SLANT SUBMANIFOLDS OF A RIEMANNIAN PRODUCT MANIFOLD

In this article, the geometry of the slant submanifolds of a Riemannian product manifold is studied. Some necessary and sufficient conditions on slant, bi-slant and semi-slant submanifolds are given. We research fundamental properties of the distributions which are involved in definitions of semi- and bi-slant submanifolds in a Riemannian product manifold.     

Semi-Slant Submanifolds of a Sasakian Manifold

We define and study both bi-slant and semi-slant submanifolds of an almost contact metric manifold and, in particular, of a Sasakian manifold. We prove a characterization theorem for semi-slant submanifolds and we obtain integrability conditions for the distributions which are involved in the definition of such submanifolds. We also study an interesting particular class of semi-slant submanifolds.     

Screen Pseudo-Slant Lightlike Submanifolds of Indefinite Sasakian Manifolds

In this paper, we introduce the notion of screen pseudo-slant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds giving characterization theorem with some non-trivial examples of such submanifolds. Integrability conditions of distributions D ₁, D ₂ and RadTM on screen pseudo-slant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds have been obtained. Further, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for foliations determined by above distributions to be totally geodesic. We also study mixed geodesic screen pseudo-slant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds.     

Lorentzian geometry of CR submanifolds

This paper deals with Cauchy-Riemann (CR) submanifolds and their interaction with relativity. We lay the foundations of Lorentz CR submanifolds followed by some new applicable results. In particular, we study a new class of CR submanifolds with light-like distributions whose local geometry is quite different from what is known on this subject. Finally, we propose a research problem related to pseudo-conformal mappings and relativity. The paper contains several new results of geometric/physical significance.     

Pointwise Pseudo-slant Warped Product Submanifolds in a Kähler Manifold

The purpose of this paper is to study the pointwise pseudo-slant warped product submanifolds of a Kähler manifold \(\widetilde{M}\). We derive the conditions of integrability and totally geodesic foliation for the distributions allied to the characterization of a pointwise pseudo-slant submanifolds of \(\widetilde{M}\). The necessary and sufficient conditions for isometrically immersed pointwise pseudo-slant submanifolds of \(\widetilde{M}\) to be a pointwise pseudo-slant warped product and a locally Riemannian product are obtained. Further, we classify pointwise pseudo-slant warped product submanifolds of \(\widetilde{M}\) by developing the sharp inequalities in terms of second fundamental form and wrapping function.     

A spherical Bernstein theorem for minimal submanifolds of higher codimension

Combining the tools of geometric analysis with properties of Jordan angles and angle space distributions, we derive a spherical and a Euclidean Bernstein theorem for minimal submanifolds of arbitrary dimension and codimension, under the condition that the Gauss image is contained in some geometrically defined closed region of a Grassmannian manifold. The proof depends on the subharmoncity of an auxiliary function, the Codazzi equations and geometric measure theory.

On the oblique derivative problem for second order elliptic equations

A calculus of polyhomogeneous paired Lagrangian distributions, associated to any two cleanly intersecting Lagrangain submanifolds, is constructed. The class is given an intrinsic characterisation using radial operators and a symbol calculus is developed. A class of pseudo—differential operators with singular symbols is developed within the calculus. This is used to give symbolic constructions of parametrices for operators of real principal type and paired Lagrangian distributions. The calculus is then applied to give a symbolic construction of the forward fundamental solution of the wave operator.     

Austere and arid properties for PF submanifolds in Hilbert spaces

Austere submanifolds and arid submanifolds constitute respectively two different classes of minimal submanifolds in finite dimensional Riemannian manifolds. In this paper we introduce the concepts of these submanifolds into a class of proper Fredholm (PF) submanifolds in Hilbert spaces, discuss their relation and show examples of infinite dimensional austere PF submanifolds and arid PF submanifolds in Hilbert spaces. We also mention a classification problem of minimal orbits in hyperpolar PF actions on Hilbert spaces.     

On canonical screen for lightlike submanifolds of codimension two

In this paper we study two classes of lightlike submanifolds of codimension two of semi-Riemannian manifolds, according as their radical subspaces are 1-dimensional or 2-dimensional. For a large variety of both these classes, we prove the existence of integrable canonical screen distributions subject to some reasonable geometric conditions and support the results through examples.      

