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.

A complete classification of Blaschke parallel submanifolds with vanishing Mbius form

The Blaschke tensor and the Mbius form are two of the fundamental invariants in the Mobius geometry of submanifolds;an umbilic-free immersed submanifold in real space forms is called Blaschke parallel if its Blaschke tensor is parallel.We prove a theorem which,together with the known classification result for Mobius isotropic submanifolds,successfully establishes a complete classification of the Blaschke parallel submanifolds in S~n with vanishing Mobius form.Before doing so,a broad class of new examples of general codimensions is explicitly constructed.     

Immersed Hypersurfaces in the Unit Sphere S^m＋1 with Constant Blaschke Eigenvalues

For an immersed submanifold x ： M^m→ Sn in the unit sphere S^n without umbilics, an eigenvalue of the Blaschke tensor of x is called a Blaschke eigenvalue of x. It is interesting to determine all hypersurfaces in Sn with constant Blaschke eigenvalues. In this paper, we are able to classify all immersed hypersurfaces in S^m＋1 with vanishing MSbius form and constant Blaschke eigenvalues, in case （1） x has exact two distinct Blaschke eigenvalues, or （2） m = 3. With these classifications, some interesting examples are also presented.     

Möbius hypersurfaces in S S+1with three distinct principal curvatures

On a hypersurface of a unit sphere without umbilical points, we know that three Möbius invariants can be defined and analogous to Euclidean case, we have the concepts of Möbius isoparametric and isotropic hypersurfaces. In this paper, we study the relationship between Euclidean geometry and Möbius geometry, and prove that a hypersurface in a sphere with constant length of the second fundamental form is Euclidean isoparametric if and only if it is Möbius isoparametric. When restricting to the case of three distinct principal curvatures, we show that such a hypersurface is either Möbius isoparametric or isotropic if the Blaschke tensor has constant eigenvalues.     

Möbius homogeneous hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in S n+1

The purpose of this paper is to classify the Möbius homogeneous hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in S ⁿ⁺¹ under the Möbius transformation group. Additionally, we give a classification of the Möbius homogeneous hypersurfaces in S ⁴.     

Blaschke Dupin hypersurfaces and equiaffine tubes

We give constructions of Blaschke Dupin hypersurfaces and a Blaschke isoparametric ones in terms of the notion of an equiaffine tube. In particular, the construction of Blaschke isoparametric hypersurfaces includes the Calabi-type composition of improper affine spheres (or an improper one and a proper one).

Spacelike Möbius Hypersurfaces in Four Dimensional Lorentzian Space Form

In this paper, we first set up an alternative fundamental theory of Möbius geometry for any umbilic-free spacelike hypersurfaces in four dimensional Lorentzian space form, and prove the hypersurfaces can be determined completely by a system consisting of a function W and a tangent frame {E_i}. Then we give a complete classification for spacelike Möbius homogeneous hypersurfaces in four dimensional Lorentzian space form. They are either Möbius equivalent to spacelike Dupin hypersurfaces or to some cylinders constructed from logarithmic curves and hyperbolic logarithmic spirals. Some of them have parallel para-Blaschke tensors with non-vanishing Möbius form.     

On Möbius form and Möbius isoparametric hypersurfaces

An umbilic-free hypersurface in the unit sphere is called MSbius isoparametric if it satisfies two conditions, namely, it has vanishing MSbius form and has constant MSbius principal curvatures. In this paper, under the condition of having constant MSbius principal curvatures, we show that the hypersurface is of vanishing MSbius form if and only if its MSbius form is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of its MSbius metric. Moreover, typical examples are constructed to show that the condition of having constant MSbius principal curvatures and that of having vanishing MSbius form are independent of each other.

Willmore hypersurfaces with constant Möbius curvature in R n+1

For an immersed hypersurface ${f : M^n \rightarrow R^{n+1}}$ without umbilical points, one can define the Möbius metric g on f which is invariant under the Möbius transformation group. The volume functional of g is a generalization of the well-known Willmore functional, whose critical points are called Willmore hypersurfaces. In this paper, we prove that if a n-dimensional Willmore hypersurfaces ${(n \geq 3)}$ has constant sectional curvature c with respect to g, then c = 0, n = 3, and this Willmore hypersurface is Möbius equivalent to the cone over the Clifford torus in ${S^{3} \subset R^{4}}$ . Moreover, we extend our previous classification of hypersurfaces with constant Möbius curvature of dimension ${n \ge 4}$ to n = 3, showing that they are cones over the homogeneous torus ${S^1(r) \times S^1(\sqrt{1 - r^2}) \subset S^3}$ , or cylinders, cones, rotational hypersurfaces over certain spirals in the space form R ², S ², H ², respectively.     

