Convergence and finite determination of formal CR mappings

It is shown that a formal mapping between two real-analytic hypersurfaces in complex space is convergent provided that neither hypersurface contains a nontrivial holomorphic variety. For higher codimensional generic submanifolds, convergence is proved e.g. under the assumption that the source is of finite type, the target does not contain a nontrivial holomorphic variety, and the mapping is finite. Finite determination (by jets of a predetermined order) of formal mappings between smooth generic submanifolds is also established.

     

Certain condition on the second fundamental form of CR submanifolds of maximal CR dimension of complex Euclidean space

We treat m-dimensional real submanifolds M of complex space forms ̿M when the maximal holomorphic tangent subspace is (m−1)-dimensional. On these manifolds there exists an almost contact structure F which is naturally induced from the ambient space and in this paper we study the condition h(FX,Y)−h(X,FY) = g(FX,Y)η, η∊ T⊥(M), on the structure F and on the second fundamental form h of these submanifolds. Especially when the ambient space ̿M is a complex Euclidean space, we obtain a complete classification of submanifolds M which satisfy these conditions.Mathematics Subject Classifications (2000): 53C15, 53C40, 53B20.     

Certain CR submanifolds of maximal CR dimension of complex space forms

We study m-dimensional real submanifolds with (m−1)-dimensional maximal holomorphic tangent subspace in complex space forms. On such a manifold there exists an almost contact structure which is naturally induced from the ambient space and in this paper we study the anti-commutative condition of the almost contact structure and the second fundamental form of these submanifolds and we characterize certain model spaces in complex space forms.     

Codimension reduction and second fundamental form of CR submanifolds in complex space forms

Considering n-dimensional real submanifolds M of a complex space form which are CR submanifolds of CR dimension , we study the condition h(FX,Y)+h(X,FY)=0 on the structure tensor F naturally induced from the almost complex structure J of the ambient manifold and on the second fundamental form h of submanifolds M.     

Parallel submanifolds of complex projective space and their normal holonomy

The object of this article is to compute the holonomy group of the normal connection of complex parallel submanifolds of the complex projective space. We also give a new proof of the classification of complex parallel submanifolds by using a normal holonomy approach. Indeed, we explain how these submanifolds can be regarded as the unique complex orbits of the (projectivized) isotropy representation of an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space. Moreover, we show how these important submanifolds are related to other areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. Finally, we state a conjecture about the normal holonomy group of a complete and full complex submanifold of the complex projective space.

Sharp Estimates for the Size of Balls in the Complement of a Hypersurface

In this paper, we make estimates for the radius of balls contained in some component of the complementary of a complete hypersurface into a space form, generalizing and improving analogous radius estimates for embedded compact hypersurfaces obtained by Blaschke, Koutroufiotis and the authors. The results are obtained using an algebraic lemma and a tangency principle related with the length of the second fundamental form. The algebraic lemma also is used to improve a result for graphs due to Hasanis–Vlachos. The first author dedicates this work to his parents José (in memoriam) and Herondina     

CR submanifolds in a sphere and their Gauss maps

Rigidity of proper holomorphic mappings between equidimensional bounded symmetric domains

We prove that any proper holomorphic mapping between two equidimensional irreducible bounded symmetric domains with rank is a biholomorphism. The proof of the main result in this paper will be achieved by a differential-geometric study of a special class of complex geodesic curves on the bounded symmetric domains with respect to their Bergman metrics.

     

CR extension from hypersurfaces of higher type

We prove extension of CR functions from a hypersurface M of CN in presence of the so-called sector property. If M has finite type in the Bloom-Graham sense, then our result is already contained in [C. Rea, Prolongement holomorphe des fonctions CR, conditions suffisantes, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris 297 (1983) 163-166] by Rea. We think however, that the argument of our proof carries an expressive geometric meaning and deserves interest on its own right. Also, our method applies in some case to hypersurfaces of infinite type; note that for these, the classical methods fail. CR extension is treated by many authors mainly in two frames: extension in directions of iterated of commutators of CR vector fields (cf., for instance, [A. Boggess, J. Pitts, CR extension near a point of higher type, Duke Math. J. 52 (1) (1985) 67-102; A. Boggess, J.C. Polking, Holomorphic extension of CR functions, Duke Math. J. 49 (1982) 757-784. [4]; M.S. Baouendi, L. Rothschild, Normal forms for generic manifolds and holomorphic extension of CR functions, J. Differential Geom. 25 (1987) 431-467. [1]]); extension through minimality towards unprecised directions [A.E. Tumanov, Extension of CR-functions into a wedge, Mat. Sb. 181 (7) (1990) 951-964. [6]; A.E. Tumanov, Analytic discs and the extendibility of CR functions, in: Integral Geometry, Radon Transforms and Complex Analysis, Venice, 1996, in: Lecture Notes in Math., vol. 1684, Springer, Berlin, 1998, pp. 123-141].     

