Biharmonic Submanifolds with Parallel Mean Curvature in \mathbb{S}^{n}\times\mathbb{R}

We find a Simons type formula for submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector (pmc submanifolds) in product spaces M ⁿ (c)×?, where M ⁿ (c) is a space form with constant sectional curvature c, and then we use it to prove a gap theorem for the mean curvature of certain complete proper-biharmonic pmc submanifolds, and classify proper-biharmonic pmc surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^{n}(c)\times\mathbb{R}$ .     

A zoo of diffeomorphism groups on \mathbb{R }^{n}

We consider the groups ${\mathrm{Diff }}_\mathcal{B }(\mathbb{R }^n)$ , ${\mathrm{Diff }}_{H^\infty }(\mathbb{R }^n)$ , and ${\mathrm{Diff }}_{\mathcal{S }}(\mathbb{R }^n)$ of smooth diffeomorphisms on $\mathbb{R }^n$ which differ from the identity by a function which is in either $\mathcal{B }$ (bounded in all derivatives), $H^\infty = \bigcap _{k\ge 0}H^k$ , or $\mathcal{S }$ (rapidly decreasing). We show that all these groups are smooth regular Lie groups.     

Supercyclic abelian semigroups of matrices on \mathbb {C}^{n}

We give a complete characterization of a supercyclic abelian semigroup of matrices on \(\mathbb {C}^{n}\) . For finitely generated semigroups, this characterization is explicit and it is used to determine the minimal number of matrices in normal form over \(\mathbb {C}\) that form a supercyclic abelian semigroup on \({\mathbb {C}}^{n}\) . In particular, no abelian semigroup generated by \(n-1\) matrices on \(\mathbb {C}^{n}\) can be supercyclic.

Laguerre geometry of hypersurfaces in $$\mathbb{R}^{n}$$

Laguerre geometry of surfaces in is given in the book of Blaschke [Vorlesungen über Differentialgeometrie, Springer, Berlin Heidelberg New York (1929)], and has been studied by Musso and Nicolodi [Trans. Am. Math. soc. 348, 4321–4337 (1996); Abh. Math. Sem. Univ. Hamburg 69, 123–138 (1999); Int. J. Math. 11(7), 911–924 (2000)], Palmer [Remarks on a variation problem in Laguerre geometry. Rendiconti di Mathematica, Serie VII, Roma, vol. 19, pp. 281–293 (1999)] and other authors. In this paper we study Laguerre differential geometry of hypersurfaces in . For any umbilical free hypersurface with non-zero principal curvatures we define a Laguerre invariant metric g on M and a Laguerre invariant self-adjoint operator : TM → TM, and show that is a complete Laguerre invariant system for hypersurfaces in with n≥ 4. We calculate the Euler–Lagrange equation for the Laguerre volume functional of Laguerre metric by using Laguerre invariants. Using the Euclidean space , the semi-Euclidean space and the degenerate space we define three Laguerre space forms , and and define the Laguerre embeddings and , analogously to what happens in the Moebius geometry where we have Moebius space forms S ⁿ , and (spaces of constant curvature) and conformal embeddings and [cf. Liu et al. in Tohoku Math. J. 53, 553–569 (2001) and Wang in Manuscr. Math. 96, 517–534 (1998)]. Using these Laguerre embeddings we can unify the Laguerre geometry of hypersurfaces in , and . As an example we show that minimal surfaces in or are Laguerre minimal in .C. Wang Partially supported by RFDP and Chuang-Xin-Qun-Ti of NSFC.     

On Quadratic Differentials and Twisted Normal Maps of Surfaces in {\mathbb{S}^{2} \times\mathbb{R}} and {\mathbb{H}^{2} \times\mathbb{R}}

