We obtain the expressions for sectional curvature, holomorphic sectional curvature and holomorphic bisectional curvature of a GCR-lightlike submanifold of an indefinite nearly K ¨ahler manifold and obtain characterization theorems for holo-morphic sectional and holomorphic bisectional curvature. We also establish a condi-tion for a GCR-lightlike submanifold of an indefinite complex space form to be a null holomorphically flat.

Sectional curvature,compact cores,and local quasiconvexity

We define a new notion of sectional curvature for 2-complexes, and describe a variety of examples with nonpositive or negative sectional curvature. The 2-complexes with nonpositive sectional curvature have coherent and locally indicable fundamental groups. The 2-complexes with negative sectional curvature have the compact core property for covers with finitely generated fundamental group. The fundamental groups of compact 2-complexes with metric negative sectional curvature have locally-quasiconvex fundamental groups.     

Orbifold fibrations of Eschenburg spaces

Most of the few known examples of compact Riemannian manifolds with positive sectional curvature are the total space of a Riemannian submersion. In this article we show that this is true for all known examples, if we enlarge the category to orbifold fibrations. For this purpose we study all almost free isometric circle actions on positively curved Eschenburg spaces, which give rise to principle orbifold bundle structures, and we examine in detail their geometric properties. In particular, we obtain a new family of 6-dimensional orbifolds with positive sectional curvature whose singular locus consists of just two points.      

New Homogeneous Einstein Metrics of Negative Ricci Curvature

We construct new homogeneous Einstein spaces with negativeRicci curvature in two ways: First, we give a method for classifying andconstructing a class of rank one Einstein solvmanifolds whose derivedalgebras are two-step nilpotent. As an application, we describe anexplicit continuous family of ten-dimensional Einstein manifolds with atwo-dimensional parameter space, including a continuous subfamily ofmanifolds with negative sectional curvature. Secondly, we obtain newexamples of non-symmetric Einstein solvmanifolds by modifying thealgebraic structure of non-compact irreducible symmetric spaces of rankgreater than one, preserving the (constant) Ricci curvature.

Curvature of invariant metrics on Pyatetskii-Shapiro's generalized homogeneous domains

We study the curvature of invariant metrics on the generalization of the classical homogeneous domain of Pyatetskii-Shapiro, as given by D'Atri in [3]. We obtain all invariant Kähler metrics of either, nonpositive sectional curvature or nonpositive holomorphic sectional curvature, and determine the corresponding connected groups of isometries in each case. This yields a continuous family of nonsymmetric homogeneous Kähler metrics with nonpositive curvature.Supported in part by CONICOR and SECyT (UNC).

Cusp closing in rank one symmetric spaces

We investigate conditions under which cusps of pinched negative curvature can be closed as manifolds or orbifolds with nonpositive sectional curvature. We show that all cusps of complex hyperbolic type can be closed in this way whereas cusps of quaternionic or Cayley hyperbolic type cannot be closed. For cusps of real hyperbolic type we derive necessary and sufficient closing conditions. In this context we prove that a noncompact finite volume quotient of a rank one symmetric space can be approximated in the Gromov Hausdorff topology by closed orbifolds with nonpositive curvature if and only if it is real or complex hyperbolic. Using cusp closing methods we obtain new examples of real analytic manifolds of nonpositive sectional curvature and rank one containing flats. By the same methods we get an explicit resolution of the singularities in the Baily–Borel resp.Siu–Yau compactification of finite volume quotients of the complex hyperbolic space.

On Hypersurfaces of Spheres with Two Principal Curvatures

In this paper we obtain a classification of hypersurfaces in the Euclidean sphere having two principal curvatures; for some of the results we impose that the sectional curvature (Ricci curvature, resp.) is non-negative Ricci.     

Stable minimal hypersurfaces in a Riemannian manifold with pinched negative sectional curvature

We give an estimate of the smallest spectral value of the Laplace operator on a complete noncompact stable minimal hypersurface M in a complete simply connected Riemannian manifold with pinched negative sectional curvature. In the same ambient space, we prove that if a complete minimal hypersurface M has sufficiently small total scalar curvature then M has only one end. We also obtain a vanishing theorem for L ² harmonic 1-forms on minimal hypersurfaces in a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded below by a negative constant. Moreover, we provide sufficient conditions for a minimal hypersurface in a Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature to be stable.     

Codimension three nonnegatively curved submanifolds with infinite fundamental group

We show that a complete, codimension three submanifold M of nonnegative sectional curvature that isometrically splits as ${\bar{M} \times \mathbb{R}}$ has nonnegative curvature operator. We apply this result to obtain a classification of codimension three nonflat manifolds of nonnegative sectional curvature and infinite fundamental group.     

Comparison theorem on Cartan-Hartogs domain of the first type

In this paper the holomorphic sectional curvature under invariant Kahler metrics on Cartan-Hartogs domain of the first type are given in explicit forms. In the meantime, we construct an invariant Kahler metric, which is not less than Bergman metric such that its holomorphic sectional curvature is bounded from above by a negative constant. Hence we obtain the comparison theorem for the Bergman metric and Kobayashi metric on Cartan-Hartogs domain of the first type.     

Isoperimetric inequalities for submanifolds with bounded mean curvature

In this paper, we provide various Sobolev-type inequalities for smooth nonnegative functions with compact support on a submanifold with variable mean curvature in a Riemannian manifold whose sectional curvature is bounded above by a constant. We further obtain the corresponding linear isoperimetric inequalities involving mean curvature. We also provide various first Dirichlet eigenvalue estimates for submanifolds with bounded mean curvature.     

Curvatures of the tangent bundle with a special almost product metric

We study a class of Riemannian almost product metrics on the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold. This class includes the Sasaki and Cheeger-Gromoll metrics as special cases. For this class of metrics, we find the dependence of the scalar curvature of the tangent bundle on objects of the base manifold. For the case in which the base manifold is a space of constant sectional curvature, we obtain conditions on the metric and the dimension of the base under which the scalar curvature of the tangent bundle is constant. For special cases of metrics of the class considered, we find the intervals on which the scalar curvature of the tangent bundle treated as a function of the sectional curvature of the base has constant sign.

Manifolds with 1/4-Pinched Flag Curvature

We say that a nonnegatively curved manifold (M, g) has quarter-pinched flag curvature if for any two planes which intersect in a line the ratio of their sectional curvature is bounded above by 4. We show that these manifolds have nonnegative complex sectional curvature. By combining with a theorem of Brendle and Schoen it follows that any positively curved manifold with strictly quarter-pinched flag curvature must be a space form. This in turn generalizes a result of Andrews and Nguyen in dimension 4. For odd-dimensional manifolds we obtain results for the case that the flag curvature is pinched with some constant below one quarter, one of which generalizes a recent work of Petersen and Tao.
