چکیده
We present a new characterization of Cartan isoparametric hypersurfaces in terms of properties of the polynomial that determines the algebraic set of planar normal sections on the homogeneous isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres. We show that Cartan isoparametric hypersurfaces are the only homogeneous isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres for which the infinity Laplacian of the polynomial that defines the algebraic set of planar normal sections is the polynomial multiplied by the squared norm of the tangent vector. Since it is required for our work, we also give these polynomials for all homogeneous isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres.

Planar Normal Sections of Focal Manifolds of Isoparametric Hypersurfaces in Spheres
The present paper contains some results about the algebraic sets of planar normal sections associated to the focal manifolds of homogeneous isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres. With the usual identification of the tangent spaces to the focal manifold with subspaces of the tangent spaces to the isoparametric hypersurface, it is proven that the algebraic set of planar normal sections of the fo...
متن کاملTriality and the Normal Sections of Cartan’s Isoparametric Hypersurfaces
The present paper is devoted to study the algebraic sets of normal sections of the so called Cartan’s isoparametric hypersurfaces MR, MC, MH and MO of complete flags in the projective planes RP , CP , HP 2 and OP . It presents a connection between “normed trialities” and the polynomial defining the algebraic sets of normal sections of these hypersurfaces. It contains also a geometric and topolo...
متن کاملIsoparametric submanifolds and a Chevalley-type restriction theorem
We define and study isoparametric submanifolds of general ambient spaces and of arbitrary codimension. In particular we study their behaviour with respect to Riemannian submersions and their lift into a Hilbert space. These results are used to prove a Chevalley type restriction theorem which relates by restriction eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact Riemannian manifold which contains a...
متن کاملPARA-BLASCHKE ISOPARAMETRIC HYPERSURFACES IN THE UNIT SPHERE Sn+1(1) (II)
Let D = A + λB be the para-Blaschke tensor of the immersion x, where λ is a constant, A and B are the Blaschke tensor and the Möbius second fundamental form of x. A hypersurface x : M 7→ S(1) in the unit sphere S(1) without umbilical points is called a para-Blaschke isoparametric hypersurface if the Möbius form Φ vanishes identically and all of its para-Blaschke eigenvalues are constants. In [1...
متن کاملGradient Map of Isoparametric Polynomial and Its Application to Ginzburg-landau System
In this note, we study properties of the gradient map of the isoparametric polynomial. For a given isoparametric hypersurface in sphere, we calculate explicitly the gradient map of its isoparametric polynomial which turns out many interesting phenomenons and applications. We find that it should map not only the focal submanifolds to focal submanifolds, isoparametric hypersurfaces to isoparametr...
