Sharp Lower Bound

We give a sharp lower bound for the supremum of the norm of the mean curvature of an isometric immersion of a complete Riemannian manifold with scalar curvature bounded from below into a horoball of a complex or real hyperbolic space. We also characterize the horospheres of the real or complex hyperbolic spaces as the only isometrically immersed hypersurfaces which are between two parallel horospheres, have the norm of the mean curvature vector bounded by the above sharp bound and have some special groups of symmetries.

Abstract.For an isotropic submanifold Mn (n ≧ 3) of a space form of constant sectional curvature c, we show that if the mean curvature vector of Mn is parallel and the sectional curvature K of Mn satisfies some inequality, then the second fundamental form of Mn in is parallel and our manifold Mn is a space form.

AbstractLet M be an n-dimensional complete Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature bounded from below. Let be an N-dimensional (N < n) complete, simply connected Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. We shall prove in this note that if there exists an isometric immersion φ of M into with the property that the immersed manifold is contained in a ball of radius R and that the mean curvature vector H of the immersion has bounded norm ∥H∥ > H0, (H0 > 0) then R > H−10.

Let ϕ: M → RN be an isometric imbedding of a compact, connected surface M into a Euclidean space RN. ψ is said to be umbilical at a point p of M if all principal curvatures are equal for any normal direction. It is known that if the Euler characteristic of M is not zero and N = 3, then ψ is umbilical at some point on M. In this paper we study umbilical points of surfaces of higher codimension. In Theorem 1, we show that if M is homeomorphic to either a 2-sphere or a 2-dimensional projective space and if the normal connection of ψ is flat, then ψ is umbilical at some point on M. In Section 2, we consider a surface M whose Gaussian curvature is positive constant. If the surface is compact and N = 3, Liebmann’s theorem says that it must be a round sphere. However, if N ≥ 4, the surface is not rigid: For any isometric imbedding Φ of R3 into R4 Φ(S2(r)) is a compact surface of constant positive Gaussian curvature 1/r2. We use Theorem 1 to show that if the normal connection of ψ is flat and the length of the mean curvature vector of ψ is constant, then ψ(M) is a round sphere in some R3 ⊂ RN. When N = 4, our conditions on ψ is satisfied if the mean curvature vector is parallel with respect to the normal connection. Our theorem fails if the surface is not compact, while the corresponding theorem holds locally for a surface with parallel mean curvature vector (See Remark (i) in Section 3).

In a recent paper [2] Nomizu and Smyth have determined the hypersurfaces Mn of non-negative sectional curvature iso-metrically immersed in the Euclidean space Rn+1 or the sphere Sn+1 with constant mean curvature under the additional assumption that the scalar curvature of Mn is constant. This additional assumption is automatically satisfied if Mn is compact. In this paper we extend these results to codimension p isometric immersions. We determine the n-dimensional submanifolds Mn of non-negative sectional curvature isometrically immersed in the Euclidean Space Rn+P or the sphere Sn+P with constant mean curvature under the additional assumptions that Mn has constant scalar curvature and the curvature tensor of the connection in the normal bundle is zero. By constant mean curvature we mean that the mean curvature normal is paral lel with respect to the connection in the normal bundle. The assumption that Mn has constant scalar curvature is automatically satisfied if Mn is compact. The assumption on the normal connection is automatically sa tisfied if p = 2 and the mean curvature normal is not zero.

LetM˜(U,Ω˜,η˜,ξ,g˜)be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of signature(n+1,n). One defines onM˜an almost cosymplectic paraf-structure and proves that a manifoldM˜endowed with such a structure isξ-Ricci flat and is foliated by minimal hypersurfaces normal toξ, which are of Otsuki's type. Further one considers onM˜a2(n−1)-dimensional involutive distributionP⊥and a recurrent vector fieldV˜. It is proved that the maximal integral manifoldM⊥ofP⊥hasVas the mean curvature vector (up to1/2(n−1)). If the complimentary orthogonal distributionPofP⊥is also involutive, then the whole manifoldM˜is foliate. Different other properties regarding the vector fieldV˜are discussed.

AbstractWe establish gradient estimates for solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the constant mean curvature equation in hyperbolic space. We obtain these estimates on bounded strictly convex domains by using the maximum principles theory of Φ-functions of Payne and Philippin. These estimates are then employed to solve the Dirichlet problem when the mean curvature H satisfies H < 1 under suitable boundary conditions.
