Constructs immersions into pseudo-Riemannian spaces from equiaffine immersions.

We introduce a new family of affine metrics on a locally strictly convex surface $M$ in affine 4-space. Then, we define the symmetric and antisymmetric equiaffine planes associated with each metric. We show that if $M$ is immersed in a locally strictly convex hyperquadric, then the symmetric and the antisymmetric plane…

This paper studies the geometry of immersions into statistical manifolds. A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for statistical manifold structures to be dual to each other for a non-degenerate equiaffine immersion. Then we obtain conditions for realizing an n-dimensional statistical manifold in an (n+1)-dim…

The paper extends Weyl's theorem to equiaffine hypersurfaces.

In this paper, we introduce and study the locally strongly convex equiaffine isoparametric hypersurfaces and equiaffine isoparametric functions on the affine space $A^{n+1}$. Motivated by the case on the Euclidean space $E^{n+1}$, we first introduce the concept of equiaffine parallel hypersurfaces in $A^{n+1}$, obtaini…

Basic aspects of the equiaffine geometry of level sets are developed systematically. As an application there are constructed families of $2n$-dimensional nondegenerate hypersurfaces ruled by $n$-planes, having equiaffine mean curvature zero, and solving the affine normal flow. Each carries a symplectic structure with r…

Study curvature lines of a vector field on surfaces.

A condition for a statistical manifold to have an equiaffine structure is studied. The facts that dual flatness and conjugate symmetry of a statistical manifold are sufficient conditions for a statistical manifold to have an equiaffine structure were obtained in [2] and [3]. In this paper, a fact that a statistical man…

The paper explores flat extensions of connections and their relation to Chern-Simons invariants.

In this paper we prove that all manifolds with affine connection are globally projectively equivalent to some space with equiaffine connection (equiaffine manifold). These manifolds are characterised by a symmetric Ricci tensor.

In this paper, a correspondence via duality is established between the set of locally strongly convex symmetric equiaffine hyperspheres and the set of minimal symmetric Lagrangian submanifolds in a certain complex space form. By using this correspondence theorem, we are able to provide an alternative proof of the class…

We examine geometric representability results for various classes of equiaffine curvature operators. We show every Ricci flat algebraic curvature operator is geometrically realizable by a Ricci flat torsion free connection on the tangent bundle of some smooth manifold.

The paper classifies curves in dual affine and Lorentz-Minkowski planes with constant curvature.

In Euclidean geometry, all metric notions (arc length for curves, the first fundamental form for surfaces, etc.) are derived from the Euclidean inner product on tangent vectors, and this inner product is preserved by the full symmetry group of Euclidean space (translations, rotations, and reflections). In equiaffine ge…

A new curve flow preserves area and converges to a circle.

We present an algebraic investigation of generalized and equiaffine curvature tensors in a given pseudo-Euclidean vector space and study different orthogonal, irreducible decompositions in analogy to the known decomposition of algebraic curvature tensors. We apply the decomposition results to characterize geometric pro…

Unified description of aesthetic curves through self-affinities.

Motivated by the ideas and methods used by Naitoh in the consideration of parallel totally real submanifolds in complex space forms, the author of the present paper successfully makes use of the so called Jordan triple and (restricted) structure Lie algebra associated with a given Jordan algebra to establish a one-to-o…

We introduce and study the equiaffine symmetric {\bf hyperspheres}. For the first step we consider the locally strongly convex ones. In fact, by the idea used by Naitoh, we provide in this paper a direct proof of the complete classification for those affine symmetric hyperspheres. Then, via an earlier result of the fir…

New statistical manifolds derived from identity map biharmonicity.

Consider a codimension $1$ submanifold $N^n\subset M^{n+1}$, where $M^{n+1}\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ is a hypersurface. The envelope of tangent spaces of $M$ along $N$ generalizes the concept of tangent developable surface of a surface along a curve. In this paper, we study the singularities of these envelopes. There ar…

In this paper we solve the problem of finding integrals of equations determining the Killing tensors on an $n$ -dimensional differentiable manifold $M$ endowed with an equiaffine $SL(n, R)$ -structure and discuss possible applications of obtained results in Riemannian geometry.

This paper classifies hypersurfaces in n+1 with parallel Fubini-Pick form.

We investigate the geometric properties of hyperbolic affine flat, affine minimal surfaces in the equiaffine space $\mathbb{A}^3$. We use Cartan's method of moving frames to compute a complete set of local invariants for such surfaces. Using these invariants, we give a complete local classification of such surfaces and…

The paper defines and analyzes $\alpha$-connections in generalized geometry.

For non-degenerate surfaces in $R^4$, a distinguished transversal bundle called affine normal plane bundle was proposed in [Nomizu-Vrancken]. Lagrangian surfaces have remarkable properties with respect to this normal bundle, like for example, the normal bundle being Lagrangian. In this paper we characterize those surfa…

It is proved that the moduli space of all connected compact orientable embedded minimal affine Lagrangian submanifolds of a complex equiaffine space constitutes an infinite dimensional Frechet manifold (if it is not the empty set). The moduli space of all connected compact orientable metric Lagrangian embedded surfaces…

In this paper, we study locally strongly convex centroaffine hypersurfaces with parallel cubic form with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of the centroaffine metric. As the main result, we obtain a complete classification of such centroaffine hypersurfaces. The result of this paper is a centroaffine version of the…

We consider hypersurfaces in the real Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ ($n\geq2$) which are relatively normalized. We give necessary and sufficient conditions a) for a surface of negative Gaussian curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ to be ruled, b) for a hypersurface of positive Gaussian curvature in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ to be…

We present a fundamental theory of curves in the affine plane and the affine space, equipped with the general-affine groups ${\rm GA}(2)={\rm GL}(2,{\bf R})\ltimes {\bf R}^2$ and ${\rm GA}(3)={\rm GL}(3,{\bf R})\ltimes {\bf R}^3$, respectively. We define general-affine length parameter and curvatures and show how such …

In this paper, we study locally strongly convex Tchebychev hypersurfaces, namely the {\it centroaffine totally umbilical hypersurfaces}, in the $(n+1)$-dimensional affine space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. We first make an ordinary-looking observation that such hypersurfaces are characterized by having a Riemannian structure ad…

Proves bijection between smooth conformal immersions and immersions.

An immersion of a compact manifold is tight if it admits the minimal total absolute curvature over all immersions of the manifold. A prominent result in the study of minimal total absolute curvature immersions is the theorem of Chern and Lashof, which characterizes minimal total absolute curvature immersions, and tight…

Motivated by the beautiful theory and the rich applications of harmonic conformal immersions and conformal immersions of constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces, we study biharmonic conformal immersions of surfaces into a generic 3-manifold. We first derive an invariant equation for such immersions, we then try to answe…

We consider isometric immersions into space forms having the second fundamental form parallel at order k. We show that this class of immersions consists of local products, in a suitably defined sense, of parallel immersions and normally flat immersions of flat spaces.

We define virtual immersions, as a generalization of isometric immersions in a pseudo-Riemannian vector space. We show that virtual immersions possess a second fundamental form, which is in general not symmetric. We prove that a manifold admits a virtual immersion with skew symmetric second fundamental form, if and onl…
