Minkowski空间中带超平面边界的紧致类空超曲面

In this paper, we study the relations between a compact spacelike hypersurface with hy-perplanar boundary in the (n 1)- dimensional Minkowski space-time L^n 1 being totally umbilicaland its hyperplanar boundary in a fixed hyperplane π of L^(n 1) being totally umbilical under certainconditions. We give the sufficient conditions for such hypersurface and its hyperplanar boundary tobe totally umbilical in their respective ambients.

Stability index jump for constant mean curvature hypersurfaces of spheres

It is known that the totally umbilical hypersurfaces in the (n + 1)-dimensional spheres are characterized as the only hypersurfaces with weak stability index 0. That is, a compact hypersurface with constant mean curvature, cmc, in S ⁿ⁺¹, different from an Euclidean sphere, must have stability index greater than or equal to 1. In this paper we prove that the weak stability index of any non-totally umbilical compact hypersurface ${M \subset S^{{n+1}}}$ with cmc cannot take the values 1, 2, 3 . . . , n.     

REMARKS ON HYPERSURFACES WITH CONSTANT MEAN CURVATURE IN A HIGHER DIMENSIONAL PSEUDO-SPHERE

A necessary condition to be satisfied by the metric of an n-manifold minimally immersed in an (n+1)-pseudo-sphere is obtained, and a sufficient condition for a complete hypersurface in a pseudo-sphere with constant mean curvature to be totally umbilical is given.     

Width of convex bodies in spaces of constant curvature

We consider the measure of points, the measure of lines and the measure of planes intersecting a given convex body K in a space form. We obtain some integral formulas involving the width of K and the curvature of its boundary ∂K. Also we study the special case of constant width. Moreover we obtain a generalisation of the Heintze–Karcher inequality to space forms.

SUBMANIFOLDS OF A HIGHER DIMENSIONAL SPHERE

Let M be an m-dimensional manifold immersed in S~(m+k)(r).Then △X=μH-(m/r~2)X,where X is the position vector of M and H is a unit normal vector field which is orthogonalto X everywhere.If M is a compact connected manifold with parallel mean curvature vector field ξimmersed inS~(m+k)(r),and the sectional curvature of M is not less than (1/2)((1/r~2)+|ξ|~2),thenM is a small sphere.For a compact connected hypersurface M in S~(m+1)(r),if the sectional curvature is non-nesative and the scalar curvature is proportional to the mean curvature everywhere,then M isa totally umbilical hypersurface or the multiplication of two totally umbilical submanifolds.

Submanifolds with Flat Normal Bundle

Let M be a compact orientable submanifold immersed in a Riemannian manifold of constant curvature with flat normal bundle. This paper gives intrinsic conditions for M to be totally umbilical or a local product of several totally umbilical submanifolds. It is proved especially that a compact hypersurface in the Euclidean space with constant scalar curvature and nonnegative Ricci curvature is a sphere.

On the problem of isometry of a hypersurface preserving mean curvature

The problem of determining the Bonnet hypersurfaces in R ⁿ⁺¹, for n > 1, is studied here. These hypersurfaces are by definition those that can be isometrically mapped to another hypersurface or to itself (as locus) by at least one nontrivial isometry preserving the mean curvature. The other hypersurface and/or (the locus of) itself is called Bonnet associate of the initial hypersurface. The orthogonal net which is called A-net is special and very important for our study and it is described on a hypersurface. It is proved that, non-minimal hypersurface in R ⁿ⁺¹ with no umbilical points is a Bonnet hypersurface if and only if it has an A-net.     

