SynopsisThis paper is a continuation of [2], where we introduced the notion of global k-spreads on manifolds. Here we show that the space of all k-spreads on a manifold has the structure of an affine space, modelled on the vector space of sections of a certain vector bundle. We give some sufficient conditions for a manifold admitting an integrable k-spread to be a space of constant curvature and answer one of the questions raised in [2].

PurposeThe author considers an invariant lightlike submanifold M, whose transversal bundle tr(TM) is flat, in an indefinite Sasakian manifold M¯(c) of constant φ¯-sectional curvature c. Under some geometric conditions, the author demonstrates that c=1, that is, M¯ is a space of constant curvature 1. Moreover, M and any leaf M′ of its screen distribution S(TM) are, also, spaces of constant curvature 1.Design/methodology/approachThe author has employed the techniques developed by K. L. Duggal and A. Bejancu of reference number 7.FindingsThe author has discovered that any totally umbilic invariant ligtlike submanifold, whose transversal bundle is flat, in an indefinite Sasakian space form is, in fact, a space of constant curvature 1 (see Theorem 4.4).Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s findings, at the time of submission of this paper, the results reported are new and interesting as far as lightlike geometry is concerned.

We prove that the classical Lambert theorem about the elapsed time on an arc of Keplerian orbit extends without change to the Kepler problem on a space of constant curvature. We prove that the Hooke problem has a property similar to Lambert's theorem, which also extends to the spaces of constant curvature. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Topological and geometrical aspects of mass and vortex dynamics’.

The immobility of the center of mass in spaces of constant curvature is postulated based on its definition obtained in [1]. The system of two particles which interact through a potential depending only on the distance between particles on a three-dimensional sphere is considered. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is formulated and its solutions and trajectory equations are found. It was established that the reduced mass of the system depends on the relative distance.

The Euler characteristic of an even dimensional submanifold in a space of constant curvature is given in terms of Weyl's curvature invariants. A derivation of Chern's kinematic formula in non-Euclidean space is completed. As an application of above results Weyl's tube formula about an odd-dimensional submanifold in a space of constant curvature is obtained.
