Let x: Mn → Em be an isometric immersion of an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold into the m-dimensional Euclidean space. Then the map (where t denotes transpose) is called the quadric representation of Mn. In this paper, we study and classify hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space Em which satisfy , where B and C are two constant matrices, and Δ is the Laplacian operator of Mn. Some classification results are obtained.

Let M be a. complete connected Riemannian manifold of dimension n and let £:M → Rn+k be an isometric immersion into the Euclidean space Rn+k. Let ∇ be the connection on Mn and let be the Euclidean connection on Rn+k. Also letdenote the second fundamental form B(X, Y) = (xY)→. Here TP(M) denotes the tangent space at p, NP(M) the normal space and (…)→ the normal component.

The conjecture that Radon measures in Euclidean space with positive finite density are rectifiable was a central problem in Geometric Measure Theory for fifty years. This conjecture was positively resolved by Preiss in 1986, using methods entirely dependent on the symmetry of the Euclidean unit ball. Since then, due to reasons of isometric immersion of metric spaces into $l_{\infty}$ and the uncommon nature of the sup norm even in finite dimensions, a popular model problem for generalising this result to non-Euclidean spaces has been the study of 2-uniform measures in $l^{3}_{\infty}$. The rectifiability or otherwise of these measures has been a well-known question.In this paper the stronger result that locally 2-uniform measures in $l^{3}_{\infty}$ are rectifiable is proved. This is the first result that proves rectifiability, from an initial condition about densities, for general Radon measures of dimension greater than 1 outside Euclidean space.2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 28A75.

We show that an isometric immersion of an n−dimensional compact Riemannian manifold of non-negative Ricci curvature with scalar curvature always less than n(n−1)λ−2 into a Euclidean space of dimension n + 1 can never be contained in a ball of radius λ.

This chapter returns to the problems which were formulated in Chapter 1, namely the Weinstein conjecture, the nonsqueezing theorem, and symplectic rigidity. These questions are all related to the existence and properties of symplectic capacities. The chapter begins by discussing some of the consequences which follow from the existence of capacities. In particular, it establishes symplectic rigidity and discusses the relation between capacities and the Hofer metric on the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms. The chapter then introduces the Hofer–Zehnder capacity, and shows that its existence gives rise to a proof of the Weinstein conjecture for hypersurfaces of Euclidean space. The last section contains a proof that the Hofer–Zehnder capacity satisfies the required axioms. This proof translates the Hofer–Zehnder variational argument into the setting of (finite-dimensional) generating functions.

The anti-self-duality equations for gauge fields in d = 4 and a generalization of these equations to dimension d = 4n are considered. For gauge fields with values in an arbitrary semisimple Lie algebra [Formula: see text] we introduce the ansatz which reduces the anti-self-duality equations in the Euclidean space ℝ4n to a system of equations breaking up into the well known Nahm's equations and some linear equations for scalar field φ.