Classification of hypersurfaces with parallel Möbius second fundamental form in <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis><Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>+1</Superscript>

Let M ⁿ(n ≥ 2) be an immersed umbilic-free hypersurface in the (n+1)-dimensional unit sphere S ⁿ⁺¹. Then M ⁿ is associated with a so-called Möbius metric g, and a Möbius second fundamental form B which are invariants of M ⁿunder the Möbius transformation group of S ⁿ⁺¹. In this paper, we classify all umbilic-free hypersurfaces with parallel Möbius second fundamental form.     

Möbius Isoparametric Hypersurfaces in S n+1 with Two Distinct Principal Curvatures

A hypersurface x : M → S ⁿ⁺¹ without umbilic point is called a Möbius isoparametric hypersurface if its Möbius form Φ = ?ρ ^?2∑ _i (e _i (H) + ∑ _j (h _ij ?Hδ _ij )e _j (log ρ))θ _i vanishes and its Möbius shape operator $ {\Bbb {S}}A hypersurface x : M → S ^{n +1} without umbilic point is called a M?bius isoparametric hypersurface if its M?bius form Φ = −ρ⁻²∑ _i (e _i (H) + ∑ _j (h _ij −Hδ _ij )e _j (log ρ))θ _i vanishes and its M?bius shape operator ? = ρ⁻¹(S−Hid) has constant eigenvalues. Here {e _i } is a local orthonormal basis for I = dx·dx with dual basis {θ _i }, II = ∑ _ij h _ij θ _i ⊗θ _i is the second fundamental form, and S is the shape operator of x. It is clear that any conformal image of a (Euclidean) isoparametric hypersurface in S ^{n +1} is a M?bius isoparametric hypersurface, but the converse is not true. In this paper we classify all M?bius isoparametric hypersurfaces in S ^{n +1} with two distinct principal curvatures up to M?bius transformations. By using a theorem of Thorbergsson [1] we also show that the number of distinct principal curvatures of a compact M?bius isoparametric hypersurface embedded in S ^{n +1} can take only the values 2, 3, 4, 6.

A matricial computation of rational quadrature formulas on the unit circle

A matricial computation of quadrature formulas for orthogonal rational functions on the unit circle, is presented in this paper. The nodes of these quadrature formulas are the zeros of the para-orthogonal rational functions with poles in the exterior of the unit circle and the weights are given by the corresponding Christoffel numbers. We show how these nodes can be obtained as the eigenvalues of the operator Möbius transformations of Hessenberg matrices and also as the eigenvalues of the operator Möbius transformations of five-diagonal matrices, recently obtained. We illustrate the preceding results with some numerical examples.     

Trees and ultrametric Möbius structures

We define the concept of an ultrametric Möbius space (Z,M) and show that the boundary at infinity of a nonelementary geodesically complete tree is naturally an ultrametric Möbius space. In addition, we construct to a given ultrametric Möbius space (Z,M) a nonelementary geodesically complete tree, unique up to isometry, with (Z,M) being its boundary at infinity. This yields a one-to-one correspondence.     

Catégories de Möbius et fonctorialités: un cadre général pour l'inversion de Möbius

This paper proposes a general setting for Möbius inversion which includes the cases of locally finite partially ordered sets and monoids with the finite decomposition property (f.d.p.). The unifying concept is that of categories with the f.d.p., called Möbius categories, which we characterize in four different ways. The established theory of incidence algebras, Möbius functions, product formulas, reduced algebras, etc., is carried over. Furthermore, the study of functors between Möbius categories yields results in two directions: firstly, inspired from the substitution of formal power series is the construction of a homomorphism between incidence algebras which allows the transfer of Möbius inversions; secondly, surjective functors often give rise to a reduced incidence algebra, thus shedding new light on many important reduced algebras in combinatorial theory.
