Every biharmonic Wintgen ideal submanifold in a Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature is either minimal or has constant mean curvature.

A submanifold in space forms satisfies the well-known DDVV inequality due to De Smet, Dillen, Verstraelen and Vrancken. The submanifold attaining equality in the DDVV inequality at every point is called Wintgen ideal submanifold. As conformal invariant objects, Wintgen ideal submanifolds are studied in this paper using…

The paper classifies submanifolds in space forms that meet curvature conditions.

Wintgen ideal submanifolds in space forms are those ones attaining equality at every point in the so-called DDVV inequality which relates the scalar curvature, the mean curvature and the normal scalar curvature. This property is conformal invariant; hence we study them in the framework of Moebius geometry, and restrict…

Wintgen ideal submanifolds in space forms are those ones attaining equality pointwise in the so-called DDVV inequality which relates the scalar curvature, the mean curvature and the scalar normal curvature.

Wintgen proved in [P. Wintgen, Sur l'inégalité de Chen-Willmore, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 288 (1979), 993--995] that the Gauss curvature $K$ and the normal curvature $K^D$ of a surface in the Euclidean 4-space $E^4$ satisfy $K+|K^D|\leq H^2,$ where $H^2$ is the squared mean curvature. A surface $M$ in $\E4$ is called …

A submanifold in a real space form attaining equality in the DDVV inequality at every point is called a Wintgen ideal submanifold. They are invariant objects under the Moebius transformations. In this paper, we classify those Wintgen ideal submanifolds of dimension m>3 which are Moebius homogeneous. There are three cla…

Wintgen ideal surfaces in E^4 form an important family of surfaces, namely surfaces with circular ellipse of curvature. Obviously, Wintgen ideal surfaces satisfy the pointwise equality K+K_N=H^2.

In the present paper we obtain a Wintgen inequality for statistica…

This paper surveys some of the known results on $δ$-ideal CR submanifolds in complex space forms, the nearly Kähler $6$-sphere and odd dimensional unit spheres. In addition, the relationship between $δ$-ideal CR submanifolds and critical points of the $λ$-bienergy is mentioned. Some topics on variational problem for th…

Roughly speaking, an ideal immersion of a Riemannian manifold into a real space form is an isometric immersion which produces the least possible amount of tension from the ambient space at each point of the submanifold. The main purpose of this paper is to completely classify all non-minimal ideal submanifolds of real …

A biconservative submanifold of a Riemannian manifold is a sub- manifold with divergence free stress-energy tensor with respect to bienergy. These are generalizations of biharamonic submanifolds. In 2013, B. Y. Chen and M.I. Munteanu proved that $δ(2)$-ideal and $δ(3)$-ideal biharmonic hypersurfaces in Euclidean space …

Minimal biharmonic hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces are ideal.

By using T. Oprea's optimization methods on submanifolds, we give another proof of the inequalities relating the normalized $δ-$Casorati curvature $\hatδ_c(n-1)$ for submanifolds in real space forms. Also, inequalities relating the normalized $δ-$Casorati curvature $δ_C(n-1)$ for submanifolds in real space forms are ob…

Maps Lagrangian submanifolds to quaternionic projective space, proving one-to-one correspondences.

In the theory of finite type submanifolds, null 2-type submanifolds are the most simple ones, besides 1-type submanifolds (cf. e.g., [3, 12]). In particular, the classification problems of null 2-type hypersurfaces are quite interesting and of fundamentally important. In this paper, we prove that every $δ$(3)-ideal nul…

We study blow-ups in generalized complex geometry. To that end we introduce the concept of holomorphic ideal, which allows one to define a blow-up in the category of smooth manifolds. We then investigate which generalized complex submanifolds are suitable for blowing up. Two classes naturally appear; generalized Poisso…

We classify Lagrangian submanifolds of complex space forms, whose second fundamental form can be written in a certain way, depending on a real parameter. For some special values of this parameter, the resulting submanifolds are ideal in the sense that they realize equality in an inequality for a Chen's delta-curvature.

It is known that principal orbits of Hermann actions on a symmetric space of non-compact type are curvature-adapted isoparametric submanifolds having no focal point of non-Euclidean type on the ideal boundary of the ambient symmetric space. In this paper, we investigate the mean curvature flows for such a curvature-ada…

We consider the evolution of a compact segment of an analytic curve on the unit tangent bundle of a finite volume hyperbolic $n$-manifold under the geodesic flow. Suppose that the curve is not contained in a stable leaf of the flow. It is shown that under the geodesic flow, the normalized parameter measure on the curve…

The well known Chen's conjecture on biharmonic submanifolds states that a biharmonic submanifold in a Euclidean space is a minimal one ([10-13, 16, 18-21, 8]). For the case of hypersurfaces, we know that Chen's conjecture is true for biharmonic surfaces in $\mathbb E^3$ ([10], [24]), biharmonic hypersurfaces in $\mathb…

Let $Σ$ be a $k$-dimensional complete proper minimal submanifold in the Poincaré ball model $B^n$ of hyperbolic geometry. If we consider $Σ$ as a subset of the unit ball $B^n$ in Euclidean space, we can measure the Euclidean volumes of the given minimal submanifold $Σ$ and the ideal boundary $\partial_\infty Σ$, say $\…

In this paper, we study generalized constant ratio (GCR) hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces. We mainly focus on the hypersurfaces in $\mathbb E^4$. First, we deal with $δ(2)$-ideal GCR hypersurfaces. Then, we study on hypersurfaces with constant (first) mean curvature. Finally, we obtain the complete classification of G…

Let I be a symmetrically-normed ideal of the space of bounded operators acting on a Hilbert space H. Let ${p_i}_1 ^w$ $(1\leq w \leq \infty)$ be a family of mutually orthogonal projections on H. The pinching operator associated with the former family of projections is given by P: I --> I, P(x)=\sum_{i=1}^{w} p_i x p_i.…

We study the geometrical structure of the coadjoint orbits of an arbitrary complex or real Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ containing some ideal ${\mathfrak n}$. It is shown that any coadjoint orbit in ${\mathfrak g}^*$ is a bundle with the affine subspace of ${\mathfrak g}^*$ as its fibre. This fibre is an isotropic subma…

Superconformal surfaces in Euclidean space are the ones for which the ellipse of curvature at any point is a nondegenerate circle.

We show that shock formation corresponds to a focal point of the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms regard…

We consider, for each smooth manifold $M$, the set $\mathbb{M}$ comprised by all the primary ideals of $\mathcal{C}^\infty(M)$ which are closed and whose radical is maximal. The classical Lie theory of jets (jets of submanifolds) must be extended to $\mathbb{M}$ in order to have nice functorial properties. We will begi…
