The study characterizes hypersurfaces in weighted cylinders and generalizes confinement properties.

What are appropriate geometric conditions ensuring that a complete Riemannian 2-cylinder without conjugate points is flat? Examples with nonpositive curvature show that one has to assume that the ends of the cylinder open sublinearly. We show that sublinear growth of the ends is indeed sufficient if it is measured by t…

We investigate minimal helix submanifolds of any dimension and codimension immersed in Euclidean space. Our main result proves that a ruled minimal helix submanifold is a cylinder. As an application we classify complex helix submanifolds of $\mathbb{C}^n$: They are extrinsic products with a complex line as a factor. Th…

We prove flatness of complete Riemannian planes and cylinders without conjugate points under optimal conditions on the area growth.

The study examines curvature conditions on a cylinder and its boundary.

We give a full description of totally geodesic submanifolds in the tangent bundle of a Riemannian 2-manifold of constant curvature and present a new class of a cylinder-type totally geodesic submanifolds in the general case.

We use a construction which we call generalized cylinders to give a new proof of the fundamental theorem of hypersurface theory. It has the advantage of being very simple and the result directly extends to semi-Riemannian manifolds and to embeddings into spaces of constant curvature. We also give a new way to identify …

We study constrained generalized Killing spinors over the metric cone and cylinder of a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold, developing a toolkit which can be used to investigate certain problems arising in supersymmetric flux compactifications of supergravity theories. Using geometric algebra techniques, we give conceptually…

New subdomains found on cylinder and sphere with nonconstant curvatures.

We prove the existence of a countable family of Delaunay type domains Ω_j in M^n x R, where M^n is the Riemannian manifold S^n or H^n and n is at least 2, bifurcating from the cylinder B^n x R (where B^n is a geodesic ball of radius 1 in M^n) for which the first eigenfunction of the Laplace-Beltrami operator with zero …

New theorem on 3-manifolds with curvature and convex boundary.

We prove that if the unit codisc bundle of a closed Riemannian manifold embeds symplectically into a symplectic cylinder of radius one then the length of the shortest nontrivial closed geodesic is at most half the area of the unit disc.

A $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold is called Killing submersion if it admits a Riemannian submersion over a surface such that its fibers are the trajectories of a complete unit Killing vector field. In this paper, we give a characterization of proper biharmonic CMC surfaces in a Killing submersion. In the last part,…

We give an estimate of the mean curvature of a complete submanifold lying inside a closed cylinder $B(r)\times\R^{\ell}$ in a product Riemannian manifold $N^{n-\ell}\times\R^{\ell}$. It follows that a complete hypersurface of given constant mean curvature lying inside a closed circular cylinder in Euclidean space canno…

In this note, we give natural extensions to cylinders and tori of a classical result due to T. Takahashi about minimal immersions into spheres. More precisely, we deal with Euclidean isometric immersions whose projections in R^N satisfy a spectral condition of their Laplacian.

We study a Neumann problem related to the evolution of graphs under mean curvature flow in Riemannian manifolds endowed with a Killing vector field. We prove that in a particular case these graphs converge to a bounded minimal graph which contacts the cylinder over the domain orthogonally along its boundary.

We show that a Riemannian $3$-manifold with non-negative scalar curvature is flat if it contains an area-minimizing cylinder. This scalar-curvature analogue of the classical splitting theorem of J.~Cheeger and D.~Gromollhas been conjectured by D.~Fischer-Colbrie and R.~Schoen and by M.~Cai and G.~Galloway.

We define cylinder knots as billiard knots in a cylinder. We present a necessary condition for cylinder knots: after dividing cylinder knots by possible rotational symmetries we obtain ribbon knots. We obtain an upper bound for the number of cylinder knots with two fixed parameters (out of three). In addition we prove …

We prove that a gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with fourth order divergence-free Riemannian tensor is rigid. For the $4$-dimensional case, we show that any gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with fourth order divergence-free Riemannian tensor is either Einstein, or a finite quotient of the Gaussian shrinking soliton $\…

Bounds on Steklov eigenvalues for manifolds with boundary.

We give a new proof of the existence (\cite{HM}, \cite{Ren}) of a Jenkins-Strebel differential $Φ$ on a Riemann surface $\SR$ with prescribed heights of cylinders by considering the harmonic map from $\SR$ to the leaf space of the vertical foliation of $Φ$, thought of as a Riemannian graph. The novelty of the argument …

In this paper we provide a new method for establishing the rotational symmetry of the solutions to a couple of very classical overdetermined problems arising in potential theory, in both the exterior and the interior punctured domain. Thanks to a conformal reformulation of the problems, we obtain Riemannian manifolds w…

Two ancient solutions to Gauss curvature flow are identified for cylinders.

We reconstruct a Riemannian manifold and a Hermitian vector bundle with compatible connection from the hyperbolic Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator associated with the wave equation of the connection Laplacian. The boundary data is local and the reconstruction is up to the natural gauge transformations of the problem. As a…

We study spectral properties of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on two relevant almost-Riemannian manifolds, namely the Grushin structures on the cylinder and on the sphere. This operator contains first order diverging terms caused by the divergence of the volume. We get explicit descriptions of the spectrum and the eige…

The paper develops a method to map knots in a cylinder to virtual-flat knots.

In this paper we show how the existence of a certain stable cylinder determines (locally) the ambient manifold where it is immersed. This cylinder has to verify a {\it bifurcation phenomena}, we make this explicit in the introduction. In particular, the existence of such a stable cylinder implies that the ambient manif…

Cylinders in warped product spaces have zero curvature.

The paper bounds radii and curvatures in Riemannian manifolds.

We establish a vanishing result for the $L_{q,p}$-cohomology ($q\ge p$) of a twisted cylinder, which is a generalization of a warped cylinder. The result is new even for warped cylinders. We base on the methods for proving the $(p,q)$ Sobolev--Poincaré inequality developed by L.~Shartser.

The paper examines the stability of Killing cylinders in hyperbolic space.

We show that the first eigenvalue of a closed Riemannian surface normalized by the area can be strictly increased by attaching a cylinder or a cross cap. As a consequence we obtain the existence of maximizing metrics for the normalized first eigenvalue on any closed surface of fixed topological type. Since these metric…

Knots parametrized in cylinder coordinates by t -> (st, 3 + cos(nt), cos(mt + φ)) share properties of Lissajous and billiard knots in a cylinder. We use these 'billiard knots in a flat solid torus' to study two topics: when is Z(s,n,m) equal to Z(s,m,n)? And: why are the determinants of certain Lissajous and billiard k…
