In 2011, Wang and Ou (Math. Z. {\bf 269}:917-925, 2011) showed that any biharmonic Riemannian submersion from a 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature to a surface is harmonic. In this paper, we generalize the…

We consider a non-negative biminimal properly immersed submanifold $M$ (that is, a biminimal properly immersed submanifold with $\lambda\geq0$) in a complete Riemannian manifold $N$ with non-positive sectional curvature. Assume that the…

An important theorem about biharmonic submanifolds proved independently by Chen-Ishikawa [CI] and Jiang [Ji] states that an isometric immersion of a surface into 3-dimensional Euclidean space is biharmonic if and only if it is harmonic…

If $\pi :M\rightarrow B$ is a Riemannian Submersion and $M$ has positive sectional curvature, O'Neill's Horizontal Curvature Equation shows that $B$ must also have positive curvature. We show there are Riemannian submersions from compact…

Pro and the third author showed that there are Riemannian submersions $\pi: M \to B$ with $M$ a compact manifold with positive Ricci curvature, whose base $B$, has Ricci curvatures with both signs. Thus, Riemannian submersions need not…

For biharmonic maps, there is a famous conjecture named Chen's conjecture. In later paper, Wang and Ou gave an affirmative partial answer to submersion version of Chen's conjecture. In this paper, we give an affirmative partial answer to…

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…

BCV spaces are a family of 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds which include six of Thurston's eight geometries. In this paper, we give a complete classification of proper biharmonic Riemannian submersions from a 3-dimensional BCV space by…

In the biharmonic submanifolds theory there is a generalized Chen's conjecture which states that biharmonic submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature must be minimal. This conjecture turned out false by a…

We show that under certain conditions, a nontrivial Riemannian submersion from positively curved four manifolds does not exist. This gives a partial answer to a conjecture due to Fred Wilhelm. We also prove a rigidity theorem for Riemannian…

We formulate stable Bernstein type theorems in certain positively curved ambient manifolds. In all dimensions, we prove that for any complete Riemannian manifold $(X^{n+1},g)$, if the Ricci curvature is non-negative and it positive BiRic…

We prove that a Riemannian submersion between smooth, compact, non-negatively curved Riemannian manifolds has to be smooth, resolving a conjecture by Berestovskii--Guijarro. We show that without any curvature assumption, the smoothness of…

In this paper we obtain lower bound estimates of the spectrum of Laplace-Beltrami operator on complete submanifolds with bounded mean curvature, whose ambient space admits a Riemannian submersion over a Riemannian manifold with negative…

We prove a converse to well-known results by E. Cartan and J. D. Moore. Let $f\colon M^n_c\to\Q^{n+p}_{\tilde c}$ be an isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature $c$ into a space form of curvature…

Let $M^n$ be a complete, non-compact and $C^\infty$-smooth Riemannian manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature. Suppose $\Cal S$ is a soul of $M^n$. Then any distance non-increasing retraction $\Psi: M^n \to \Cal S$ must give rise to a…

We show that any horizontally homothetic submersion from a compact manifold of nonnegative sectional curvature is a Riemannian submersion.

In this paper, we study biharmonic Riemannian submersions. We first derive bitension field of a general Riemannian submersion, we then use it to obtain biharmonic equations for Riemannian submersions with $1$-dimensional fibers and…

In this paper, we develop and introduce a Casorati inequality for Riemannian submersions involving the Casorati curvatures of both the vertical and horizontal distributions. A general form of the inequality is derived for Riemannian…
