Rigidity of minimal hypersurfaces of spheres with constant ricci curvature

ABSTRACT: Let M be a compact oriented minimal hypersurface of the unit n-dimensional sphere S. In this paper we will point out that if the Ricci curvature of M is constant, then, we have that either Ric ≡ 1 andM is isometric to an equator or, n is odd,Ric ≡ n−3 n−2 andM is isometric to S n−1 2 ( √ 2 2 )×S n−1 2 ( √ 2 2 ). Next, we will prove that there exists a positive number ̄(n) such that if ...

Constant mean curvature hypersurfaces foliated by spheres ∗

We ask when a constant mean curvature n-submanifold foliated by spheres in one of the Euclidean, hyperbolic and Lorentz–Minkowski spaces (En+1, Hn+1 or Ln+1), is a hypersurface of revolution. In En+1 and Ln+1 we will assume that the spheres lie in parallel hyperplanes and in the case of hyperbolic space Hn+1, the spheres will be contained in parallel horospheres. Finally, Riemann examples in L3...

A Metric of Constant Curvature on Polycycles

We prove the following main theorem of the theory of (r, q)-polycycles. Suppose a nonseparable plane graph satisfies the following two conditions: (1) each internal face is an r-gon, where r ≥ 3 ; (2) the degree of each internal vertex is q , where q ≥ 3 , and the degree of each boundary vertex is at most q and at least 2 . Then it also possesses the following third property: (3) the vertices, ...

Geodesically Reversible Finsler 2-spheres of Constant Curvature

A Finsler space (M,Σ) is said to be geodesically reversible if each oriented geodesic can be reparametrized as a geodesic with the reverse orientation. A reversible Finsler space is geodesically reversible, but the converse need not be true. In this note, building on recent work of LeBrun and Mason [13], it is shown that a geodesically reversible Finsler metric of constant flag curvature on the...
