Minimal compact hypersurface in the unit sphere Sn+1 having squared length of shape operator A2<n are totally geodesic and with A2=n are Clifford hypersurfaces. Therefore, classifying totally geodesic hypersurfaces and Clifford hypersurfaces has importance in geometry of compact minimal hypersurfaces in Sn+1. One finds a naturally induced vector field w called the associated vector field and a smooth function ρ called support function on the hypersurface M of Sn+1. It is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for a minimal compact hypersurface M in S5 to be totally geodesic is that the support function ρ is a non-trivial solution of static perfect fluid equation. Additionally, this result holds for minimal compact hypersurfaces in Sn+1, (n>2), provided the scalar curvature τ is a constant on integral curves of w. Yet other classification of totally geodesic hypersurfaces among minimal compact hypersurfaces in Sn+1 is obtained using the associated vector field w an eigenvector of rough Laplace operator. Finally, a characterization of Clifford hypersurfaces is found using an upper bound on the integral of Ricci curvature in the direction of the vector field Aw.

In this paper, we study n-dimensional compact minimal hypersurfaces in a unit sphere Sn+1(1) and give an answer for S. S. Chern's conjecture. We have shown that [Formula: see text] if S > n, and prove that an n-dimensional compact minimal hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in Sn+1(1) is a totally geodesic sphere or a Clifford torus if [Formula: see text], where S denotes the squared norm of the second fundamental form of this hypersurface.

AbstractIn this paper we give a characterization of real hypersurfaces of type A in a complex two-plane Grassmannian G2(ℂm+2) which are tubes over totally geodesic G2(ℂm+1) in G2(ℂm+2) in terms of the vanishing Lie derivative of the shape operator A along the direction of the Reeb vector field ξ.

In this note, we show that the totally geodesic sphere, Clifford torus and Cartan hypersurface are the only compact minimal hypersurfaces in S4(1) with constant scalar curvature if the Ricci curvature is not less than −1.

In this paper, we introduce anti-invariant Riemannian submersions from nearly-K-cosymplectic manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We study the integrability of horizontal distributions. And we investigate the necessary and sufficient condition for an anti-invariant Riemannian submersion to be totally geodesic and harmonic. Moreover, we give examples of anti-invariant Riemannian submersions such that characteristic vector field ? is vertical or horizontal.

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold to be isometrically immersed into one of the Lorentzian products 𝕊n × ℝ1 or ℍn × ℝ1. This condition is expressed in terms of its first and second fundamental forms, the tangent and normal projections of the vertical vector field. As applications, we give an equivalent condition in a spinorial way and we deduce the existence of a one-parameter family of isometric maximal deformation of a given maximal surface obtained by rotating the shape operator.

In the present paper, we introduce a new class of natural metrics on the tangent bundle $TM$ of the Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ denoted by $G^{f,h}$ which is named a twisted Sasakian metric. A necessary and sufficient conditions under which a vector field is harmonic with respect to the twisted Sasakian metric are established. Some examples of harmonic vector fields are presented as well.

We introduce anti-invariant Riemannian submersions from cosymplectic manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We survey main results of anti-invariant Riemannian submersions defined on cosymplectic manifolds. We investigate necessary and sufficient condition for an anti-invariant Riemannian submersion to be totally geodesic and harmonic. We give examples of anti-invariant submersions such that characteristic vector field ? is vertical or horizontal. Moreover we give decomposition theorems by using the existence of anti-invariant Riemannian submersions.

In an earlier article we obtain a sharp inequality for an arbitrary isometric immersion from a Riemannian manifold admitting a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibres into a unit sphere. In this article we investigate the immersions which satisfy the equality case of the inequality. As a by-product, we discover a new characterisation of Cartan hypersurface in S4.

SynopsisLet Mn be a manifold supposed “nicely curved” isometrically immersed in ℝn+p. Starting from a generalised Gauss map associated to the splitting of the normal bundle defined from the values of the fundamental forms of M of order k (k ≧ 0), we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the map to be totally geodesic and harmonic . For k = 0 is the classical Gauss map and our formula reduces to Ruh–Vilm's formula with a more precise formulation due to the consideration of the splitting of the normal bundle.We also give necessary conditions for M, supposed complete, to admit an isometric immersion with . This theorem generalises a theorem of Vilms on the manifolds with second fundamental forms parallel (case k = 0). The result is interesting as the class of manifolds satisfying the condition is larger than the class of manifolds satisfying .
