Integrable flows on the Grassmannians Gr(N-1,N+1) are defined by the requirement of closedness of the differential N-1 forms $Ω_{N-1}$ of rank N-1 naturally associated with Gr(N-1,N+1). Gauge-invariant parts of these flows, given by the systems of the N-1 quasi-linear differential equations, describe coisotropic deform…

The study examines spacelike hypersurfaces in Minkowski space with constant $σ_{n-1}$ curvature.

In this paper we first establish an optimal Sobolev type inequality for hypersurfaces in $\H^n$(see Theorem \ref{mainthm1}). As an application we obtain hyperbolic Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities for curvature integrals and quermassintegrals. Precisely, we prove a following geometric inequality in the hyperbolic space …

We establish some characterizations of elliptic hyperboloids (resp., ellipsoids) in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean space ${\Bbb E}^{n+1}$, using the $n$-dimensional area of the sections cut off by hyperplanes and the $(n+1)$-dimensional volume of regions between parallel hyperplanes. We also give a few characterizat…

Refines spinorial Sobolev inequality on sphere, proving stability and new properties of Killing spinors.

Let X be a compactum such that dim_Q X < n+1, n>1. We prove that there is a Q-acyclic resolution r: Z-->X from a compactum Z of dim < n+1. This allows us to give a complete description of all the cases when for a compactum X and an abelian group G such that dim_G X < n+1, n>1 there is a G-acyclic resolution r: Z-->X fr…

Paper finds a non-existence theorem for certain translators in high dimensions.

The projection of a compact oriented submanifold M^{n-1} in R^{n+1} on a hyperplane P^{n} can fail to bound any region in P. We call this ``projecting to zero.'' Example: The equatorial S^1 in S^2 projects to zero in any plane containing the x_3-axis. Using currents to make this precise, we show: A lipschitz (homology)…

Let $D(p,q)$ be the usual knot diagram of the $(p,q)$-torus knot, that is, $D(p,q)$ is the closure of the $p$-braid $(σ_1^{-1} σ_2^{-1}... σ_{p-1}^{-1})^q$. As is well-known, $D(p,q)$ and $D(q,p)$ represent the same knot. It is shown that $D(n+1,n)$ can be deformed to $D(n,n+1)$ by a sequence of $\{(n-1)n(2n-1)/6 \} + …

In this paper we will prove that for every integer n>1, there exists a real number H_0<-1 such that every H\in (-\infty,H_0) can be realized as the mean curvature of a embedding of H^{n-1}\times S^1 in the (n+1)-dimensional spaces H^{n+1}. For $n=2$ we explicitly compute the value H_0. For a general value n, we provide…

Let ${\bf H}_{\mathbb C}^n$ be the $n$-dimensional complex hyperbolic space and ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ be the (holomorphic) isometry group. An element $g$ in ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ is called loxodromic or hyperbolic if it has exactly two fixed points on the boundary $\partial {\bf H}_{\mathbb C}^n$. We classify ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ conju…

In this article, we will use inverse mean curvature flow to establish an optimal Sobolev-type inequality for hypersurfaces $Σ$ with nonnegative sectional curvature in $\mathbb{H}^n$. As an application, we prove the hyperbolic Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities for hypersurfaces with nonnegative sectional curvature in $\ma…

The $\hat B_n^{(1)}$-hierarchy is constructed from the standard splitting of the affine Kac-Moody algebra $\hat B_n^{(1)}$, the Drinfeld-Sokolov $\hat B_n^{(1)}$-KdV hierarchy is obtained by pushing down the $\hat B_n^{(1)}$-flows along certain gauge orbit to a cross section of the gauge action. In this paper, we (1) u…

We prove generalized lower Ricci bounds for Euclidean and spherical cones over complete Riemannian manifolds. These cones are regarded as complete metric measure spaces. In general, they will be neither manifolds nor Alexandrov spaces. We show that the Euclidean cone over an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold whose Ricc…

We show some characterizations of hyperspheres in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean space ${\Bbb E}^{n+1}$ with intrinsic and extrinsic properties such as the $n$-dimensional area of the sections cut off by hyperplanes, the $(n+1)$-dimensional volume of regions between parallel hyperplanes, and the $n$-dimensional surf…

Let $\mathbb{R}_{+}^{n+1}$ \ be the half-space model of the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}.$ It is proved that if $Γ\subset\left\{ x_{n+1}=0\right\} \subset\partial_{\infty}\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ is a bounded $C^{0}$ Euclidean graph over $\left\{ x_{1}=0,\text{ }x_{n+1}=0\right\}$ then, given $\left\vert H\right\vert <…

In this paper we introduce the fourth fundamental form for the hypersurfaces in $H^{n+1}$ and the space-like hypersurfaces in $S_{1}^{n+1}$ and discuss the conformality of the normal Gauss maps of the hypersurfaces in $H^{n+1}$ and $S_{1}^{n+1}$. Particularly, we discuss the surfaces with conformal normal Gauss maps in…

We consider Lie groups ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ and ${\rm Sp}(n,1)$ that act as the isometries of the complex and quaternionic hyperbolic spaces respectively. We classify pairs of semisimple elements in ${\rm Sp}(n,1)$ and ${\rm SU}(n,1)$ up to conjugacy. This gives local parametrization of the representations $ρ$ in $Hom(F_2, …

Let $M^n$ be a compact hypersurface with constant mean curvature $H$ in $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$. Denote by $S$ the squared norm of the second fundamental form of $M$. We prove that there exists a positive constant $γ(n)$ depending only on $n$ such that if $|H|\leqγ(n)$ and $β(n,H)\leq S\leqβ(n,H)+\frac{n}{23}$, then $S\equi…

