We prove a Simons type formula for submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector field in product spaces of type $M^n(c)\times\mathbb{R}$, where $M^n(c)$ is a space form with constant sectional curvature $c$, and then we use it to…

We characterise the profile curves of non-CMC biconservative rotational hypersurfaces of space forms $N^n(\rho)$ as $p$-elastic curves, for a suitable rational number $p\in[1/4,1)$ which depends on the dimension $n$ of the ambient space.…

We investigate proper biharmonic hypersurfaces with at most three distinct principal curvatures in space forms. We obtain the full classification of proper biharmonic hypersurfaces in 4-dimensional space forms.

We find the explicit local equations of biconservative surfaces with non-constant mean curvature in $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$, when the gradient of the mean curvature function is a principal…

In this paper we examine different aspects of the geometry of closed conformal vector fields on Riemannian manifolds. We begin by getting obstructions to the existence of closed conformal and nonparallel vector fields on complete manifolds…

It is proved, that if M is a connected, complete submanifold of a complex space form N and each geodesic of M lies in an 1-dimensional totally geodesic complex submanifold of N, then M is totally geodesic in N and is a real space form or a…

We study metric spaces that admit a conical bicombing and thus obey a weak form of non-positive curvature. Prime examples of such spaces are injective metric spaces. In this article we give a complete characterization of complete metric…

A unimodular complex surface is a complex 2-manifold X endowed with a holomorphic volume form. A strictly pseudoconvex real hypersurface M in X inherits not only a CR-structure but a canonical coframing as well. In this article, this…

We classify complete biharmonic surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector field and non-negative Gaussian curvature in complex space forms.

A biconservative submanifold of a Riemannian manifold is a sub- manifold with divergence free stress-energy tensor with respect to bienergy. These are generalizations of biharamonic submanifolds. In 2013, B. Y. Chen and M.I. Munteanu proved…

We prove that, in Minkowski space, if a spacelike, $(n-1)$-convex hypersurface $M$ with constant $\sigma_{n-1}$ curvature has bounded principal curvatures, then $M$ is convex. Moreover, if $M$ is not strictly convex, after an…

In the study of immersed surfaces of constant positive extrinsic curvature in space-forms, it is natural to substitute completeness for a weaker property, which we here call quasicompleteness. We determine the global geometry of such…

The authors study the geometry of lightlike hypersurfaces on a four-dimensional manifold $(M, c)$ endowed with a pseudoconformal structure $c = CO (2, 2)$. They prove that a lightlike hypersurface $V \subset (M, c)$ bears a foliation formed…

We define discrete constant mean curvature (cmc) surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean and Lorentz spaces in terms of sphere packings with orthogonally intersecting circles. These discrete cmc surfaces can be constructed from…

We study a notion of strict pseudoconvexity in the context of topologically (often unsmoothably) embedded 3-manifolds in complex surfaces. Topologically pseudoconvex (TPC) 3-manifolds behave similarly to their smooth analogues, cutting out…

This paper explains the construction of all hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature -- cmc -- and exactly two principal curvatures on any space form endowed with a semi-riemannian metric. Here we will consider riemannian hypersurfaces as…

We consider surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector field and finite total curvature in product spaces of type $\mathbb{M}^n(c)\times\mathbb{R}$, where $\mathbb{M}^n(c)$ is a space form, and characterize certain of these surfaces. When…

A surface of constant mean curvature (CMC) equal to $H$ in a sub-Riemannian $3$-manifold is strongly stable if it minimizes the functional $\text{area}+2H\,\text{volume}$ up to second order. In this paper we obtain some criteria ensuring…

Let $M$ be the image of a smooth CR embedding of a strictly pseudoconvex CR real hypersurface into a sphere. If the CR second fundamental form of $M$ vanishes, we show that $M$ is a totally geodesic submanifold.

We use functions of a bicomplex variable to unify the existing constructions of harmonic morphisms from a 3-dimensional Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean space to a Riemannian or Lorentzian surface. This is done by using the notion of…
