The space S L ( 2 , R ) × S L ( 2 , R ) admits a natural homogeneous pseudo-Riemannian nearly Kähler structure. We investigate almost complex surfaces in this space. In particular, we obtain a complete classification of the totally geodesic almost complex surfaces and of the almost complex surfaces with parallel second fundamental form.

A surface of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is called parallel if its second fundamental form is parallel with respect to the Van der Waerden–Bortolotti connection. Such surfaces are fundamental since the extrinsic invariants of the surfaces do no change from point to point. In this article, we completely classify parallel Lorentzian surfaces in Lorentzian complex space forms of complex dimension two.

We describe a global model for Lorentzian symmetric three-spaces admitting a parallel null vector field, and classify completely the surfaces with parallel second fundamental form in all Lorentzian symmetric three-spaces. Interesting differences arise with respect to the Riemannian case studied in [2]. Our results complete the classification of parallel surfaces in all three-dimensional Lorentzian homogeneous spaces.

AbstractA Lorentz surface of an indefinite space form is called a parallel surface if its second fundamental form is parallel with respect to the Van der Waerden-Bortolotti connection. Such surfaces are locally invariant under the reflection with respect to the normal space at each point. Parallel surfaces are important in geometry as well as in general relativity since extrinsic invariants of such surfaces do not change from point to point. Recently, parallel Lorentz surfaces in 4D neutral pseudo Euclidean 4-space $$ \mathbb{E}_2^4 $$ and in neutral pseudo 4-sphere S 24 (1) were classified in [14] and in [10], respectively. In this paper, we completely classify parallel Lorentz surfaces in neutral pseudo hyperbolic 4-space H 24 (−1). Our main result states that there are 53 families of parallel Lorentz surfaces in H 24 (−1). Conversely, every parallel Lorentz surface in H 24 (−1) is obtained from the 53 families. As an immediate by-product, we achieve the complete classification of all parallel Lorentz surfaces in 4D neutral indefinite space forms.

We proved that there does not exist a properCR-hypersurface ofS6with parallel second fundamental form. As a result of this we showed thatS6does not admit a properCR-totally umbilical hypersurface. We also proved that an Einstein properCR-hypersurface ofS6is an extrinsic sphere.