We obtain a complete classification of proper biharmonic hypersurfaces with at most three distinct principal curvatures in sphere spaces with arbitrary dimension. Precisely, together with known results of Balmuş-Montaldo-Oniciuc, we prove that compact orientable proper biharmonic hypersurfaces with at most three distin…

In this paper, we study conformally flat hypersurfaces of dimension $n(\geq 4)$ in $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ using the framework of Möbius geometry. First, we classify and explicitly express the conformally flat hypersurfaces of dimension $n(\geq 4)$ with constant Möbius scalar curvature under the Möbius transformation group …

For a manifold N embedded inside euclidean space R^{n+1}, we produce a coloured operad that acts on the space of maps from N to M, where M is a compact, oriented, smooth manifold. For N the unit sphere, we indicate how this gives homological actions, generalizing the action of the Cacti operad and retrieving the Chas-S…

In this paper we prove the following geometric inequality in the hyperbolic space $\H^n$ ($n\ge 5)$, which is a hyperbolic Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality, \[\begin{array}{rcl} \ds \int_Σ\s_4 d μ\ge \ds\vs C_{n-1}^4ω_{n-1}\left\{\left(\frac{|Σ|}{ω_{n-1}} \right)^\frac 12 + \left(\frac{|Σ|}{ω_{n-1}} \right)^{\frac 12\frac…

We consider the $\mathfrak{aff}(n|1)-$module structure on the spaces of differential bilinear operators acting on the superspaces of weighted densities. We classify $\mathfrak{aff}(n|1)-$invariant binary differential operators acting on the spaces of weighted densities. This result allows us to compute the first $\math…

There are well-known monomorphisms between the Artin groups of finite type $\arA_n$, $\arB_n=\arC_n$ and affine type $\tilde \arA_{n-1}$, $\tilde\arC_{n-1}$. The Artin group $A(\arA_n)$ is isomorphic to the $(n+1)$-strand braid group $B_{n+1}$, and the other three Artin groups are isomorphic to some subgroups of $B_{n+…

We construct in an explicit algebraic form a family of complete noncompact Ricci-flat metrics which generalize Calabi metrics in real dimension $4(n+1)$ and with holonomy $SU(2(n+1))$.

In this paper, we investigate minimizing properties of the map $x/\|x\|$ from the Euclidean unit ball $\mathbf{B}^{n}$ to its boundary $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, for the weighted energy functionals $E^n\_{p,α}(u)=\int\_{\mathbf{B}^{n}} \|x\|^α\|\nabla u\|^p dx$. We establish the following induction principle: if the map $\fra…

This paper is devoted to exploring the relationship between the $[1,n)\ni p$-capacity and the surface-area in $\mathbb R^{n\ge 2}$ which especially shows: if $Ω\subset\mathbb R^n$ is a convex, compact, smooth set with its interior $Ω^\circ\not=\emptyset$ and the mean curvature $H(\partialΩ,\cdot)>0$ of its boundary $\p…

A classical result of A.D. Alexandrov states that a connected compact smooth $n-$dimensional manifold without boundary, embedded in $\Bbb R^{n+1}$, and such that its mean curvature is constant, is a sphere. Here we study the problem of symmetry of $M$ in a hyperplane $X_{n+1}=$constant in case $M$ satisfies: for any tw…

We show that many surfaces in $\R^{N^2-1}$ can be generated by harmonic maps of $S^2\to CP^{N-1}$. These surfaces are based on the projectors in $CP^{N-1}$ which describe maps of $S^2\to CP^{N-1}$. In the case when these maps form the Veronese sequence all the surfaces have constant curvature.

Let $M^{n+1}_1$ be a light-like geodesically complete Lorentzian $(n+1)$-manifold satisfying the null energy condition. We show that null hypersurfaces properly immersed in $M^{n+1}_1$ are totally geodesic.

We generalize the second pinching theorem for minimal hypersurfaces in a sphere due to Peng-Terng, Wei-Xu, Zhang, and Ding-Xin to the case of hypersurfaces with small constant mean curvature. Let $M^n$ be a compact hypersurface with constant mean curvature $H$ in $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$. Denote by $S$ the squared norm of th…

The Lie group SO_0(n, 1) has the left-invariant metric coming from the Killing-Cartan form. The maximal compact subgroup SO(n) of the isometry group acts from the left. The geometry of the quotient space of the homogeneous submersion SO_0(n, 1) -> SO(n)\SO_0(n, 1) is investigated. The space is expressed as a warped pro…

A well-known conjecture of Yau states that the area of one of Clifford minimal hypersurfaces $S^k\big{(}\sqrt{\frac{k}{n}}\, \big{)}\times S^{n-k}\big{(}\sqrt{\frac{n-k}{n}}\, \big{)}$ gives the lowest value of area among all non-totally geodesic compact minimal hypersurfaces in the unit sphere $S^{n+1}(1)$. The presen…

The paper divides minimal hypersurfaces in a ball into two parts.

Let $Z \to Y^{2n+1}$ be the bundle of Legendrian $n$-planes over a contact manifold $Y$. We consider a foliation of $Z$ by canonical lifts of Legendrian submanifolds, called \emph{Legendrian submanifold path geometry}, whose flat model is \[ Sp(n+1, R) \to RP^{2n+1}. \] The equivalence problem provides an $sp(n+1, R)$ …

The paper classifies solutions to a specific Toda system around a singular source.

In this short note, we formulate three problems relating to nonnegative scalar curvature (NNSC) fill-ins. Loosely speaking, the first two problems focus on: When are $(n-1)$-dimensional Bartnik data $\big(Σ_i ^{n-1}, γ_i, H_i\big)$, $i=1,2$, NNSC-cobordant? (i.e., there is an $n$-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold…
