We study rotational hypersurfaces with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature. We solve the ODE for the generating curves of such hypersurfaces and analyze several geometric properties of such hypersurfaces. In particular, we discover a class…
In this paper, we study orientable hypersurfaces $N$ in Riemannian manifolds $(M,\langle , \rangle)$ for which the inner product $\langle U, \mathcal{V} \rangle$ is constant, where $U$ is the unit normal vector field to $N$ and…
We obtain the bifurcation of some special curves on generic 1-parameter families of surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space. The curves treated here are the locus of points where the induced pseudo metric is degenerate, the discriminant of the…
In this paper we study the question of fragility and robustness of leafwise intersections of coisotropic submanifolds. Namely, we construct a closed hypersurface and a sequence of Hamiltonians $C^0$-converging to zero such that the…
A new conformally invariant energy for four-dimensional hypersurfaces is devised. It renders possible the study of a large class of curvature energies, and we show that their critical points are smooth. As corollaries, we obtain the…
Traditional algebraic geometric invariants lose some of their potency in positive characteristic. For instance, smooth projective hypersurfaces may be covered by lines despite being of arbitrarily high degree. The purpose of this…
We show several kinematical properties that are intrinsic to the Bianchi models with compact spatial sections. Especially, with spacelike hypersurfaces being closed, (A) no anisotropic expansion is allowed for Bianchi type V and…
We first study $f$-biharmonicity of totally umbilical hypersurfaces in a generic Riemannian manifold and then prove that any totally umbilical proper $f$-biharmonic hypersurface in a nonpositively curved manifold has to be noncompact. We…
We wish to attack the problems that H.~Anciaux and K.~Panagiotidou posed in [1], for non-degenerate real hypersurfaces in indefinite complex projective space. We will slightly change these authors' point of view, obtaining cleaner equations…
This article provides an overview on various conservation laws for polyharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. Besides recalling that the variation of the energy for polyharmonic maps with respect to the domain metric gives rise to the…
It is shown that, somewhat similar to the case of classical Baecklund transformations for surfaces of constant negative curvature, infinitely many axially symmetric minimal hypersurfaces in 4-dimensional Minkowski-space can be obtained, in…
The term "special biconformal change" refers, basically, to the situation where a given nontrivial real-holomorphic vector field on a complex manifold is a gradient relative to two K\"ahler metrics, and, simultaneously, an eigenvector of…
We consider the set of partially hyperbolic symplectic diffeomorphisms which are accessible, have 2-dimensional center bundle and satisfy some pinching and bunching conditions. In this set, we prove that the non-uniformly hyperbolic maps…
We generalize the geometrical formulation of Wilson loops recently introduced in arXiv:2003.01729v2 to the description of Wilson Surfaces. For N=(2,0) theory in six dimensions, we provide an explicit derivation of BPS Wilson Surfaces with…
We characterize helix surfaces in the Berger sphere, that is surfaces which form a constant angle with the Hopf vector field. In particular, we show that, locally, a helix surface is determined by a suitable 1-parameter family of isometries…
We extend to Minkowski spaces the classical result of Barbosa and do Carmo [1] that characterizes the euclidean sphere as the unique compact stable CMC hypersurface of $\mathbb R^n$. More precisely, if $K$ is a smooth convex body in…
In the hyperspace of subcontinua of a compact surface we consider a second order Hausdorff distance. This metric space is compactified in such a way that the stable foliation of a pseudo-Anosov map is naturally identified with a…
Biharmonic or polyharmonic curves and surfaces in 3-dimensional contact manifolds are investigated.
We first prove that, unlike the biharmonic case, there exist triharmonic curves with nonconstant curvature in a suitable Riemannian manifold of arbitrary dimension. We then give the complete classification of triharmonic curves in surfaces…
Stark hypersurfaces are a special class of austere hypersurface in ${\mathbb C}P^n$ where the shape operator is compatible with the $CR$-structure. In this paper, the possible shape operators for stark hypersurfaces are completely…
