How a projectively flat geometry regulates $F(R)$-gravity theory?

In the present paper we examine a projectively flat spacetime solution of $F(R)$-gravity theory. It is seen that once we deploy projective flatness in the geometry of the spacetime, the matter field has constant energy density and isotropic pressure. We then make the condition weaker and discuss the effects of projectively harmonic spacetime geometry in $F(R)$-gravity theory and show that the spacetime in this case reduces to a generalised Robertson-Walker spacetime with a shear, vorticity, acceleration free perfect fluid with a specific form of expansion scalar presented in terms of the scale factor. Role of conharmonic curvature tensor in the spacetime geometry is also briefly discussed. Some analysis of the obtained results are conducted in terms of couple of $F(R)$-gravity models.

How a conformally flat (GR)4 impacts Gauss-Bonnet gravity?

First and foremost, we show that a 4-dimensional conformally flat generalized Ricci recurrent spacetime $(GR)_4$ is an Einstein manifold. We examine such a spacetime as a solution of $f(R, G)$-gravity theory and it is shown that the additional terms from the modification of the gravitational sector can be expressed as a perfect fluid. Several energy conditions are investigated with $f(R, G) = R +\sqrt{G}$ and $f(R, G) = R^2+GlnG$. For both the models, weak, null and dominant energy conditions are satisfied while strong energy condition is violated, which is a good agreement with the recent observational studies which reveals that the current universe is in accelerating phase.

A Conformally Flat Generalized Ricci Recurrent Spacetime in F(R)-Gravity

In the present paper we study a conformally flat generalized Ricci recurrent perfect fluid spacetime with constant Ricci scalar as a solution of modified $F(R)$-gravity theory. We show that a Robertson-Walker spacetime is generalized Ricci Recurrent if and only if it is Ricci symmetric. The perfect fluid type matter is shown to have EoS $ω=-1$. Some energy conditions are analyzed with couple of popular toy models of $F(R)$-gravity, like $F(R)= R+αR^m $ where $α, m$ are constants and $ F(R)=R+βRlnR $ where $β$ is constant. In harmony with the recent observational studies of accelerated expansion of the universe, both cases exhibit that the null, weak, and dominant energy conditions fulfill their requirements whereas the strong energy condition is violated.

Energy conditions for a $(WRS)_4$ spacetime in $F(R)$-gravity

The objective of the present paper is to study 4-dimensional weakly Ricci symmetric spacetimes $(WRS)_4$ with non-zero constant Ricci scalar. We prove that such a $(WRS)_4$ satisfying $F(R)$-gravity field equations represents a perfect fluid with vanishing vorticity. Some energy conditions are studied under the current setting to constrain the functional form of $F(R)$. We examine a couple of popular toy models in $F(R)$-gravity, $F(R)=e^{αR}$ where $α$ is constant and $F(R)=R-β\tanh(R)$, $β$ is a constant. We also find that the equation of state parameter (EoS) in both models supports the universe's accelerating behavior, i.e., $ω=-1$. According to the recently suggested observations of accelerated expansion, both cases define that the null, weak, and dominant energy conditions justify their requirements while the strong energy conditions violate them.

$\mathfrak D^\perp$-invariant real hypersurfaces in complex Grassmannians of rank two

Let $M$ be a real hypersurface in complex Grassmannians of rank two. Denote by $\mathfrak J$ the quaternionic Kähler structure of the ambient space, $TM^\perp$ the normal bundle over $M$ and $\mathfrak D^\perp=\mathfrak JTM^\perp$. The real hypersurface $M$ is said to be $\mathfrak D^\perp$-invariant if $\mathfrak D^\perp$ is invariant under the shape operator of $M$. We showed that if $M$ is $\mathfrak D^\perp$-invariant, then $M$ is Hopf. This improves the results of Berndt and Suh in [{Int. J. Math.} \textbf{23}(2012) 1250103] and [{Monatsh. Math.} \textbf{127}(1999), 1--14]. We also classified $\mathfrak D^\perp$ real hypersurface in complex Grassmannians of rank two with constant principal curvatures.

$\mathfrak A$-principal Hopf hypersurfaces in complex quadrics

A real hypersurface in the complex quadric $Q^m=SO_{m+2}/SO_mSO_2$ is said to be $\mathfrak A$-principal if its unit normal vector field is singular of type $\mathfrak A$-principal everywhere. In this paper, we show that a $\mathfrak A$-principal Hopf hypersurface in $Q^m$, $m\geq3$ is an open part of a tube around a totally geodesic $Q^{m+1}$ in $Q^m$. We also show that such real hypersurfaces are the only contact real hypersurfaces in $Q^m$. %, this answers affirmatively a question posted by Berndt (cf. \cite{berndt1})}. The classification for pseudo-Einstein real hypersurfaces in $Q^m$, $m\geq3$, is also obtained.

Hopf hypersurfaces in complex Grassmannians of rank two

In this paper, we study real hypersurfaces in complex Grassmannians of rank two. First, the nonexistence of mixed foliate real hypersurfaces is proven. With this result, we show that for Hopf hypersurfaces in complex Grassmannians of rank two, the Reeb principal curvature is constant along integral curves of the Reeb vector field. As a result the classification of contact real hypersurfaces is obtained. We also introduce the notion of $q$-umbilical real hypersurfaces in complex Grassmannians of rank two and obtain a classification of such real hypersurfaces.

Generalized Sasakian space forms and Riemannian manifolds of quasi constant sectional curvature

In this paper, we show that a generalized Sasakian space form of dimension greater than three is either of constant sectional curvature; or a canal hypersurface in Euclidean or Minkowski spaces; or locally a certain type of twisted product of a real line and a flat almost Hermitian manifold; or locally a wapred product of a real line and a generalized complex space form; or an $α$-Sasakian space form; or it is of five dimension and admits an $α$-Sasakian Einstein structure. In particular, a local classification for generalized Sasakian space forms of dimension greater than five is obtained. A local classification of Riemannian manifolds of quasi constant sectional curvature of dimension greater than three is also given in this paper.

Real Hypersurfaces of Type A in Complex Two-Plane Grassmannians Related to The Reeb Vector Field

Y. J. Suh and H. Lee (Bull. Korean. Math. Soc. 47, 551-561 (2010)) characterized real hypersurfaces $M$ of type $B$ by the invariance of vector bundle $JTM^\perp$ under the shape operator and the orthogonality of $JTM^\perp$ and $\mathcal {J}TM^\perp$, where $TM^\perp$, $J$ and $\mathcal J$ are the normal bundle of $M$, Kähler structure and Quaternionic Kähler structure of $G_2({\mathbb{C}}^{m+2})$ respectively. In this paper, we characterize real hypersurfaces $M$ of type A by the invariance of the vector bundle $JTM^\perp$ under the shape operator with the Reeb vector field in $\mathcal {J}TM^\perp$.

Real hypersurfaces with pseudo-parallel normal Jacobi operator in complex two-plane Grassmannians

The objective of the present paper is to prove the non-existence of real hypersurface with pseudo-parallel normal Jacobi operator in complex two-plane Grassmannians. As a corollary, we show that there does not exist any real hypersurface with semi-parallel or recurrent normal Jacobi operator in complex two-plane Grassmannians. This answers a question considered in [Monatsh Math, 172 (2013), 167-178] in negative.

Pseudo parallel CR-submanifolds in a non-flat complex space form

We classify pseudo parallel proper CR-submanifolds in a non-flat complex space form with CR-dimension greater than one. With this result, the non-existence of recurrent as well as semi parallel proper CR-submanifolds in a non-flat complex space form with CR-dimension greater than one can also be obtained.
