A note on biharmonic submanifolds of product spaces

We investigate biharmonic submanifolds of the product of two space forms. We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for biharmonic submanifolds in these product spaces. Then, we obtain mean curvature estimates for proper-biharmonic submanifold of a product of two unit spheres. We also prove a non-existence result in the case of the product of a sphere and a hyperbolic space.     

On the Structure of Submanifolds with Degenerate Gauss Maps

An n-dimensional submanifold X of a projective space P ^N (C) is called tangentially degenerate if the rank of its Gauss mapping gamma;; X G(n, N) satisfies 0 < rank < n. The authors systematically study the geometry of tangentially degenerate submanifolds of a projective space P ^N (C). By means of the focal images, three basic types of submanifolds are discovered: cones, tangentially degenerate hypersurfaces, and torsal submanifolds. Moreover, for tangentially degenerate submanifolds, a structural theorem is proven. By this theorem, tangentially degenerate submanifolds that do not belong to one of the basic types are foliated into submanifolds of basic types. In the proof the authors introduce irreducible, reducible, and completely reducible tangentially degenerate submanifolds. It is found that cones and tangentially degenerate hypersurfaces are irreducible, and torsal submanifolds are completely reducible while all other tangentially degenerate submanifolds not belonging to basic types are reducible.     

Biharmonic Submanifolds in a Riemannian Manifold with Non-Positive Curvature

In this paper, we show that, for every biharmonic submanifold (M, g) of a Riemannian manifold (N, h) with non-positive sectional curvature, if ${\int_M\vert \eta \vert^2 v_g < \infty}$ , then (M, g) is minimal in (N, h), i.e., ${\eta\equiv0}$ , where η is the mean curvature tensor field of (M, g) in (N, h). This result gives an affirmative answer under the condition ${\int_M\vert \eta \vert^2 v_g < \infty}$ to the following generalized Chen’s conjecture: every biharmonic submanifold of a Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature must be minimal. The conjecture turned out false in case of an incomplete Riemannian manifold (M, g) by a counter example of Ou and Tang (in The generalized Chen’s conjecture on biharmonic sub-manifolds is false, a preprint, 2010).     

Genuine Rigidity of Euclidean Submanifolds in Codimension Two

An isometric deformation of an Euclidean submanifold is called genuine if the submanifold cannot be included into a submanifold of larger dimension in such a way that the deformation of the former is given by an isometric deformation of the latter. The submanifold is said to be genuinely rigid if it has no genuine deformations. In this paper we study the deformation problem in codimension two for the classes of elliptic and parabolic submanifolds. In spite of having a second fundamental form as degenerate as possible without being flat, i.e., the Gauss map has rank two everywhere, our main result says that generically these submanifolds are genuinely rigid. An additional unexpected deformation phenomenon for elliptic submanifolds carrying a Kaehler structure is described.     

Canonical Foliations of Certain Classes of Almost Contact Metric Structures

The purpose of this paper is to study the canonical foliations of an almost cosymplectic or almost Kenmotsu manifold M in a unified way. We prove that the canonical foliation F defined by the contact distribution is Riemannian and tangentially almost Kahler of codimension 1 and that F is tangentially Kahler if the manifold M is normal. Furthermore, we show that a semi-invariant submanifold N of such a manifold M admits a canonical foliation FN which is defined by the antiinvariant distribution and a canonical cohomology class c（N） generated by a transversal volume form for FN. In addition, we investigate the conditions when the even-dimensional cohomology classes of N are non-trivial. Finally, we compute the Godbillon Vey class for FN.     

Biharmonic properly immersed submanifolds in Euclidean spaces

We consider a complete biharmonic immersed submanifold M in a Euclidean space ${\mathbb{E}^N}$ . Assume that the immersion is proper, that is, the preimage of every compact set in ${\mathbb{E}^N}$ is also compact in M. Then, we prove that M is minimal. It is considered as an affirmative answer to the global version of Chen’s conjecture for biharmonic submanifolds.     

Universal bounds for eigenvalues of the biharmonic operator on Riemannian manifolds

In this paper we consider eigenvalues of the Dirichlet biharmonic operator on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary (possibly empty) and prove a general inequality for them. By using this inequality, we study eigenvalues of the Dirichlet biharmonic operator on compact domains in a Euclidean space or a minimal submanifold of it and a unit sphere. We obtain universal bounds on the (k+1)th eigenvalue on such objects in terms of the first k eigenvalues independent of the domains. The estimate for the (k+1)th eigenvalue of bounded domains in a Euclidean space improves an important inequality obtained recently by Cheng and Yang.     

On the Geometry of the 7-Sphere

A sphere of dimension 4n+3 admits three Sasakian structures and it is natural to ask if a submanifold can be an integral submanifold for more than one of the contact structures. In the 7-sphere it is possible to have curves which are Legendre curves for all three contact structures and there are 2 and 3-dimensional submanifolds which are integral submanifolds of two of the contact structures. One of the results here is that if a 3-dimensional submanifold is an integral submanifold of one of the Sasakian structures and invariant with respect to another, it is an integral submanifold of the remaining structure and is a principal circle bundle over a holmophic Legendre curve in complex projective 3-space.     

