We consider a complete biharmonic submanifold [Formula: see text] in a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded from above by a non-negative constant [Formula: see text]. Assume that the mean curvature is bounded from below by [Formula: see text]. If (i) [Formula: see text], for some [Formula: see text], or (ii) the Ricci curvature of [Formula: see text] is bounded from below, then the mean curvature is [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, if [Formula: see text] is compact, then we obtain the same result without the assumption (i) or (ii). These are affirmative partial answers to Balmuş–Montaldo–Oniciuc conjecture.

AbstractLet N be a complete Riemannian manifold isometrically immersed into a Hadamard manifold M. We show that the immersion cannot be bounded if the mean curvature of the immersed manifold is small compared with the curvature of M and the Laplacian of the distance function on N grows at most linearly. The latter condition is satisfied if the Ricci curvature of N does not approach $-\infty $ too fast. The main tool in the proof is a modification of Yau’s maximum principle.

Let UB(p0; ρ1) × f MV be a cylindrically bounded domain in a warped product manifold := MB × fMV and let M be an isometrically immersed submanifold in . The purpose of this paper is to provide explicit radii of the geodesic balls of M which first exit from UB(p0; ρ1) × fMV for the case in which the mean curvature of M is sufficiently small and the lower bound of the Ricci curvature of M does not diverge to –∞ too rapidly at infinity.

Biharmonic Submanifold

The well known Chen’s conjecture on biharmonic submanifolds in Euclidean spaces states that every biharmonic submanifold in a Euclidean space is a minimal one. For hypersurfaces, we know from Chen and Jiang that the conjecture is true for biharmonic surfaces in E 3 . Also, Hasanis and Vlachos proved that biharmonic hypersurfaces in E 4 ; and Dimitric proved that biharmonic hypersurfaces in E m with at most two distinct principal curvatures. Chen and Munteanu showed that the conjecture is true for δ ( 2 ) -ideal and δ ( 3 ) -ideal hypersurfaces in E m . Further, Fu proved that the conjecture is true for hypersurfaces with three distinct principal curvatures in E m with arbitrary m. In this article, we provide another solution to the conjecture, namely, we prove that biharmonic surfaces do not exist in any Euclidean space with parallel normalized mean curvature vectors.

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.

SynopsisSuppose that a space form is immersed into another Riemannian manifold as a totally umbilical hypersurface with constant mean curvature. Then, in the ambient manifold, the lengthof the curvature tensor, that of the Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature must satisfy an inequality. In this paper the authors proved the inequality. As applications of the inequality, some immersibility problems are investigated. For example, it is proved that if a space form is immersed in an Einstein manifold as a totally umbilical hypersurface, then the Einstein manifold has constant sectional curvature along the hypersurface. Moreover, it is proved that a space form cannot be immersed into some Kaehlerian manifolds as a totally umbilical hypersurface with constant mean curvature.

Negative Sectional Curvature

Green [5] conjectured that if $M$ is a closed Riemannian manifold of negative sectional curvature such that the mean curvatures of the horospheres through each point depend only on the point, then $V$ is a locally symmetric space of rank one. He proved this in dimension two. In this paper we prove that under Green's assumption, $M$ must be asymptotically harmonic and that the geodesic flow on $M$ is $C^{\infty}$ conjugate to that of a locally symmetric space of rank one. Combining this with the recent rigidity theorem of Besson–Courtois–Gallot [1], it follows that Green's conjecture is true for all dimensions.

Let M be an m-dimensional Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded from below. We consider hypersurfaces in the (m + 1)-dimensional product manifold M × R with positive constant r-mean curvature. We obtain height estimates of certain compact vertical graphs in M × R with boundary in M × {0}. We apply this to obtain topological obstructions for the existence of some hypersurfaces. We also discuss the rotational symmetry of some embedded complete surfaces in S² × R of positive constant 2-mean curvature.

Comparison Inequality

Abstract In this paper, by supposing a natural comparison inequality on the positive r-th mean curvatures of the hypersurface, we obtain some new Bernstein-type theorems for complete spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a semi-Riemannian warped product of constant sectional curvature. Generalizing the above results, under a restriction on the sectional curvature or the Ricci curvature tensor of the fiber of a warped product, we also prove some new rigidity theorems in semi-Riemannian warped products. Our main results extend some recent Bernstein-type theorems proved in [12, 13, 14].
