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.

In an earlier article, B. Y. Chen established the following sharp general inequality: $$ \sigma(2)\le \frac{n^2{(n-2)}^2}{2(n^2-3n+4)}H^2 $$ for arbitrary $n$-dimensional conformally flat submanifolds in a Euclidean space, where $H^2$ denotes the squared mean curvature. The main purpose of this paper is to completely classify the extremal class of conformally flat submanifolds which satisfy the equality case of the above inequality. Our main result states that except open portions of totally geodesic $n$-planes, open portions of spherical hypercylinders and open portion of round hypercones, conformally flat submanifolds satifying the equality case of the inequality are obtained from some loci of $(n-2)$-spheres around some special coordinate-minimal surfaces.     

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.     

On canonical screen for lightlike submanifolds of codimension two

In this paper we study two classes of lightlike submanifolds of codimension two of semi-Riemannian manifolds, according as their radical subspaces are 1-dimensional or 2-dimensional. For a large variety of both these classes, we prove the existence of integrable canonical screen distributions subject to some reasonable geometric conditions and support the results through examples.      

Upper bounds for Steklov eigenvalues of submanifolds in Euclidean space via the intersection index

We obtain upper bounds for the Steklov eigenvalues ${\sigma }_k(M)$ of a smooth, compact, n-dimensional submanifold M of Euclidean space with boundary Σ that involve the intersection indices of M and of Σ. One of our main results is an explicit upper bound in terms of the intersection index of Σ, the volume of Σ and the volume of M as well as dimensional constants. By also taking the injectivity radius of Σ into account, we obtain an upper bound that has the optimal exponent of k with respect to the asymptotics of the Steklov eigenvalues as $k\to \infty$.

On extremal point distributions in the Euclidean plane

We ask for the maximum σ _n ^γ of Σ _i,j=1 ⁿ ‖x _i-x _j‖^γ, where x ₁,χ,x _n are points in the Euclidean plane R ² with ‖x_i-x_j‖ ≦1 for all 1≦ i,j ≦ n and where ‖.‖^γ denotes the γ-th power of the Euclidean norm, γ ≧ 1. (For γ =1 this question was stated by L. Fejes Tóth in [1].) We calculate the exact value of σ _n ^γ for all γ γ 1,0758χ and give the distributions which attain the maximum σ _n ^γ . Moreover we prove upper bounds for σ _n ^γ for all γ ≧ 1 and calculate the exact value of σ ₄ ^γ for all γ ≧ 1. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

On special submanifolds of the Page space

In this paper, we study some classes of submanifolds of codimension one and two in the Page space. These submanifolds are totally geodesic. We also compute their curvature and show that some of them are constant curvature spaces. Finally, we give information on how the Page space is related to some other metrics on the same underlying smooth manifold.     

A geometric characteristic splitting in all dimensions

We prove the existence of a geometric characteristic submanifold for non-positively curved manifolds of any dimension greater than or equal to three. In dimension three, our result is a geometric version of the topological characteristic submanifold theorem due to Jaco, Shalen and Johannson. Received: May 20, 1996     

Notes on pedal and contrapedal curves of fronts in the Euclidean plane

A pedal curve (a contrapedal curve) of a regular plane curve is the locus of the feet of the perpendiculars from a point to the tangents (normals) to the curve. These curves can be parametrized by using the Frenet frame of the curve. Yet provided that the curve has some singular points, the Frenet frame at these singular points is not well‐defined. Thus, we cannot use the Frenet frame to examine pedal or contrapedal curves. In this paper, pedal and contrapedal curves of plane curves, which have singular points, are investigated. By using the Legendrian Frenet frame along a front, the pedal and contrapedal curves of a front are introduced and properties of these curves are given. Then, the condition for a pedal (and a contrapedal) curve of a front to be a frontal is obtained. Furthermore, by considering the definitions of the evolute, the involute, and the offset of a front, some relationships are given. Finally, some illustrated examples are presented.

On submanifolds whose tubular hypersurfaces have constant higher order mean curvatures

Motivated by the theory of isoparametric hypersurfaces,we study submanifolds whose tubular hypersurfaces have some constant higher order mean curvatures.Here a k-th order mean curvature Q_k~v(k ≥ 1) of a submanifold M~n-is defined as the k-th power sum of the principal curvatures,or equivalently,of the shape operator with respect to the unit normal vector v.We show that if all nearby tubular hypersurfaces of M have some constant higher order mean curvatures,then the submanifold M itself has some constant higher order mean curvatures Q_k~v independent of the choice of v.Many identities involving higher order mean curvatures and Jacobi operators on such submanifolds are also obtained.In particular,we generalize several classical results in isoparametric theory given by E.Cartan,K.Nomizu,H.F.Miinzner,Q.M.Wang,et al.As an application,we finally get a geometrical filtration for the focal submanifolds of isoparametric functions on a complete Riemannian manifold.

On compact submanifolds of nonpositive external curvature in Riemannian spaces

In this paper we consider compact multidimensional surfaces of nonpositive external curvature in a Riemannian space. If the curvature of the underlying space is ≥ 1 and the curvature of the surface is ≤ 1, then in small codimension the surface is a totally geodesic submanifold that is locally isometric to the sphere. Under stricter restrictions on the curvature of the underlying space, the submanifold is globally isometric to the unit sphere.
