The Maslov form in non-invariant slant submanifolds of S-space-forms

We present a characterization theorem for the Maslov form in certain non-invariant slant submanifolds of S-space-forms to be closed and, from it, we deduce a topological obstruction for these types of non-invariant slant immersions. Moreover, we also give conditions for an anti-invariant submanifolds of an S-manifold, tangent to the structure vector fields, to have closed and conformal Maslov form.     

Some slant submanifolds of <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>-manifolds

Summary We study some special types of slant submanifolds of S-manifolds related to the second fundamental form of the immersion: totally f-geodesic and f-umbilical, pseudo-umbilical and austere submanifolds. We also give several examples of such submanifolds.     

Submanifolds of generalized $$(k,\mu )$$-space-forms

In this paper, we have studied submanifolds especially, totally umbilical submanifolds of generalized \((k,\mu )\)-space-forms. We have found a necessary and sufficient condition for such submanifolds to be either invariant or anti-invariant. It is also shown that every totally umbilical submanifold of a generalized \((k,\mu )\)-space-form is a pseudo quasi-Einstein manifold.     

Interaction of Legendre curves and Lagrangian submanifolds

It is proved in [8] that there exist no totally umbilical Lagrangian submanifolds in a complex-space-form ,n≥2, except the totally geodesic ones. In this paper we introduce the notion of LagrangianH-umbilical submanifolds which are the “simplest” Lagrangian submanifolds next to the totally geodesic ones in complex-space-forms. We show that for each Legendre curve in a 3-sphereS ³ (respectively, in a 3-dimensional antide Sitter space-timeH ₁ ³ ), there associates a LagrangianH-umbilical submanifold in ℂP ⁿ (respectively, in ℂH ⁿ ) via warped products. The main part of this paper is devoted to the classification of LagrangianH-umbilical submanifolds in ℂP ⁿ and in ℂH ⁿ . Our classification theorems imply in particular that “except some exceptional classes”, LagrangianH-umbilical submanifolds of ℂP ⁿ and of ℂH ⁿ are obtained from Legendre curves inS ³ or inH ₁ ³ via warped products. This provides us an interesting interaction of Legendre curves and LagrangianH-umbilical submanifolds in non-flat complex-space-forms. As an immediate by-product, our results provide us many concrete examples of LagrangianH-umbilical isometric immersions of real-space-forms into non-flat complex-space-forms.     

A note on slant submanifolds of nearly trans-Sasakian manifolds

The geometry of slant submanifolds of a nearly trans-Sasakian manifold is studied when the tensor field Q is parallel. It is proved that Q is not parallel on the submanifold unless it is anti-invariant and thus the result of [CABRERIZO, J. L.—CARRIAZO, A.—FERNANDEZ, L. M.—FERNANDEZ, M.: Slant submanifolds in Sasakian manifolds, Glasg. Math. J. 42 (2000), 125–138] and [GUPTA, R. S.—KHURSHEED HAIDER, S. M.—SHARFUDIN, A.: Slant submanifolds of a trans-Sasakian manifold, Bull. Math. Soc. Sci. Math. Roumanie (N.S.) 47 (2004), 45–57] are generalized.     

On spectral geometry of minimal parallel submanifolds

We consider the problem of characterizing some minimal submanifolds using the spectrum⁰Spec of the Laplace-Beltrami operator acting on fucntions. In particular we characterize then-dimensional compact minimal totally real parallel submanifolds immersed in the complex projective spaceCP ⁿ, 3≤n≤6, by their⁰Spec in the class of all compact totally real minimal submanifolds ofCP ⁿ. Moreover, we characterize the Clifford torus by its⁰Spec in the class of all compact minimal submanifolds of the Euclidean sphereS ⁿ⁺¹(1).

Moduli spaces of vector bundles over a Klein surface

A compact topological surface S, possibly non-orientable and with non-empty boundary, always admits a Klein surface structure (an atlas whose transition maps are dianalytic). Its complex cover is, by definition, a compact Riemann surface M endowed with an anti-holomorphic involution which determines topologically the original surface S. In this paper, we compare dianalytic vector bundles over S and holomorphic vector bundles over M, devoting special attention to the implications that this has for moduli varieties of semistable vector bundles over M. We construct, starting from S, totally real, totally geodesic, Lagrangian submanifolds of moduli varieties of semistable vector bundles of fixed rank and degree over M. This relates the present work to the constructions of Ho and Liu over non-orientable compact surfaces with empty boundary (Ho and Liu in Commun Anal Geom 16(3):617–679, 2008).     

Complete submanifolds in Euclidean spaces¶with parallel mean curvature vector

In this paper, we prove that n-dimensional complete and connected submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector H in the (n+p)-dimensional Euclidean space E ^{n + p} are the totally geodesic Euclidean space E ⁿ , the totally umbilical sphere S ⁿ (c) or the generalized cylinder S ^{n − 1} (c) ×E ¹ if the second fundamental form h satisfies <h>²≤n ²|H|²/ (n− 1).

On semigroups admitting ring structure

A right-chain semigroup is a semigroup whose right ideals are totally ordered by set inclusion. The main result of this paper says that if S is a right-chain semigroup admitting a ring structure, then either S is a null semigroup with two elements or sS=S for some s∈S. Using this we give an elementary proof of Oman’s characterization of semigroups admitting a ring structure whose subsemigroups (containing zero) form a chain. We also apply this result, along with two other results proved in this paper, to show that no nontrivial multiplicative bounded interval semigroup on the real line ℝ admits a ring structure, obtaining the main results of Kemprasit et al. (ScienceAsia 36: 85–88, 2010).     

