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.

Euclidean Submanifolds

A well-known conjecture of Bang Yen-Chen says that the only biharmonic Euclidean submanifolds are minimal ones. In this paper, we consider an extended condition (namely, $L_1$-biharmonicity) on non-degenerate timelike hypersurfaces of the pseudo-Euclidean space $E_1^4$. A Lorentzian hypersurface $x: M_1^3\rightarrow\E_1^4$ is called $L_1$-biharmonic if it satisfies the condition $L_1^2x=0$, where $L_1$ is the linearized operator associated to the first variation of 2-th mean curvature vector field on $M_1^3$. According to the multiplicities of principal curvatures, the $L_1$-extension of Chen's conjecture is affirmed for Lorentzian hypersurfaces with constant ordinary mean curvature in pseudo-Euclidean space $E_1^4$. Additionally, we show that there is no proper $L_1$-biharmonic $L_1$-finite type connected orientable Lorentzian hypersurface in $E_1^4$.

<abstract><p>A nondegenerate hypersurface in a pseudo-Euclidean space $ \mathbb{E}^{n+1}_{s} $ is called to have proper mean curvature vector if its mean curvature $ \vec{H} $ satisfies $ \Delta \vec{H} = \lambda \vec{H} $ for a constant $ \lambda $. In 2013, Arvanitoyeorgos and Kaimakamis conjectured <sup>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="b1">1</xref>]</sup>: any hypersurface satisfying $ \Delta \vec{H} = \lambda \vec{H} $ in pseudo-Euclidean space $ \mathbb E_{s}^{n+1} $ has constant mean curvature. This paper will give further support evidences to this conjecture by proving that a linear Weingarten hypersurface $ M^{n}_{r} $ in $ \mathbb E^{n+1}_{s} $ satisfying $ \Delta \vec{H} = \lambda \vec{H} $ has constant mean curvature if $ M^{n}_{r} $ has diagonalizable shape operator with less than seven distinct principal curvatures.</p></abstract>

In [5] the author initiated the study of submanifolds whose mean curvature vector $H$ satisfying the condition $\Delta H =\lambda H$ for some constant $\lambda$ and proved that such submanifolds are either biharmonic or of 1-type or of null 2-type. Submanifolds of hyperbolic spaces and of de Sitter space-times satisfy this condition have been investigated and classified in [6,7]. In this article, we study submanifolds of $E^m$ whose mean curvature vector $H$ satisfies a more general condition; namely, $\Delta H =AH$ for some $m \times m$ matrix $A$.

The object of the paper is to study some compact submanifolds in the Euclidean spaceRnwhose mean curvature vector is parallel in the normal bundle. First we prove that there does not exist ann-dimensional compact simply connected totally real submanifold inR2nwhose mean curvature vector is parallel. Then we show that then-dimensional compact totally real submanifolds of constant curvature and parallel mean curvature inR2nare flat. Finally we show that compact Positively curved submanifolds inRnwith parallel mean curvature vector are homology spheres. The last result in particular for even dimensional submanifolds implies that their Euler poincaré characteristic class is positive, which for the class of compact positively curved submanifolds admiting isometric immersion with parallel mean curvature vector inRn, answers the problem of Chern and Hopf
