We consider the class of evolution equations that describe pseudo-spherical surfaces of the form u\_t = F (u, $\partial$u/$\partial$x, ..., $\partial$^k u/$\partial$x^k), k $\ge$ 2 classified by Chern-Tenenblat. This class of equations is…

We provide conditions under which an isometric immersion of a (warped) product of manifolds into a space form must be a (warped) product of isometric immersions.

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…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of developments of curves with respect to symmetric tensors and use it to prove the existence of isometric immersions into a general ambient space with prescribed second fundamental form. Our method…

We prove a Bonnet theorem for isometric immersions of submanifolds into the products of an arbitrary number of simply connected real space forms. Then, we prove the existence of associated families of minimal surfaces in such products.…

We provide a local classification of isometric immersions $f\colon L^p\times_\rho M^n\to\Q_c^{p+n+k}$ in codimensions $k=1, 2$ of warped products of Riemannian manifolds into space forms, under the assumptions that $n\geq k+1$ and that…

We discuss a specific type of pseudospherical surfaces defined by a class of third order differential equations, of the form $u_t - u_{xxt} = \lambda u^2 u_{xxx} + G(u, u_x, u_{xx})$, and poses a question about the dependence of the triples…

We first consider immersions on compact manifolds with uniform $L^p$-bounds on the second fundamental form and uniformly bounded volume. We show compactness in arbitrary dimension and codimension, generalizing a classical result of J.…

We show that any isometric immersion of a flat plane domain into $\mathbb R^3$ is developable provided it enjoys the little H\"older regulairty $c^{1,2/3}$. In particular, isometric immersions of local $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity with $\alpha…

We introduce polar metrics on a product manifold, which have product and warped product metrics as special cases. We prove a de Rham-type theorem characterizing Riemannian manifolds that can be locally decomposed as a product manifold…

We use a new method to give conditions for the existence of a local isometric immersion of a Riemannian $n$-manifold $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$, for a given $n$ and $k$. These equate to the (local) existence of a $k$-tuple of scalar fields…

The class of differential equations describing pseudospherical surfaces enjoys important integrability properties which manifest themselves by the existence of infinite hierarchies of conservation laws (both local and non-local) and the…

We give a complete classification of submanifolds with parallel second fundamental form of a product of two space forms. We also reduce the classification of umbilical submanifolds with dimension $m\geq 3$ of a product $\Q_{k_1}^{n_1}\times…

Roughly speaking, an ideal immersion of a Riemannian manifold into a real space form is an isometric immersion which produces the least possible amount of tension from the ambient space at each point of the submanifold. The main purpose of…
