Jorge-Koutrofiotis and Pigola-Rigoli-Setti proved sharp sectional curvature estimates for extrinsically bounded submanifolds. Alias, Bessa and Montenegro showed that these estimates hold on properly immersed cylindrically bounded submanifolds. On the other hand, Alias, Bessa and Dajczer proved sharp mean curvature esti…

We consider a non-negative biminimal properly immersed submanifold $M$ (that is, a biminimal properly immersed submanifold with $λ\geq0$) in a complete Riemannian manifold $N$ with non-positive sectional curvature. Assume that the sectional curvature $K^N$ of $N$ satisfies $K^N\geq-L(1+{\rm dist}_N(\cdot, q_0)^2)^{\fra…

Using a deep criteria due to Pigola, Rigoli and Setti, we prove that a geodesically complete, properly immersed submanifold M of a stochastically complete Riemannian manifold N is stochastically complete. This implies that the weak Omori-Yau maximum principle holds on M. As geometric application, we prove sectional cur…

We consider a complete biharmonic immersed submanifold $M$ in an Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^N$. Assume that the immersion is proper, that is, the preimage of every compact set in $\mathbb{E}^N$ is also compact in $M$. Then, we prove that $M$ is minimal. It is considered as an affirmative answer to the global version o…

In this article, we study properly immersed complete noncompact submanifolds in a complete shrinking gradient Ricci soliton with weighted mean curvature vector bounded in norm. We prove that such a submanifold must have polynomial volume growth under some mild assumption on the potential function. On the other hand, if…

We show that the spectrum of a complete submanifold properly immersed into a ball of a Riemannian manifold is discrete, provided the norm of the mean curvature vector is sufficiently small. In particular, the spectrum of a complete minimal surface properly immersed into a ball of $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ is discrete. This give…

We consider a complete nonnegative biminimal submanifold M (that is, a complete biminimal submanifold with lambda>=0) in a Euclidean space E^N. Assume that the immersion is proper, that is, the preimage of every compact set in E^N is also compact in M. Then, we prove that M is minimal. From this result, we give an affi…

We obtain an estimate of the Cheeger isoperimetric constant in terms of the volume growth for a properly immersed submanifold in a Riemannian manifold which possesses at least one pole and sectional curvature bounded from above .

We prove, under a certain boundedness condition at infinity on the $(\bar{X}^{\top}, \bar{X}^{\bot})$-component of the second fundamental form, the vanishing of the essential spectrum of a complete minimal $\bar{X}$-bounded and $\bar{X}$-properly immersed submanifold on a Riemannian manifold endowed with a strongly con…

We establish an analogue of Ratner's orbit closure theorem for any connected closed subgroup generated by unipotent elements in $\operatorname{SO}(d,1)$ acting on the space $Γ\backslash \operatorname{SO}(d,1)$, assuming that the associated hyperbolic manifold $M=Γ\backslash \mathbb H^d$ is a convex cocompact manifold w…

Paper shows how to evenly distribute intersections in hyperbolic spaces.

In this note we consider the Liouville type theorem for a properly immersed submanifold $M$ in a complete Riemmanian manifold $N$. Assume that the sectional curvature $K^N$ of $N$ satisfies $K^N\geq-L(1+dist_N(\cdot,q_0)^2)^\fracα{2}$ for some $L>0, 2>α\geq 0$ and $q_0\in N$. (i) If $Δ|\vec{H}|^{2p-2}\geq k|\vec{H}|^{2…

Upper bounds for essential spectrum of minimal submanifolds linked to volume growth.

