A hypersurface is said to be totally biharmonic if all its geodesics are biharmonic curves in the ambient space. We prove that a totally biharmonic hypersurface into a space form is an isoparametric biharmonic hypersurface, which allows us…

A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…
