چکیده
A1 and A2 being arbitrary constants. A natural generalization of this question to higher dimensions could be: ‘given an isometric immersion ψ : Mn → Rn+2 of a compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold (Mn, g), obtain conditions for ψ(Mn) ⊂ Sn+1(c), where Sn+1(c) is the sphere of constant curvature c’. We write ψT , ψ⊥ as tangential and normal components of the position vector ψ in Rn+p and show that for a connected submanifold ψ : Mn → Rn+p, ψ(Mn) ⊂ Sn+p−1(c) for some c if and only if 〈H, ψ⊥〉 is a constant, where H is the mean curvature vector field (Theorem 4.1). Similarly it is observed that for this submanifold the vector field ψT being harmonic also provides a necessary and sufficient condition for ψ(Mn) ⊂ Sn+p−1(c), for some constant c (Theorem 4.3). We also study codimension-2 isometric immersions ψ : Mn → Rn+2 of a compact connected Riemannian manifold (Mn, g) with parallel mean curvature vector field and observe that if the sectional curvatures of Mn are strictly positive and the scalar curvature S of Mn satisfies S < n(n−1)λ−2, then no such isometric immersion of (Mn, g) is contained in a ball of radius λ in Rn+2 (Theorem 5.1).

Umbilicity of (Space-Like) Submanifolds of Pseudo-Riemannian Space Forms
We study umbilic (space-like) submanifolds of pseudo-Riemannian space forms, then define totally semi-umbilic space-like submanifold of pseudo Euclidean space and relate this notion to umbilicity. Finally we give characterization of total semi-umbilicity for space-like submanifolds contained in pseudo sphere or pseudo hyperbolic space or the light cone.A pseudo-Riemannian submanifold M in (a...
متن کاملClassification of Spherical Lagrangian Submanifolds in Complex Euclidean Spaces
An isometric immersion f : Mn → M̃n from a Riemannian nmanifold Mn into a Kähler n-manifold M̃n is called Lagrangian if the complex structure J of the ambient manifold M̃n interchanges each tangent space of Mn with the corresponding normal space. In this paper, we completely classify spherical Lagrangian submanifolds in complex Euclidean spaces. In this paper, we also provide two corresponding cla...
متن کاملConstruction of Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangian Submanifolds in Complex Euclidean Space
We describe several families of Lagrangian submanifolds in the complex Euclidean space which are H-minimal, i.e. critical points of the volume functional restricted to Hamiltonian variations. We make use of various constructions involving planar, spherical and hyperbolic curves, as well as Legendrian submanifolds of the odd-dimensional unit sphere.
متن کاملFirst Eigenvalue of Submanifolds in Euclidean Space
We give some estimates of the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian for compact and non-compact submanifold immersed in the Euclidean space by using the square length of the second fundamental form of the submanifold merely. Then some spherical theorems and a nonimmersibility theorem of Chern and Kuiper type can be obtained.
متن کامل$L_1$-Biharmonic Hypersurfaces in Euclidean Spaces with Three Distinct Principal Curvatures
Chen's biharmonic conjecture is well-known and stays open: The only biharmonic submanifolds of Euclidean spaces are the minimal ones. In this paper, we consider an advanced version of the conjecture, replacing $Delta$ by its extension, $L_1$-operator ($L_1$-conjecture). The $L_1$-conjecture states that any $L_1$-biharmonic Euclidean hypersurface is 1-minimal. We prove that the $L_1$-conje...
متن کاملComplex Extensors and Lagrangian Submanifolds in Complex Euclidean Spaces
Lagrangian //-umbilical submanifolds are the "simplest" Lagrangian submanifolds next to totally geodesic ones in complex-space-forms. The class of Lagrangian //-umbilical submanifolds in complex Euclidean spaces includes Whitney's spheres and Lagrangian pseudo-spheres. For each submanifold M of Euclidean «-space and each unit speed curve F in the complex plane, we introduce the notion of the co...