Hypersurfaces through higher-codimensional submanifolds of ℂ n with preserved Levi-kernelwith preserved Levi-kernel

For a “generic” submanifoldS of a complex manifoldX, we show that there exists a hypersurfaceM⊃S which has the same number of negative (or positive) Levi-eigenvalues asS at one prescribed conormal (cf. also [9]). When ranksL _S is constant, thenM may be found such thatL _M andL _S have the same number of negative eigenvalues at any common conormal. Assuming the existence of a hypersurfaceM with the above property, we then discuss the link between complex submanifolds ofS whose tangent plane belongs to the null-space of the Levi-formL _S ofS (of all complex submanifolds whenL _S is semi-definite), and complex submanifolds ofT _S ^* X. As an application we give a simple result on propagation of microanalyticity for CR-hyperfunctions along complex,L _S -null, curves (cf. [3]).     

The characterization of totally geodesic submanifolds ofS m andCP m

We prove a theorem on ruled surfaces that generalizes a theorem of Ferus on totally geodesic foliations. On the basis of this theorem we obtain criteria for totally geodesic submanifolds ofS ^m andCP ^m that generalize and complement certain results of Borisenko, Ferus, and Abe. We give an application to the geodesic differential forms defined by Dombrowski in the case of submanifolds ofS ^m andCP ^m.Translated from Ukrainskií Geometricheskií Sbornik, Issue 28, 1985, pp. 106–116.The author is grateful to V. A. Toponogov for posing this problem and for attention to the work and to A. A. Borisenko for helpful criticisms.     

BMO-scale of distribution on ℝ n

Let S′ be the class of tempered distributions. For ƒ ∈ S′ we denote by J ^−α ƒ the Bessel potential of ƒ of order α. We prove that if J ^−α ƒ ∈ BMO, then for any λ ∈ (0, 1), J ^−α (f)_λ ∈ BMO, where (f)_λ = λ⁻ⁿ f(φ(λ⁻¹)), φ ∈ S. Also, we give necessary and sufficient conditions in order that the Bessel potential of a tempered distribution of order α > 0 belongs to the VMO space.     

Calibrated Subbundles in Noncompact Manifolds of Special Holonomy

This paper is a continuation of Math. Res. Lett. 12 (2005), 493–512. We first construct special Lagrangian submanifolds of the Ricci-flat Stenzel metric (of holonomy SU(n)) on the cotangent bundle of Sⁿ by looking at the conormal bundle of appropriate submanifolds of Sⁿ. We find that the condition for the conormal bundle to be special Lagrangian is the same as that discovered by Harvey–Lawson for submanifolds in Rⁿ in their pioneering paper, Acta Math. 148 (1982), 47–157. We also construct calibrated submanifolds in complete metrics with special holonomy G₂ and Spin(7) discovered by Bryant and Salamon (Duke Math. J. 58 (1989), 829–850) on the total spaces of appropriate bundles over self-dual Einstein four manifolds. The submanifolds are constructed as certain subbundles over immersed surfaces. We show that this construction requires the surface to be minimal in the associative and Cayley cases, and to be (properly oriented) real isotropic in the coassociative case. We also make some remarks about using these constructions as a possible local model for the intersection of compact calibrated submanifolds in a compact manifold with special holonomy.

Ortho-u-monoids

In this paper, we study the class of ortho-u-monoids which are generalized orthogroups within the class of E(S)-semiabundant semigroups. After introducing the concept of (∼)-Green’s relations, and obtaining some important properties of (∼)-Green’s relations and super E(S)-semiabundant semigroups, we have given the semilattice decomposition of ortho-u-monoids and a structure theorem for regular ortho-u-monoids. The main techniques that we used in the study are the (∼)-Green’s relations, and the semi-spined product of semigroups.     

Improved Chen–Ricci inequality for curvature-like tensors and its applications

We present Chen–Ricci inequality and improved Chen–Ricci inequality for curvature like tensors. Applying our improved Chen–Ricci inequality we study Lagrangian and Kaehlerian slant submanifolds of complex space forms, and C-totally real submanifolds of Sasakian space forms.     

Topology of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ϕ</Emphasis>-convex domains in calibrated manifolds

In [5], Harvey and Lawson showed that for any calibration ϕ there is an integer bound for the homotopy dimension of a strictly ϕ-convex domain and constructed a method to get these domains by using ϕ-free submanifolds. Here, we show how to get examples of ϕ-free submanifolds with different homotopy types for the quaternion calibration in ℍ ⁿ , associative calibration, and coassociative calibration in G ₂ manifolds. Hence we give examples of strictly ϕ-convex domains with different homotopy types allowed by Morse Theory.     

Totally geodesic submanifolds in Lie groups

Summary We study minimal and totally geodesic submanifolds in Lie groups and related problems. We show that: (1) The imbedding of the Grassmann manifold G_F(n,N) in the Lie group G_F(N) defined naturally makes G_F(n,N) a totally geodesic submanifold; (2) The imbedding S⁷→SO(8) defined by octonians makes S⁷a totally geodesic submanifold inSO(8); (3) The natural inclusion of the Lie group G_F(N) in the sphere S^{cN^2-1}(√N) of gl(N,F)is minimal. Therefore the natural imbedding G_F(N)<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Sans Unicode"'>→gl(N,F)is formed by the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on G_F(N).     

Banaschewski’s theorem for generalized <Emphasis Type="Italic">MV</Emphasis>-algebras

A generalized MV-algebra A is called representable if it is a subdirect product of linearly ordered generalized MV-algebras. Let S be the system of all congruence relations ϱ on A such that the quotient algebra A/ϱ is representable. In the present paper we prove that the system S has a least element.
