Subject of present paper is the geometry of foliation defined by submersions on complete Riemannian manifold. It is proven foliation defined by Riemannian submersion on the complete manifold of zero sectional curvature is total geodesic foliation with isometric leaves. Also it is shown level surfaces of metric function are conformally equivalent.

AbstractBased on the ideas of Bessa, Jorge and Montenegro (Comm. Anal. Geom., vol. 15, no. 4, 2007, pp. 725–732) we show that a complete submanifold M with tamed second fundamental form in a complete Riemannian manifold N with sectional curvature KN ≤ κ ≤ 0 is proper (compact if N is compact). In addition, if N is Hadamard, then M has finite topology. We also show that the fundamental tone is an obstruction for a Riemannian manifold to be realised as submanifold with tamed second fundamental form of a Hadamard manifold with sectional curvature bounded below.

Let Mn be a complete, non-compact and C∞-smooth Riemannian manifold with non-negative sectional curvature. Suppose that [Formula: see text] is a soul of Mn given by the fundamental theory of Cheeger and Gromoll, and suppose that [Formula: see text] is a distance non-increasing retraction from the whole manifold to the soul (e.g. the retraction given by Sharafutdinov). Then we show that the retraction Ψ above must give rise to a C∞-smooth Riemannian submersion from Mn to the soul [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we derive a new flat strip theorem associated with the Cheeger–Gromoll convex exhaustion for the manifold above.

In this paper, we consider the high-order geometric flows of a compact submanifolds [Formula: see text] in a complete Riemannian manifold [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], which were introduced by Mantegazza in the case the ambient space is an Euclidean space, and extend some results due to Mantegazza to the present situation under some assumptions on [Formula: see text]. Precisely, we show that if [Formula: see text] is strictly larger than the integer part of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is an immersion for all [Formula: see text] and if [Formula: see text] is bounded by a constant which relies on the injectivity radius [Formula: see text] and sectional curvature [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] must be [Formula: see text].

We derive Harnack-type inequalities for non-negative solutions of the porous medium equation on a complete Riemannian manifold with non-negative Ricci curvature. Along with gradient estimates, reparametrization of a geodesic and time rescaling of a solution are key tools to get the results.

For each p ∈ [2, ∞)a p-harmonic map f:Mm→Nn is a critical point of the p-energy functionalwhere Mm is a compact and Nn a complete Riemannian manifold of dimensions m and n respectively. In a recent paper [3], Takeuchi has proved that for a certain class of simply-connected δ-pinched Nn and certain type of hypersurface Nn in ℝn+1, the only stable p-harmonic maps for any compact Mm are the constant maps. Our purpose in this note is to establish the following theorem which complements Takeuchi's results.

A Riemannian manifold $M$ has higher hyperbolic rank if every geodesic has a perpendicular Jacobi field making sectional curvature $-1$ with the geodesic. If, in addition, the sectional curvatures of $M$ lie in the interval $[-1,-\frac{1}{4}]$ and $M$ is closed, we show that $M$ is a locally symmetric space of rank one. This partially extends work by Constantine using completely different methods. It is also a partial counterpart to Hamenstädt’s hyperbolic rank rigidity result for sectional curvatures $\leq -1$, and complements well-known results on Euclidean and spherical rank rigidity.

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.
