Integral geometry of complex space forms

We show how Alesker’s theory of valuations on manifolds gives rise to an algebraic picture of the integral geometry of any Riemannian isotropic space. We then apply this method to give a thorough account of the integral geometry of the complex space forms, i.e. complex projective space, complex hyperbolic space and complex Euclidean space. In particular, we compute the family of kinematic formulas for invariant valuations and invariant curvature measures in these spaces. In addition to new and more efficient framings of the tube formulas of Gray and the kinematic formulas of Shifrin, this approach yields a new formula expressing the volumes of the tubes about a totally real submanifold in terms of its intrinsic Riemannian structure. We also show by direct calculation that the Lipschitz-Killing valuations stabilize the subspace of invariant angular curvature measures, suggesting the possibility that a similar phenomenon holds for all Riemannian manifolds. We conclude with a number of open questions and conjectures.     

Helical geodesic immersions into complex space forms

This paper consists of two parts. One is to construct a class of helical geodesic equivariant immersions of orderd(⩾3), which are neither Kaehler nor totally real immersions, into complex projective spaces. The other is to show the basic results about a helix in complex space forms. This research was partially supported by Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (Nos 62740070 and 62740054), Ministry of Education, Science and Culture and by the Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik in Bonn.     

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.     

Hopf hypersurfaces in pseudo-Riemannian complex and para-complex space forms

The study of real hypersurfaces in pseudo-Riemannian complex space forms and para-complex space forms, which are the pseudo-Riemannian generalizations of the complex space forms, is addressed. It is proved that there are no umbilic hypersurfaces, nor real hypersurfaces with parallel shape operator in such spaces. Denoting by J be the complex or para-complex structure of a pseudo-complex or para-complex space form respectively, a non-degenerate hypersurface of such space with unit normal vector field N is said to be Hopf if the tangent vector field JN is a principal direction. It is proved that if a hypersurface is Hopf, then the corresponding principal curvature (the Hopf curvature) is constant. It is also observed that in some cases a Hopf hypersurface must be, locally, a tube over a complex (or para-complex) submanifold, thus generalizing previous results of Cecil, Ryan and Montiel.     

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.

Quasi-biharmonic Lagrangian surfaces in Lorentzian complex space forms

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a quasi-biharmonic submanifold in a pseudo-Riemannian manifold and classify quasi-biharmonic marginally trapped Lagrangian surfaces in Lorentzian complex space forms.     

The volume of tubes in complex space forms

In this paper we give the volume of tubes around complex submanifolds in complex space form in terms of the technique of Jacobi fields. This work is supported partially by NNSF of China.     

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.     

The Gauss-Bonnet theorem and Crofton-type formulas in complex space forms

We compute the measure with multiplicity of the set of complex planes intersecting a compact domain in any complex space form. The result is given in terms of the so-called hermitian intrinsic volumes. Moreover, we obtain two different versions for the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula in complex space forms. One of them gives the Gauss curvature integral in terms of the Euler characteristic, and some hermitian intrinsic volumes. The other one, which is shorter, involves the measure of complex hyperplanes meeting the domain. As a tool, we obtain variation formulas in integral geometry of complex space forms.     

Curvature surfaces of Hopf hypersurfaces in complex space forms

We study the principal curvatures of a Hopf hypersurfaceM in ℂP ⁿ or ℂH ⁿ . The respective eigenspaces of the shape operator often turn out to induce totally real foliations ofM, whose leaves are spherical in the ambient space. Finally we classify the Hopf hypersurfaces with three distinct principal curvatures satisfying a certain non-degeneracy condition.     

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.
