Compact Submanifold

We give some estimates of the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian for compact and non-compact submanifold immersed in the Euclidean space by using the square length of the second fundamental form of the submanifold merely. Then some spherical theorems and a nonimmersibility theorem of Chern and Kuiper type can be obtained.

Complete Riemannian Manifolds

Let Mn be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold minimally immersed in the unit sphere Sn+p (1) of dimension n + p. When Mn is compact, Chern, do Carmo and Kobayashi [1] proved that if the square ‖h‖2 of length of the second fundamental form h in Mn is not more than , then either Mn is totallygeodesic, or Mn is the Veronese surface in S4 (1) or Mn is the Clifford torus .In this paper, we generalize the results due to Chern, do Carmo and Kobayashi [1] to complete Riemannian manifolds.

By using the integral method, we prove a rigidity theorem for spacelike self-shrinkers in pseudo-Euclidean space under a minor growth condition in terms of the mean curvature and the second fundamental form, which generalizes Theorem 1.1 in [H. Q. Liu and Y. L. Xin, Some Results on Space-Like Self-Shrinkers, Acta Math. Sin. (Engl. Ser.) 32(1) (2016) 69–82].

In this paper, we study n-dimensional complete submanifolds with constant scalar curvature in the Euclidean space En+p and n-dimensional compact submanifolds with constant scalar curvature in the unit sphere Sn+p(1). We prove that the totally umbilical sphere Sn(r), totally geodesic Euclidean space En and generalized cylinder Sn−1(c) × E1 are the only n-dimensional (n > 2) complete submanifolds Mn with constant scalar curvature n(n − 1)r in the Euclidean space En+p, which satisfy the following condition: where S denotes the squared norm of the second fundamental form of Mn. For compact submanifolds with constant scalar curvature in the unit sphere Sn+p(1), we also obtain a corresponding result (see theorem 1.3).

Let M be a connected surface immersed in a Euclidean m-space Em. Let h be the second fundamental form of this immersion it is a certain symmetric bilinear mapping for X ∈ M, where Tx is the tangent space and the normal space of M at x. Let H be the mean curvature vector of M in Em. If there exists a real λ such that for all tangent vectors X, Y in Tx, then ilf is said to be pseudo-umbilical at x.

Tangency Principle

In this paper we prove a tangency principle (see Fontenele and Silva 2001) related with the length of the second fundamental form, for hypersurfaces of an arbitrary ambient space. As geometric applications, we make radius estimates of the balls that lie in some component of the complementary of a complete hypersurface into Euclidean space, generalizing and improving analogous radius estimates for embedded compact hypersurfaces obtained by Blaschke, Koutroufiotis and the authors. The basic tool established here is that some operator is elliptic at points where the second fundamental form is positive definite.
