Isometric 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...
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 into Lorentzian products
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 vectical vector field. As applications, we give an equivalent condition in a spinorial way and we deduce the...
متن کاملOn the k-nullity foliations in Finsler geometry
Here, a Finsler manifold $(M,F)$ is considered with corresponding curvature tensor, regarded as $2$-forms on the bundle of non-zero tangent vectors. Certain subspaces of the tangent spaces of $M$ determined by the curvature are introduced and called $k$-nullity foliations of the curvature operator. It is shown that if the dimension of foliation is constant, then the distribution is involutive...
