We prove a codimension reduction and congruence theorem for compact $n$-dimensional submanifolds of $\mathbb{S}^{n+p}$ that admit a mean convex isometric embedding into $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}_+$ using a Reilly type formula for space forms.
We study isometric immersions $f: M^n \rightarrow \mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ into hyperbolic space of dimension $n+1$ of a complete Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ on which a compact connected group of intrinsic isometries acts with principal orbits of codimension one. We provide a characterization if either $n \geq 3$ and $M^n$ is compact, or $n \geq 5$ and the connected components of the set where the sectional curvature is constant and equal to $-1$ are bounded.
We show that a minimal homogeneous submanifold $M^n$, $n\geq 5$, of a hyperbolic space up to codimension two is totally geodesic.
We present an intrinsic Klotz-Osserman type theorem for surfaces in terms of Codazzi operators. Additionally, utilizing Simons' formula, we investigate surfaces with parallel mean curvature with non-positive Gaussian curvature in product spaces.
We consider Riemannian $n$-manifolds $M$ with nontrivial $κ$-nullity "distribution" of the curvature tensor $R$, namely, the variable rank distribution of tangent subspaces to $M$ where $R$ coincides with the curvature tensor of a space of constant curvature $κ$ ($κ\in\mathbb R$) is nontrivial. We obtain classification theorems under diferent additional assumptions, in terms of low nullity/conullity, controlled scalar curvature or existence of quotients of finite volume. We prove new results, but also revisit previous ones.
We show that the evolution of isoparametric hypersurfaces of Riemannian manifolds by the mean curvature flow is given by a reparametrization of the parallel family in short time, as long as the uniqueness of the mean curvature flow holds for the initial data and the corresponding ambient space. As an application, we provide a class of Riemannian manifolds that admit hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures, which are not isoparametric hypersurfaces. Furthermore, for a class of ambient spaces, we show that the singularities developed by the mean curvature flow with isoparametric hypersurfaces as the initial data are Type I singularities. We apply our results to describe the evolution of isoparametric hypersurfaces by the mean curvature flow in ambient spaces with nonconstant sectional curvature, such as homogenous 3-manifolds $\mathbb{E}(κ, τ)$ with 4-dimensional isometry groups, and Riemannian products $\mathbb{Q}^2_{c_1} \times \mathbb{Q}^2_{c_2}$ of space forms.
In this short survey, we show how two (classes of) known examples of inhomogeneous, curvature homogeneous Riemannian manifolds with nontrivial $κ$-nullity can be seen as deformations of homogeneous metrics along the vertical distribution of an integrable Riemannian submersion. We also pose two open questions.
We use techniques based on the splitting tensor to explicitly integrate the Codazzi equation along the relative nullity distribution and express the second fundamental form in terms of the Jacobi tensor of the ambient space. This approach allows us to easily recover several important results in the literature on complete submanifolds with relative nullity of the sphere as well as derive new strong consequences in hyperbolic and Euclidean spaces. Among the consequences of our main theorem are results on submanifolds with sufficiently high index of relative nullity, submanifolds with nonpositive extrinsic curvature and submanifolds with integrable relative conullity. We show that no complete submanifold of hyperbolic space with sufficiently high index of relative nullity has extrinsic geometry bounded away from zero. As an application of these results, we derive an interesting corollary for complete submanifolds of hyperbolic space with nonpositive extrinsic curvature and discourse on their relation to Milnor's conjecture about complete surfaces with second fundamental form bounded away from zero. Finally, we also prove that every complete Euclidean submanifold with integrable relative conullity is a cylinder over the relative conullity.
We show that a real Kähler submanifold in codimension $6$ is essentially a holomorphic submanifold of another real Kähler submanifold in lower codimension if the second fundamental form is not sufficiently degenerated. We also give a shorter proof of this result when the real Kähler submanifold is minimal, using recent results about isometric rigidity.
We extend the concept of genuine rigidity of submanifolds by allowing mild singularities, mainly to obtain new global rigidity results and unify the known ones. As one of the consequences, we simultaneously extend and unify Sacksteder and Dajczer-Gromoll theorems by showing that any compact $n$-dimensional submanifold of ${\mathbb R}^{n+p}$ is singularly genuinely rigid in ${\mathbb R}^{n+q}$, for any $q < \min\{5,n\} - p$. Unexpectedly, the singular theory becomes much simpler and natural than the regular one, even though all technical codimension assumptions, needed in the regular case, are removed.
We proved that a conformal immersion of $M_0^{n_0}\times M_1^{n_1}$ as an hipersurface in a Euclidean space must be an extrinsic product of immersions, under the assumption that $n_0, n_1 \geq 2$ and that $M^{n_0}_0\times M^{n_1}_1$ is not conformally flat. We also stated a similar theorem for an arbitrary number of factors, more precisely, a conformal immersion $f\colon M^{n_0}_0 \times \cdots \times M^{n_k}_k \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+k}$ must be an extrinsic product of immersions if one of the factors admits a plane with vanishing curvature and the remaining factors are not flat.
