In a recent paper, [6], Nomizu and Rodriguez found a geometric characterization of umbilical submanifolds Mn ⊂ Rn+p in terms of the critical point behavior of a certain class of functions Lp, p ⊂ Rn+p, on Mn. In that case, if p ⊂ Rn+p, x ⊂ Mn, then Lp(x) = (d(x,p))2, where d is the Euclidean distance function.

In a previous paper it was shown how to associate with a Lagrangian submanifold satisfying Chen's equality in 3-dimensional complex projective space, a minimal surface in the 5-sphere with ellipse of curvature a circle. In this paper we focus on the reverse construction.

AbstractWe consider nonlinear periodic problems driven by the scalar p-Laplacian with a Carathéodory reaction term. Under conditions which permit resonance at infinity with respect to any eigenvalue, we show that the problem has a nontrivial smooth solution. Our approach combines variational techniques based on critical point theory with Morse theory.