Weak Para-CR Structures on Vertical Bundles

We consider the paracomplex geometry of the vertical bundle for a given manifold in relationship with paracomplex CR-structures by following the complex case studied by Bejancu (Tensor 46:361–364, 1987). Adding a neutral metric, the corresponding structures on the vertical bundle of submanifolds, particularly hypersurfaces, are also studied through their invariant and anti-invariant distributions.     

Generalized Cauchy--Riemann lightlike submanifolds of Kaehler manifolds

Summary We introduce a class of submanifolds, namely, Generalized Cauchy--Riemann (GCR) lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Kaehler manifolds. We show that this new class is an umbrella of invariant (complex), screen real [8] and CR lightlike [6] submanifolds. We study the existence (or non-existence) of this new class in an indefinite space form. Then, we prove characterization theorems on the existence of totally umbilical, irrotational screen real, complex and CR minimal lightlike submanifolds. We also give one example each of a non totally geodesic proper minimal GCR and CR lightlike submanifolds.     

Screen Cauchy Riemann lightlike submanifolds

Summary We introduce a new class of lightlike submanifolds, namely, Screen Cauchy Riemann (SCR) lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Kaehler manifolds. Contrary to CR-lightlike submanifolds, we show that SCR-lightlike submanifolds include invariant (complex) and screen real subcases of lightlike submanifolds. We study some properties of proper totally umbilical SCR-lightlike submanifolds, their invariant (complex) and screen real subcases.     

On numbers not of the form <Emphasis Type=”Italic”>n</Emphasis>-ω(<Emphasis Type=”Italic”>n</Emphasis>)

Summary We introduce a new class of lightlike submanifolds, namely, Screen Cauchy Riemann (SCR) lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Kaehler manifolds. Contrary to CR-lightlike submanifolds, we show that SCR-lightlike submanifolds include invariant (complex) and screen real subcases of lightlike submanifolds. We study some properties of proper totally umbilical SCR-lightlike submanifolds, their invariant (complex) and screen real subcases.     

Generalized Cauchy-Riemann lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds

We study a class of submanifolds, called Generalized Cauchy-Riemann (GCR) lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds as an umbrella of invariant, screen real, contact CR lightlike subcases [8] and real hypersurfaces [9]. We prove existence and non-existence theorems and a characterization theorem on minimal GCR-lightlike submanifolds.     

Some isoperimetric inequalities and eigenvalue estimates in weighted manifolds

In this paper we prove general inequalities involving the weighted mean curvature of compact submanifolds immersed in weighted manifolds. As a consequence we obtain a relative linear isoperimetric inequality for such submanifolds. We also prove an extrinsic upper bound to the first non-zero eigenvalue of the drift Laplacian on closed submanifolds of weighted manifolds.     

Levi Form of CR Submanifolds of Maximal CR Dimension of Complex Space forms

Considering the Levi form on CR submanifolds of maximal CR dimension of complex space forms, we prove that on some remarkable real submanifolds of complex projective space the Levi form can never vanish and we determine all such submanifolds in the case when the ambient manifold is a complex Euclidean space. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Some lightlike submanifolds of almost complex manifolds with Norden metric

In this paper we study submanifolds of an almost complex manifold with Norden metric which are non-degenerate with respect to the one Norden metric and lightlike with respect to the other Norden metric on the manifold. Relations between the induced geometric objects of some of these submanifolds are given. Examples of the considered submanifolds are constructed.

Integrable Riemannian Submersion with Singularities

A map of a Riemannian manifold into an euclidian space is said to be transnormal if its restrictions to neighbourhoods of regular level sets are integrable Riemannian submersions. Analytic transnormal maps can be used to describe isoparametric submanifolds in spaces of constant curvature and equifocal submanifolds with flat sections in simply connected symmetric spaces. These submanifolds are also regular leaves of singular Riemannian foliations with sections. We prove that regular level sets of an analytic transnormal map on a real analytic complete Riemannian manifold are equifocal submanifolds and leaves of a singular Riemannian foliation with sections.