Totally umbilical manifolds inG(2,n). I

It is well known that every totally umbilical submanifold of a space of constant curvature is either a small sphere or is totally geodesic. B.-Y. Chen has classified totally umbilical submanifolds of compact, rank one, symmetric spaces ([4], [5]): in particular, they are all extrinsic spheres, that is, they have a parallel mean curvature vector H (or are totally geodesic). In this paper totally umbilical submanifolds F^l of dimension l 3 are classified in the irreducible symmetric space that is "next in complexity": Grassmann manifold G(2, n). Such submanifolds are either 1) totally geodesic [3] or 2) extrinsic spheres [small spheres in totally geodesic spheres; their position in G(2, n) is described here] or 3) essentially totally umbilical (H 0, H 0). If the submanifold is of type 3), then it is either a) an umbilical hypersurface of nonconstant mean curvature in totally geodesic S¹ × S¹ G(2, n) or b) an "oblique diagonal," a diagonal of the product of two small spheres of different radii in totally geodesic S^l+1 × S^l+1 G(2, n) (it has constant mean and sectional curvatures). Submanifolds 3a) and 3b) are described completely. The latter of the two negates two of Chen's conjectures. It is shown that submanifold F^l E^l+2 (l 3) with a totally umbilical Grassmannian image has a totally geodesic Grassmannian image and is classifiable [11].Translated from Ukrainskii Geometricheskii Sbornik, No. 34, pp. 83–98, 1991.     

On the geometry of linear Weingarten hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space

In this paper, we apply some forms of generalized maximum principles in order to study the geometry of complete linear Weingarten hypersurfaces with nonnegative sectional curvature immersed in the hyperbolic space. In this setting, under the assumption that the mean curvature attains its maximum, we prove that such a hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or isometric to a hyperbolic cylinder.     

GENERALIZED CIRCLES AND THEIR CONFORMAL MAPPING IN A SUBSPACE OF A WEYL SPACE

The authors give the necessary and sufficient conditions for a generalized circle in a Weyl hypersurface to be generalized circle in the enveloping Weyl space. They then obtain the neccessary and sufficient conditions under which a generalized concircular transformation of one Weyl space onto another induces a generalized transformation oil its subspaces. Finally, it is shown that any totally geodesic or totally umbilical hypersurface of a generalized concircularly flat Weyl space is also generalized concircularly flat.

Contact Hypersurfaces of a Bochner–Kaehler Manifold

We have studied contact metric hypersurfaces of a Bochner–Kaehler manifold and obtained the following two results: (1) a contact metric constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurface of a Bochner–Kaehler manifold is a (k, μ)-contact manifold, and (2) if M is a compact contact metric CMC hypersurface of a Bochner–Kaehler manifold with a conformal vector field V that is neither tangential nor normal anywhere, then it is totally umbilical and Sasakian, and under certain conditions on V, is isometric to a unit sphere.     

Evolution of convex hypersurfaces by powers of the mean curvature

We study the evolution of a closed, convex hypersurface in ℝⁿ⁺¹ in direction of its normal vector, where the speed equals a positive power k of the mean curvature. We show that the flow exists on a maximal, finite time interval, and that, approaching the final time, the surfaces contract to a point.

A compact minimal shadow boundary in Euclidean space is totally geodesic

We prove that a compact minimal shadow boundary of a hypersurface in Euclidean space is totally geodesic. We show that shadow boundaries detect principal directions and umbilical points of a hypersurface. As application we deduce that every shadow boundary of a compact strictly convex surface contains at least two principal directions.     

Relative mean curvature configurations for surfaces in ℝ<Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Superscript>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> ≥ 5

We define the relative mean curvature directions on surfaces immersed in ℝⁿ, n ≥ 4, generalizing the concept of mean curvature directions for surfaces in 4-space studied by Mello. We obtain their differential equations and study their corresponding generic configurations. *Work partially supported by DGCYT grant no.

Prescribed Mean Curvature Hypersurfaces in Hn+1(-1) with Convex Planar Boundary, I

We study immersed prescribed mean curvature compact hypersurfaces with boundary in Hⁿ⁺¹(-1). When the boundary is a convex planar smooth manifold with all principal curvatures greater than 1, we solve a nonparametric Dirichlet problem and use this, together with a general flux formula, to prove a parametric uniqueness result, in the class of all immersed compact hypersurfaces with the same boundary. We specialize this result to a constant mean curvature, obtaining a characterization of totally umbilic hypersurface caps.
