Classification of Lorentzian surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector in pseudo-Euclidean spaces

Spatial surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector in pseudo-Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension and index were classified by B.Y. Chen. In this work, we give a complete classification of Lorentzian surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector in pseudo-Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension and index. Consequently, the problem to classify all the surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector in pseudo-Euclidean spaces has been solved.     

Flat homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds

The complete homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of constant non-zero curvature were classified up to isometry in 1961 [1]. In the same year, a structure theory [2] was developed for complete flat homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Here that structure theory is sharpened to a classification. This completes the classification of complete homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of arbitrary constant curvature.Research partially supported by N.S.F. Grant DMS 93 21285.     

Classification of marginally trapped Lorentzian flat surfaces in and its application to biharmonic surfaces

A surface in a semi-Riemannian manifold is called marginally trapped if its mean curvature vector field is light-like at each point. In this article, we classify marginally trapped Lorentzian flat surfaces in the pseudo-Euclidean space . As an application, we obtain the complete classification of biharmonic Lorentzian surfaces in with light-like mean curvature vector.

A Bernstein theorem for complete spacelike constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Minkowski space

We obtain a gradient estimate for the Gauss maps from complete spacelike constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Minkowski space into the hyperbolic space. As an application, we prove a Bernstein theorem which says that if the image of the Gauss map is bounded from one side, then the spacelike constant mean curvature hypersurface must be linear. This result extends the previous theorems obtained by B. Palmer [Pa] and Y.L. Xin [Xin1] where they assume that the image of the Gauss map is bounded. We also prove a Bernstein theorem for spacelike complete surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector in four-dimensional spaces. Received July 4, 1997 / Accepted October 9, 1997

Screw invariant marginally trapped surfaces in Minkowski 4-space

A spacelike surface in a Lorentzian manifold whose mean curvature vector is lightlike everywhere is called marginally trapped. The classification of marginally trapped surfaces in Minkowski 4-space which are invariant under a subgroup of the Lorentz group that leaves invariant a lightlike direction, i.e. the so-called screw invariant surfaces, is obtained. As corollaries, the screw invariant marginally trapped surfaces with harmonic mean curvature vector and with prescribed Gaussian curvature are explicitly described.

Hopf hypersurfaces in pseudo-Riemannian complex and para-complex space forms

The study of real hypersurfaces in pseudo-Riemannian complex space forms and para-complex space forms, which are the pseudo-Riemannian generalizations of the complex space forms, is addressed. It is proved that there are no umbilic hypersurfaces, nor real hypersurfaces with parallel shape operator in such spaces. Denoting by J be the complex or para-complex structure of a pseudo-complex or para-complex space form respectively, a non-degenerate hypersurface of such space with unit normal vector field N is said to be Hopf if the tangent vector field JN is a principal direction. It is proved that if a hypersurface is Hopf, then the corresponding principal curvature (the Hopf curvature) is constant. It is also observed that in some cases a Hopf hypersurface must be, locally, a tube over a complex (or para-complex) submanifold, thus generalizing previous results of Cecil, Ryan and Montiel.     

Surfaces with zero mean curvature vector in neutral 4-manifolds

Space-like surfaces and time-like surfaces with zero mean curvature vector in oriented neutral 4-manifolds are isotropic and compatible with the orientations of the spaces if and only if their lifts to the space-like and the time-like twistor spaces respectively are horizontal. In neutral Kähler surfaces and paraKähler surfaces, complex curves and paracomplex curves respectively are such surfaces and characterized by one additional condition. In neutral 4-dimensional space forms, the holomorphic quartic differentials defined on such surfaces vanish. There exist time-like surfaces with zero mean curvature vector and zero holomorphic quartic differential which are not compatible with the orientations of the spaces and the conformal Gauss maps of time-like surfaces of Willmore type and their analogues give such surfaces.

Cubic surfaces and Borcherds products

We apply Borcherds' methods for constructing automorphic forms to embed the moduli space of marked complex cubic surfaces into . Specifically, we construct 270 automorphic forms on the complex 4-ball , automorphic with respect to a particular discrete group . We use the identification from [ACT2] of with the Baily-Borel compactification of . Our forms span a 10-dimensional space, and we exhibit the image of in as the intersection of 270 cubic hypersurfaces. Finally, we interpret the pairwise ratios of our forms as the original invariants of cubic surfaces, the cross-ratios introduced by Cayley. It turns out that this model of was found by Coble [C] in an entirely different way; see [vG]. Received: December 5, 2000

The geometry of closed conformal vector fields on Riemannian spaces

In this paper we examine different aspects of the geometry of closed conformal vector fields on Riemannian manifolds. We begin by getting obstructions to the existence of closed conformal and nonparallel vector fields on complete manifolds with nonpositive Ricci curvature, thus generalizing a theorem of T.K. Pan. Then we explain why it is so difficult to find examples, other than trivial ones, of spaces having at least two closed, conformal and homothetic vector fields. We then focus on isometric immersions, firstly generalizing a theorem of J. Simons on cones with parallel mean curvature to spaces furnished with a closed, Ricci null conformal vector field; then we prove general Bernstein-type theorems for certain complete, not necessarily cmc, hypersurfaces of Riemannian manifolds furnished with closed conformal vector fields. In particular, we obtain a generalization of theorems J. Jellett and A. Barros and P. Sousa for complete cmc radial graphs over finitely punctured geodesic spheres of Riemannian space forms.
