We define general rotational surfaces of elliptic and hyperbolic type in the pseudo-Euclidean 4-space with neutral metric which are analogous to the general rotational surfaces of C. Moore in the Euclidean 4-space. We study Lorentz general rotational surfaces with plane meridian curves and give the complete classificat…

We say that a topologically embedded 3-sphere in a smoothing of Euclidean 4-space is a barrier provided, roughly, no diffeomorphism of the 4-manifold moves the 3-sphere off itself. In this paper we construct infinitely many one parameter families of distinct smoothings of 4-space with barrier 3-spheres. \par The existe…

We define the notions of $S_t^1\times S_s^1$-valued lightcone Gauss maps, lightcone pedal surface and Lorentzian lightcone height function of Lorentzian surface in semi-Euclidean 4-space and established the relationships between singularities of these objects and geometric invariants of the surface as applications of s…

We consider computational complexity of problems related to the fundamental group and the first homology group of (embeddable) $2$-complexes. We show, as an extension of an earlier work, that computing first homology of $2$-complexes is equivalent in computational complexity to matrix diagonalization. That is, the usua…

In this paper, we introduce canonical principal direction (CPD) submanifolds with higher codimension in Euclidean spaces. We obtain the complete classification of surfaces endowed with CPD in the Euclidean 4-space.

Minimal surfaces of general type in Euclidean 4-space are characterized with the conditions that the ellipse of curvature at any point is centered at this point and has two different principal axes. Any minimal surface of general type locally admits geometrically determined parameters - canonical parameters. In such pa…

We study surfaces with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field in Euclidean or Minkowski 4-space. On any such surface we introduce special isothermal parameters (canonical parameters) and describe these surfaces in terms of three invariant functions. We prove that any surface with parallel normalized mean curva…

We describe the relationship between complex-valued harmonic morphisms from Minkowski 4-space} and the shear-free ray congruences of mathematical physics. Then we show how a horizontally conformal submersion on a domain of Euclidean 3-space gives the boundary values at infinity of a complex-valued harmonic morphism on …

A simple proof is given of the following result first observed by J. Adachi: embedded circles tangent to the standard Engel structure on Euclidean 4-space are classified, up to isotopy via such embeddings, by their rotation number.

We characterize Willmore tori in the 4-sphere with nontrivial normal bundle as Twistor projections of elliptic curves in complex projective space or as inverted minimal tori (with planar ends) in Euclidean 4-space.

Meridian surfaces in the Euclidean 4-space are two-dimensional surfaces which are one-parameter systems of meridians of a standard rotational hypersurface.

The purpose of this paper is, first, to give an algorithm that enables to obtain the lines of curvature on parametric hypersurfaces in Euclidean 4-space, and then, to obtain the curvatures of such lines by using the extended Darboux frame along the curve.

Motivated by Ilmanen's correspondence, we present an explicit solution to the prescribed Hoffman-Osserman Gauss map problem for non-minimal translators to the mean curvature flow in Euclidean 4-space. We propose a conjecture on the non-existence of Jenkins-Serrin type unit-speed graphical translators.

On a complete manifold, such as Euclidean 3-space or hyperbolic 3-space, the limit at infinity of the norm of the Higgs field is called the mass of the monopole. We show the existence, on hypebolic 3-space, of monopoles with given magnetic charge and arbitrary mass. Previously, aside from charge one monopoles, existenc…

The notion of ideal immersions was introduced by the author in 1990s. Roughly speaking, an ideal immersion of a Riemannian manifold into a real space form is a nice isometric immersion which produces the least possible amount of tension from the ambient space at each point. In this paper, we classify all ideal hypersur…
