Let $x$ be an $m$-dimensional umbilic-free hypersurface in an $(m+1)$-dimensional unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{m+1}(m\geq3)$. One of important questions is to classify hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures. In this paper, we…

Motivated by the physical concept of special geometry two mathematical constructions are studied, which relate real hypersurfaces to tube domains and complex Lagrangean cones respectively. Me\-thods are developed for the classification of…

Locally homogeneous strictly pseudoconvex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^2$ were classified by E.\,Cartan in 1932. In this work, we complete the classification of locally homogeneous strictly pseudoconvex hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^3$.

We prove that the angle function associated with the canonical product structure is constant for an isoparametric hypersurface in $\mathbb{S}^{n}\times \mathbb{S}^{m}$, $\mathbb{S}^{n}\times \mathbb{H}^{m}$, or $\mathbb{H}^{n}\times…

In this paper, we investigate the holonomy structure of the most accessible and demonstrative 2-dimensional Finsler surfaces, the Randers surfaces. Randers metrics can be considered as the solutions of the Zermelo navigation problem. We…

A contact hypersurface in a Kaehler manifold is a real hypersurface for which the induced almost contact metric structure determines a contact structure. We carry out a systematic study of contact hypersurfaces in Kaehler manifolds. We then…

In this paper we provide an algebraic characterization of those stratified groups in which boundaries with locally constant normal are locally flat. We show that these groups, which we call hypergenerated, are exactly the stratified groups…

We show that closed starshaped hypersurfaces of space forms with almost constant mean curvature or almost constant higher order mean curvature are closed to geodesic spheres.

We classify minimal hypersurfaces in $R^n \times S^m$, $n,m \geq 2$, which are invariant by the canonical action of $O(n) \times O(m)$. We also construct compact and noncompact examples of invariant hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature.…
