The purpose of this paper is to classify totally umbilical slant submanifolds of a Kenmotsu manifold. We prove that a totally umbilical slant submanifold M of a Kenmotsu manifold ?M is either invariant or anti-invariant or dimM = 1 or the mean curvature vector H of M lies in the invariant normal subbundle. Moreover, we find with an example that every totally umbilical proper slant submanifold is totally geodesic.

AbstractIn this paper, we give a classification of spacelike submanifolds with parallel normalised mean curvature vector field and linear relation$R= aH+ b$of the normalised scalar curvature$R$and the mean curvature$H$in the de Sitter space${ S}_{p}^{n+ p} (c)$.

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).

AbstractConsider submanifolds in the nested space. For a compact pseudoumbilical submanifold with parallel mean curvature vector of a Riemannian submanifold with constant curvature immersed in a quasi-constant curvature Riemannian manifold, two sufficient conditions are given to let the pseudo-umbilical submanifold become a totally umbilical submanifold.

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.

In this paper, complete spacelike submanifolds with parallel normalized mean curvature vector are investigated in semi-Riemannian space obeying some standard curvature conditions. In this setting, we obtain a suitable Simons type formula and apply it jointly with the well-known generalized maximum principle of Omori–Yau to show that it must be totally umbilical submanifold or isometric to an isoparametric hypersurface in a submanifold [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text].
