are the best possible. Moreover, we provide simple non-minimal examples which satisfy the equality case of the improved inequalities.     

Compact submanifolds in space forms

We use closed conformal vector fields in a constant sectional curvature Riemannian manifold ${\mathbb{M}}$ to study the geometry of its immersed submanifolds. In this situation we obtain a characterization of sphere among compact submanifolds with positive Ricci curvature immersed in ${\mathbb{M}}$ .