Given a Lie group G with a bi-invariant metric and a compact Lie subgroup K, Bittencourt and Ripoll used the homogeneous structure of quotient spaces to define a Gauss map ${\mathcal{N}:M^{n}\rightarrow{\mathbb{S}}}$ on any hypersupersurface ${M^{n}\looparrowright G/K}$ , where ${{\mathbb{S}}}$ is the unit sphere of the Lie algebra of G. It is proved in Bittencourt and Ripoll (Pacific J Math 224:45–64, 2006) that M ⁿ having constant mean curvature (CMC) is equivalent to ${\mathcal{N}}$ being harmonic, a generalization of a Ruh–Vilms theorem for submanifolds in the Euclidean space. In particular, when n = 2, the induced quadratic differential ${\mathcal{Q}_{\mathcal{N}}:=(\mathcal{N}^{\ast}g)^{2,0}}$ is holomorphic on CMC surfaces of G/K. In this paper, we take ${G/K={\mathbb{S}}^{2}\times{\mathbb{R}}}$ and compare ${\mathcal{Q}_{\mathcal{N}}}$ with the Abresch–Rosenberg differential ${\mathcal{Q}}$ , also holomorphic for CMC surfaces. It is proved that ${\mathcal{Q}=\mathcal{Q}_{\mathcal{N}}}$ , after showing that ${\mathcal{N}}$ is the twisted normal given by (1.5) herein. Then we define the twisted normal for surfaces in ${{\mathbb{H}}^{2}\times{\mathbb{R}}}$ and prove that ${\mathcal{Q}=\mathcal{Q}_{\mathcal{N}}}$ as well. Within the unified model for the two product spaces, we compute the tension field of ${\mathcal{N}}$ and extend to surfaces in ${{\mathbb{H}}^{2}\times{\mathbb{R}}}$ the equivalence between the CMC property and the harmonicity of ${\mathcal{N}.}$      

Linearity and Second Fundamental Forms for Proper Holomorphic Maps from \mathbb{B}^{n+1} to \mathbb{B}^{4n-3}

For a holomorphic proper map F from the ball $\mathbb{B}^{n+1}$ into $\mathbb{B}^{N+1}$ that is C ³ smooth up to the boundary, the image $M=F(\partial\mathbb{B}^{n})$ is an immersed CR submanifold in the sphere $\partial \mathbb{B}^{N+1}$ on which some second fundamental forms II _M and $\mathit{II}^{CR}_{M}$ can be defined. It is shown that when 4??n+1<N+1??4n?3, F is linear fractional if and only if $\mathit{II}_{M} - \mathit{II}_{M}^{CR} \equiv 0$ .

Isometric embeddings of \mathbb{Z}_{p^k} in the Hamming space \mathbb{F}_{p}^{N} and \mathbb{Z}_{p^k}-linear codes

Isometric embeddings of $\mathbb{Z}_{p^n+1}$ into the Hamming space ( $\mathbb{F}_{p}^{p^n},w$ ) have played a fundamental role in recent constructions of non-linear codes. The codes thus obtained are very good codes, but their rate is limited by the rate of the first-order generalized Reed–Muller code—hence, when n is not very small, these embeddings lead to the construction of low-rate codes. A natural question is whether there are embeddings with higher rates than the known ones. In this paper, we provide a partial answer to this question by establishing a lower bound on the order of a symmetry of ( $\mathbb{F}_{p}^{N},w$ ).     

Nonexistence of generalized bent functions from $$\mathbb {Z}_{2}^{n}$$ to $$\mathbb {Z}_{m}$$Zm

In this paper, several nonexistence results on generalized bent functions \(f:\mathbb {Z}_{2}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb {Z}_{m}\) are presented by using the knowledge on cyclotomic number fields and their imaginary quadratic subfields.     

Inverse Spectral Problem for Analytic {{(\mathbb{Z}/2 \mathbb{Z})^{n}}} -Symmetric Domains in {{\mathbb{R}^{n}}}

We prove that bounded real analytic domains in ${\mathbb{R}^{n}}$ , with the symmetries of an ellipsoid and with one axis length fixed, are determined by their Dirichlet or Neumann eigenvalues among other bounded real analytic domains with the same symmetries and axis length. Some non-degeneracy conditions are also imposed on the class of domains. It follows that bounded, convex analytic domains are determined by their spectra among other such domains. This seems to be the first positive result for the well-known Kac problem, “Can one hear the shape of a drum?”, in higher dimensions.     

Rank-one convex hulls in \mathbb{R}^{2\times2}

We study the rank-one convex hull of compact sets . We show that if K contains no two matrices whose difference has rank one, and if K contains no four matrices forming a T ₄ configuration, then the rank-one convex hull K ^rc is equal to K. Furthermore, we give a simple numerical criterion for testing for T ₄ configurations.

The complete hyper-surfaces with zero scalar curvature in \mathbb{R }^{n+1}

Let $M^n$ be a complete and noncompact hyper-surface immersed in $R^{n+1}$ . We should show that if $M$ is of finite total curvature and Ricci flat, then $M$ turns out to be a hyperplane. Meanwhile, the hyper-surfaces with the vanishing scalar curvature is also considered in this paper. It can be shown that if the total curvature is sufficiently small, then by refined Kato’s inequality, conformal flatness and flatness are equivalent in some sense. And those results should be compared with Hartman and Nirenberg’s similar results with flat curvature assumption.
