Existence of isometric immersions into nilpotent Lie groups
We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of isometric immersions of a simply connected Riemannian manifold into a two-step nilpotent Lie group. This comprises the case of immersions into H-type groups. MSC 2000: 53C42, 53C30
متن کاملAn Existence Theorem for G-structure Preserving Affine Immersions
We prove an existence result for local and global G-structure preserving affine immersions between affine manifolds. Several examples are discussed in the context of Riemannian and semi-Riemannian geometry, including the case of isometric immersions into Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant metric, and the case of isometric immersions into products of space forms.
متن کاملIntrinsic Obstructions to the Existence of Isometric Minimal Immersions
S.S. Chern raised the problem to find necessary and sufficient conditions for a given Riemannian manifold to be realizable on a minimal submanifold of a Euclidean space. The aim of this paper is to provide new necessary conditions. For minimal submanifolds in a Euclidean space we consider the negative of the Ricci tensor as defining a new metric, which is nothing but the third fundamental form,...
متن کاملOn isometric Lagrangian immersions
This article uses Cartan-Kähler theory to show that a small neighborhood of a point in any surface with a Riemannian metric possesses an isometric Lagrangian immersion into the complex plane (or by the same argument, into any Kähler surface). In fact, such immersions depend on two functions of a single variable. On the other hand, explicit examples are given of Riemannian three-manifolds which ...
متن کاملIsometric Immersions and Compensated Compactness
A fundamental problem in differential geometry is to characterize intrinsic metrics on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold M2 which can be realized as isometric immersions into R3. This problem can be formulated as initial and/or boundary value problems for a system of nonlinear partial differential equations of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type whose mathematical theory is largely incomplete. I...