Biharmonic PNMC submanifolds in spheres

We obtain several rigidity results for biharmonic submanifolds in $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ with parallel normalized mean curvature vector fields. We classify biharmonic submanifolds in $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ with parallel normalized mean curvature vector fields and with at most two distinct principal curvatures. In particular, we determine all biharmonic surfaces with parallel normalized mean curvature vector fields in $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ . Then we investigate, for (not necessarily compact) proper-biharmonic submanifolds in $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ , their type in the sense of B.-Y. Chen. We prove that (i) a proper-biharmonic submanifold in $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ is of 1-type or 2-type if and only if it has constant mean curvature f=1 or f∈(0,1), respectively; and (ii) there are no proper-biharmonic 3-type submanifolds with parallel normalized mean curvature vector fields in $\mathbb{S}^{n}$ .     

A splitting theorem for equifocal submanifolds in simply connected compact symmetric spaces

A submanifold in a symmetric space is called equifocal if it has a globally flat abelian normal bundle and its focal data is invariant under normal parallel transportation. This is a generalization of the notion of isoparametric submanifolds in Euclidean spaces. To each equifocal submanifold, we can associate a Coxeter group, which is determined by the focal data at one point. In this paper we prove that an equifocal submanifold in a simply connected compact symmetric space is a non-trivial product of two such submanifolds if and only if its associated Coxeter group is decomposable. As a consequence, we get a similar splitting result for hyperpolar group actions on compact symmetric spaces. These results are an application of a splitting theorem for isoparametric submanifolds in Hilbert spaces by Heintze and Liu.

     

Geometry of Warped Product CR-Submanifolds in Kaehler Manifolds, II

 A CR-submanifold N of a Kaehler manifold is called a CR-warped product if N is the warped product of a holomorphic submanifold and a totally real submanifold of . This notion of CR-warped products was introduced in part I of this series. It was proved in part I that every CR-warped product in a Kaehler manifold satisfies a basic inequality: . The classification of CR-warped products in complex Euclidean space satisfying the equality case of the inequality is archived in part I. The main purpose of this second part of this series is to classify CR-warped products in complex projective and complex hyperbolic spaces which satisfy the equality.     

Anti-Invariant Submanifolds in a.Bochner-Kaehler Manifold

The Properties of submanifolds in a Bochner-Kaehler manifold have been studied mainly in the cases that the submanifolds are totally real by Yano, K., Houh, 0. S. and others. The main purpose of the present paper is to study whether the condition for the submanifold to be totolly real in their theorems is necessary, and to prove some theorems which are analogous to those mentioned above. A submanifold M^n of Kaehlerian manifold M^2m is called totally real or antiinvariant,if each tangent space of M^n is mapped into the normal space by the complex structure $\[{F_{\nu \mu }}\]$ of M^2m. Similarly, a submanifold M^n of Kaehlerian manifold M^2m is called anti-in variant with respect to L', if each tangent space of M^n is mapped into the normal space by the operator L' of M^2m. We obtain: (1) A necessary and sufficient condition for a totally umbilical submanifold M^n, n>3, in a Boohner-Kaehler manifold M^2m to be conformally flat is that the submanifold M^n is either a totally real submanifold or an anti-invariant submanifold with respect to L'. (2) Let M^n be the submanifold immersed in a Boohner-Kaehler manifold M^2m. If each tangent vector of M^n is Ricci principal direction and Ricci principal curvature $\[{\rho _h}\]$ does not equal $[\frac{{\tilde K}}{{4(m + 1)}}\]$ , then the anti-invariant submanifold with respect to L^' coincides with the totally real submanifold. (3) Let M^n be a totally umbilical submanifold immersed in a Boohner-Kaehler manifold M^2m If M^n is a totally real submanifold or an anti-invariant submanifold,then the sectional curvature of Mn is given by $[\rho (u,v) = \frac{1}{8}(\tilde K(u) + \tilde K(v)) + \sum\limits_{x = n + 1}^{2m} {{H^2}} ({e_x})\]$(A) where H(e_x) =H_x. Conversely, if the sectional curvature of M^n satisfying the condition mentioned in (2) is given by (A) for any two orthonormal tangent vectors u^\alpha and $v^\alpha$ then M^n is a totally real submanifold.

Biharmonic Riemannian submersions from 3-manifolds

An important theorem about biharmonic submanifolds proved independently by Chen-Ishikawa (Kyushu J Math 52(1):167?C185, 1998) and Jiang (Chin Ann Math Ser. 8A:376?C383, 1987) states that an isometric immersion of a surface into 3-dimensional Euclidean space is biharmonic if and only if it is harmonic (i.e, minimal). In a later paper, Caddeo et?al. (Isr J Math 130:109?C123, 2002) showed that the theorem remains true if the target Euclidean space is replaced by a 3-dimensional hyperbolic space form. In this paper, we prove the dual results for Riemannian submersions, i.e., a Riemannian submersion from a 3-dimensional space form into a surface is biharmonic if and only if it is harmonic.

Conformal and semi-conformal biharmonic maps

We show that a conformal mapping between Riemannian manifolds of the same dimension n ≥ 3 is biharmonic if and only if the gradient of its dilation satisfies a certain second-order elliptic partial differential equation. On an Einstein manifold solutions can be generated from isoparametric functions. We characterise those semi-conformal submersions that are biharmonic in terms of their dilation and the fibre mean curvature vector field.      

Flatness of CR submanifolds in a sphere

In Euclidean geometry, for a real submanifold M in E n+a , M is a piece of E n if and only if its second fundamental form is identically zero. In projective geometry, for a complex submanifold M in CP n+a , M is a piece of CP n if and only if its projective second fundamental form is identically zero. In CR geometry, we prove the CR analogue of this fact in this paper.