We show that large classes of non-arithmetic hyperbolic $n$-manifolds, including the hybrids introduced by Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro and many of their generalizations, have only finitely many finite-volume immersed totally geodesic hypersurfaces. In higher codimension, we prove finiteness for geodesic submanifolds o…

We show that a complete $m$-dimensional immersed submanifold $M$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $a(M)<1$ is properly immersed and have finite topology, where $a(M)\in [0,\infty]$ is an scaling invariant number that gives the rate that the norm of the second fundamental form decays to zero at infinity. The class of submanifol…

We study the volume of extrinsic balls and the capacity of extrinsic annuli in minimal submanifolds which are properly immersed with controlled radial sectional curvatures into an ambient manifold with a pole. The key results are concerned with the comparison of those volumes and capacities with the corresponding entit…

We prove a version of the well-known Denjoy-Ahlfors theorem about the number of asymptotic values of an entire function for properly immersed minimal surfaces of arbitrary codimension in R^N. The finiteness of the number of ends is proved for minimal submanifolds with finite projective volume. We show, as a corollary, …

New findings on domains without parabolic minimal submanifolds and weakly hyperbolic domains.

Constructs immersions into pseudo-Riemannian spaces from equiaffine immersions.

Let $P$ be a submanifold properly immersed in a rotationally symmetric manifold having a pole and endowed with a weight $e^h$. The aim of this paper is twofold. First, by assuming certain control on the $h$-mean curvature of $P$, we establish comparisons for the $h$-capacity of extrinsic balls in $P$, from which we ded…

While it is well known from examples that no interesting `halfspace theorem' holds for properly immersed complete $n$-dimensional self-translating mean curvature flow solitons in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, we show that they must all obey a general `bi-halfspace theorem': Two transverse vertical halfspaces can …

$ξ$-submanifold in the Euclidean space $\bbr^{m+p}$ is a natural extension of the concept of self-shrinker to the mean curvature flow in $\bbr^{m+p}$. It is also a generalization of the $λ$-hypersurface defined by Q.-M. Cheng et al to arbitrary codimensions. In this paper, some characterizations for $ξ$-submanifolds ar…

Study shows submanifolds can't be immersed in certain spaces.

This paper is a continuation of math.DG/0408005. We first construct special Lagrangian submanifolds of the Ricci-flat Stenzel metric (of holonomy SU(n)) on the cotangent bundle of S^n by looking at the conormal bundle of appropriate submanifolds of S^n. We find that the condition for the conormal bundle to be special L…

Let $M^m$ be a minimal properly immersed submanifold in an ambient space close, in a suitable sense, to the space form $\mathbb{N}^n_k$ of curvature $-k\le 0$. In this paper, we are interested in the relation between the density function $Θ(r)$ of $M^m$ and the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator. In particular, …

Motivated by the large ammount of results obtained for minimal and positive constant mean curvature surfaces in several ambient spaces, the aim of this paper is to obtain half-space theorems for properly immersed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose mean curvature is given as a prescribed function of its Gauss map. In orde…

We prove that the ends of a properly immersed simply or one connected minimal surface in H(2)xR contained in a slab of height less than πof H(2)xR, are multi-graphs. When such a surface is embedded then the ends are graphs. When embedded and simply connected, it is an entire graph.

We study complete finite topology immersed surfaces $Σ$ in complete Riemannian $3$-manifolds $N$ with sectional curvature $K_N\leq -a^2\leq 0$, such that the absolute mean curvature function of $Σ$ is bounded from above by $a$ and its injectivity radius function is not bounded away from zero on each of its annular end …

This paper is an overview of the idea of using contact geometry to construct invariants of immersions and embeddings. In particular, it discusses how to associate a contact manifold to any manifold and a Legendrian submanifold to an embedding or immersion. We then discuss recent work that creates invariants of immersio…

We give some fundamental properties of the induced structures on submanifolds immersed in almost product or locally product Riemannian manifolds. We study the induced structure by the composition of two isometric immersions on submanifolds in an almost product Riemannian manifold. We give an effective construction for …

We study properly embedded and immersed p(pseudohermitian)-minimal surfaces in the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group. From the recent work of Cheng, Hwang, Malchiodi, and Yang, we learn that such surfaces must be ruled surfaces. There are two types of such surfaces: band type and annulus type according to their topology. …
