Abstract:

Let $M$ be an orientable hypersurface in the Euclidean space $R^{2n}$ with induced metric $g$ and $TM$ be its tangent bundle. It is known that the tangent bundle $TM$ has induced metric $overline{g}$ as submanifold of the Euclidean space $R^{4n}$ which is not a natural metric in the sense that the submersion $pi :(TM,overline{g})rightarrow (M,g)$ is not the Riemannian submersion. In this paper, we use the fact that $R^{4n}$ is the tangent bundle of the Euclidean space $R^{2n}$ to define a special complex structure $overline{J}$ on the tangent bundle $R^{4n}$ so that $% (R^{4n},overline{J}$,$leftlangle ,rightrangle )$ is a Kaehler manifold, where $leftlangle ,rightrangle $ is the Euclidean metric which is also the Sasaki metric of the tangent bundle $R^{4n}$. We study the structure induced on the tangent bundle $(TM,overline{g})$ of the hypersurface $M$, which is a submanifold of the Kaehler manifold $(R^{4n},overline{J}$,$% leftlangle ,rightrangle )$. We show that the tangent bundle $TM$ is a CR-submanifold of the Kaehler manifold  $(R^{4n},overline{J}$,$leftlangle ,rightrangle )$. We find conditions under which certain special vector fields on the tangent bundle $(TM,overline{g})$ are Killing vector fields. It is also shown that the tangent bundle $TS^{2n-1}$ of the unit sphere $% S^{2n-1}$ admits a Riemannian metric $overline{g}$ and that there exists a nontrivial Killing vector field on the tangent bundle $(TS^{2n-1},% overline{g})$.

Tangent Bundle Embeddings of Manifolds in Euclidean Space

For a given n-dimensional manifold M we study the problem of finding the smallest integer N(M) such that M admits a smooth embedding in the Euclidean space R without intersecting tangent spaces. We use the Poincaré-Hopf index theorem to prove that N(S) = 4, and construct explicit examples to show that N(S) ≤ 3n + 3, where S denotes the n-sphere. Finally, for any closed manifold M, we show that ...

Lk-BIHARMONIC HYPERSURFACES IN THE EUCLIDEAN SPACE

Chen conjecture states that every Euclidean biharmonic submanifold is minimal. In this paper we consider the Chen conjecture for Lk-operators. The new conjecture (Lk-conjecture) is formulated as follows: If Lkx = 0 then Hk+1 = 0 where x : M → R is an isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold M into the Euclidean space R, Hk+1 is the (k+1)-th mean curvature of M , and Lk is the linearized ope...

Brownian Functionals on Hypersurfaces in Euclidean Space

Using the first exit time for Brownian motion from a smoothly bounded domain in Euclidean space, we define two natural functionals on the space of embedded, compact, oriented, unparametrized hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. We develop explicit formulas for the first variation of each of the functionals and characterize the critical points.

On the Isoptic Hypersurfaces in the n-Dimensional Euclidean Space

The theory of the isoptic curves is widely studied in the Euclidean plane E2 (see [1] and [13] and the references given there). The analogous question was investigated by the authors in the hyperbolic H2 and elliptic E2 planes (see [3], [4]), but in the higher dimensional spaces there is no result according to this topic. In this paper we give a natural extension of the notion of the isoptic cu...

Real Hypersurfaces in a Euclidean Complex Space Form

Let M be an orientable connected and compact real hypersurface of the complex space form C(n+1)/2. If the mean curvature α and the function f = g(Aξ, ξ) of hypersurface M satisfy the inequalityn2α2 ≤ (n2 − 1)δ + f 2, where ξ is the characteristic vector field,A is the shape operator and (n− 1)δ is the infimum of the Ricci curvatures of hypersurface M , then it is shown that α is a constant and ...
