Real hypersurfaces in quaternionic projective space

Summary This paper is devoted to make a systematic study of real hypersurfaces of quaternionic projective space using focal set theory. We obtain three types of such real hypersurfaces. Two of them are known. Third type is new and in its study the first example of proper quaternion CR-submanifold appears. We study real hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures and classify such hypersurfaces with at most two distinct principal curvatures. Finally we study the Ricci tensor of a real hypersurface of quaternionic projective space and classify pseudo-Einstein, almost-Einstein and Einstein real hypersurfaces.     

Real Hypersurfaces in Quaternionic Space Forms Satyisfying Axioms of Planes

A Riemannian manifold satisfies the axiom of 2-planes if at each point, there are suficiently many totally geodesic surfaces passing through that point. Real hypersurfaces in quaternionic space forms admit nice families of tangent planes, namely, totally real, half-quaternionic and quaternionic. Several definitions of axiom of planes arise naturally when we consider such families of tangent planes. We are able to classify real hypersurfaces in quaternionic space forms satisfying these definitions.

Ruled Real Hypersurfaces in a Nonflat Quaternionic Space Form

In this paper we construct many ruled real hypersurfaces in a nonflat quaternionic space form systematically, and in particular give an example of a homogeneous ruled real hypersurface in a quaternionic hyperbolic space. In the second half of this paper we characterize them by investigating the extrinsic shape of their geodesics. We also characterize curvature-adapted real hypersurfaces in nonflat quaternionic space forms from the same viewpoint.The first author was partially supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C) (No. 14540075), Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture.The second author was partially supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C) (No. 14540080), Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture.     

Minimal and Harmonic Unit Vector Fields in and Its Dual Space

 The complex two-plane Grassmannian carries a K?hler structure J and also a quaternionic K?hler structure ?. For we consider the classes of connected real hypersurfaces (M, g) with normal bundle such that and are invariant under the action of the shape operator. We prove that the corresponding unit Hopf vector fields on these hypersurfaces always define minimal immersions of (M, g), and harmonic maps from (M, g), into the unit tangent sphere bundle with Sasaki metric . The radial unit vector fields corresponding to the tubular hypersurfaces are also minimal and harmonic. Similar results hold for the dual space .

The moduli space of stable vector bundles over a real algebraic curve

We study the spaces of stable real and quaternionic vector bundles on a real algebraic curve. The basic relationship is established with unitary representations of an extension of \mathbbZ/2{\mathbb{Z}/2} by the fundamental group. By comparison with the space of real or quaternionic connections, some of the basic topological invariants of these spaces are calculated.

Three real hypersurfaces some of whose geodesics are mapped to circles with the same curvature in a nonflat complex space form

We characterize all totally η-umbilic hypersurfaces and ruled real hypersurfaces in nonflat complex space forms and certain real hypersurfaces of type (A₂) in complex projective spaces by using the property that some of their geodesics are mapped to circles of the same curvature in these ambient spaces.

Kaplansky Density and Kadison Transitivity Theorems for Irreducible Representations of Real C＊-Algebras

We prove analogs of the Kaplansky Density Theorem and the Kadison Transitivity Theorem for irreducible representations of a real C＊-algebra on a real Hilbert space. Specifically, if a C＊-algebra is acting irreducibly on a real Hilbert space, then the Hilbert space has either a real, complex, or quaternionic structure with respect to which the density and transitivity theorems hold.     

Upper bounds of the first eigenvalue of closed hypersurfaces by the quotient area/volume

In this paper we obtain, for compact hypersurfaces M embedded into Hadamard manifolds, an upper sharp bound of the first closed eigenvalue. This bound depends on the isoperimetric quotient Volume(M)/Volume(), where is the domain enclosed by M. More precise bounds are given when the ambient space is the complex or quaternionic hyperbolic space.     

On the tangential Cauchy‐Fueter operators on nondegenerate quadratic hypersurfaces in \documentclass{article}\usepackage{amssymb}\begin{document}\pagestyle{empty}${\mathbb {H}^2}$\end{document}

On quadratic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb {H}^2$, we find the explicit forms of tangential Cauchy‐Fueter operators and associated tangential Laplacians □_b. Then by using the Fourier transformation on the associated nilpotent Lie groups of step two, we construct the relative fundamental solutions to the tangential Laplacians and Szegö kernels on the nondegenerate quadratic hypersurfaces. It is different from the complex case that the quaternionic tangential structures on the nondegenerate quadratic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb {H}^2$ cannot be reduced to one standard model and the non‐homogeneous tangential Cauchy‐Fueter equations are solvable even in many convex cases.     

A characterization of totally <Emphasis Type="Italic">η</Emphasis>-umbilical real hypersurfaces and ruled real hypersurfaces of a complex space form

We give a characterization of totally η-umbilical real hypersurfaces and ruled real hypersurfaces of a complex space form in terms of totally umbilical condition for the holomorphic distribution on real hypersurfaces. We prove that if the shape operator A of a real hypersurface M of a complex space form M ⁿ (c), c ≠ 0, n ⩾ 3, satisfies g(AX, Y) = ag(X, Y) for any X, Y ∈ T ₀(x), a being a function, where T ₀ is the holomorphic distribution on M, then M is a totally η-umbilical real hypersurface or locally congruent to a ruled real hypersurface. This condition for the shape operator is a generalization of the notion of η-umbilical real hypersurfaces.     

L2-harmonic 1-forms on Complete Manifolds

We study the global behavior of complete minimal δ-stable hypersurfaces in R~(n+1) by using L~2-harmonic 1-forms.We show that a complete minimal δ-stable(δ (n-1)~2/n~2)hypersurface in R~(n+1) has only one end.We also obtain two vanishing theorems of complete noncompact quaternionic manifolds satisfying the weighted Poincar′e inequality.These results are improvements of the first author's theorems on hypersurfaces and quaternionic K¨ahler manifolds.
