A remark on convex functions andp-harmonic maps

We prove that the constant maps are the onlyp-harmonic maps for anyp 2 from an arbitrary compact Riemannian manifold into a complete Riemannian manifold which admits a strictly convex function.     

Complete submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector in hyperbolic spaces

In this paper we proved a better estimate as well as generalized to higher codimensions of a theorem of Y.B. Shen on complete submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector in a hyperbolic space.     

The Total Mean Curvature of a Complete Noncompact Surface of Nonnegative Curvature in R3

We give a complete classification of complete noncompact oriented surfaces with nonnegative Gaussian curvature and finite total mean curvature in R³.     

Eigenvalue estimates for submanifolds with bounded mean curvature in the hyperbolic space

Let M be an n-dimensional complete non-compact submanifold in a hyperbolic space with the norm of its mean curvature vector bounded by a constant . We prove in this paper that . In particular when M is minimal we have and this is sharp because equality holds when M is totally geodesic.

On the topology of a compact submanifold of a sphere with bounded second fundamental form

Leth be the second fundamental form of a compact submanifold of a unit sphere. We show that if ‖h(u, u)‖²<1/3 holds for any unit tangent vectoru at any point on the submanifold then it is a homotopy sphere.     

Minimal Submanifolds in a Sphere II

We use the method of H. Gauchman [2] to show that if the sectionalcurvature of a compact minimal n-dimensional submanifold ina unit sphere is everywhere bigger than n/2(n+1) then it mustbe totally geodesic. We also discuss some related results andconjectures.     

Total mean curvature of positively curved hypersurfaces

In this article, we prove that every positively curved, complete non-compact hypersurface in Rn has infinite total mean curvature.     

On the curvature of minimal submanifolds in a sphere

S. T. Yau proved inAmer. J. Math. 97 (1975), p. 95, Theorem 15 that if the sectional curvature of ann-dimensional compact minimal submanifold in the (n + p)-dimensional unit sphere is everywhere greater than (p – 1)/(2p – 1), then this minimal submanifold is totally geodesic. In this note we improve this bound for the casep 2 to (3p – 2)/(6p).     

On the ricci curvature of a compact hypersurface in Euclidean space

We prove a sufficient condition for a compact hypersurface in Euclidean space to be spherical in terms of a pinching for the Ricci curvature.