Analytic sets and the boundary regularity of CR mappings

Complete space-like submanifolds in locally symmetric semi-definite spaces

The purpose of this paper is to study complete space-like submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector and flat normal bundle in a locally symmetric semi-defnite space satisfying some curvature conditions. We first give an optimal estimate of the Laplacian of the squared norm of the second fundamental form for such submanifold. Furthermore, the totally umbilical submanifolds are characterized     

Homology vanishing theorems for submanifolds

We relate intrinsic and extrinsic curvature invariants to the homology groups of submanifolds in space forms of nonnegative curvature. More precisely, we provide bounds for the squared length of the second fundamental form, or the Ricci curvature in terms of the mean curvature, which force homology to vanish in a range of intermediate dimensions. Moreover, we give examples which show that these conditions are sharp.

     

On rigidity of Clifford torus in a unit sphere

We extend the scalar curvature pinching theorems due to Peng-Terng, Wei-Xu and Suh-Yang. Let M be an n-dimensional compact minimal hypersurface in S n+1 satisfying Sf 4 f_3~2 ≤ 1/n S~3 , where S is the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M, and f_k =sum λ_i~k from i and λ_i (1 ≤ i ≤ n) are the principal curvatures of M. We prove that there exists a positive constant δ(n)(≥ n/2) depending only on n such that if n ≤ S ≤ n + δ(n), then S ≡ n, i.e., M is one of the Clifford torus S~k ((k/n)~1/2 ) ×S~...     

On holomorphic immersions into K(a)hler manifolds of constant holomorphic sectional curvature

We study holomorphic immersions f: X → M from a complex manifold X into a Kahler manifold of constant holomorphic sectional curvature M, i.e. a complex hyperbolic space form, a complex Euclidean space form, or the complex projective space equipped with the Fubini-Study metric. For X compact we show that the tangent sequence splits holomorphically if and only if f is a totally geodesic immersion. For X not necessarily compact we relate an intrinsic cohomological invariant p(X) on X, viz. the invariant defined by Gunning measuring the obstruction to the existence of holomorphic projective connections, to an extrinsic cohomological invariant v(f)measuring the obstruction to the holomorphic splitting of the tangent sequence. The two invariants p(X) and v(f) are related by a linear map on cohomology groups induced by the second fundamental form.In some cases, especially when X is a complex surface and M is of complex dimension 4, under the assumption that X admits a holomorphic projective connection we obtain a sufficient condition for the holomorphic splitting of the tangent sequence in terms of the second fundamental form.

An estimate of the pinching constant of minimal hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in the unit sphere

LetM ⁿ (n>3) be a closed minimal hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in the unit sphereS ⁿ⁺¹ (1) andS the square of the length of its second fundamental form. In this paper we prove thatS>n implies estimates of the formS>n+cn−d withc≥1/4. For example, forn>17 andS>n we proveS>n+1/4n which is sharper than a recent result of the authors [5] The second author's research was supported by NNSFC, FECC and CPSF.     

GEOMETRIC PROPERTIES FOR GAUSSIAN IMAGE OF SUBMANIFOLDS IN S^n＋p（1）

On the Blaschke isoparametric hypersurfaces in the unit sphere

Given an immersed submanifold x ： M^M → S^n in the unit sphere S^n without umbilics, a Blaschke eigenvalue of x is by definition an eigenvalue of the Blaschke tensor of x. x is called Blaschke isoparametric if its Mobius form vanishes identically and all of its Blaschke eigenvalues are constant. Then the classification of Blaschke isoparametric hypersurfaces is natural and interesting in the MSbius geometry of submanifolds. When n = 4, the corresponding classification theorem was given by the authors. In this paper, we are able to complete the corresponding classification for n = 5. In particular, we shall prove that all the Blaschke isoparametric hypersurfaces in S^5 with more than two distinct Blaschke eigenvalues are necessarily Mobius isoparametric.
