We construct uncountably many isoparametric families of hypersurfaces in Damek-Ricci spaces. We characterize those of them that have constant principal curvatures by means of the new concept of generalized Kahler angle. It follows that, in…

We study singular real-analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces in complex projective space. We define the rank of an algebraic Levi-flat hypersurface and study the connections between rank, degree, and the type and size of the singularity. In…

We consider a generalisation of vector fields on a vector space, where the vector space is generalised to a highest-weight module over a Kac-Moody algebra. The generalised vector field is an element in a non-associative superalgebra defined…

In this article, we study rectifying curves in arbitrary dimensional Euclidean space. A curve is said to be a rectifying curve if, in all points of the curve, the orthogonal complement of its normal vector contains a fixed point. We…

We adapt for algebraically closed fields $k$ of characteristic greater than $2$ two results of Voisin, on the decomposition of the diagonal of a smooth cubic hypersurface $X$ of dimension $3$ over $\mathbb C$, namely: the equivalence…

The notion of rectifying curve in the Euclidean space is introduced by Chen as a curve whose position vector always lies in its rectifying plane spanned by the tangent and the binormal vector field t and n_2 of the curve. In this study, we…

Let $k$ be a field and let $\text{GW}(k)$ be the Grothendieck-Witt ring of virtual non-degenerate symmetric bilinear forms over $k$. We develop methods for computing the quadratic Euler characteristic $\chi(X/k)\in \text{GW}(k)$ for $X$ a…

Let $M$ be an odd-dimensional Euclidean space endowed with a contact 1-form $\alpha$. We investigate the space of symmetric contravariant tensor fields on $M$ as a module over the Lie algebra of contact vector fields, i.e. over the Lie…

In this paper, we study biconservative surfaces with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field ($PNMC$) in the $4$-dimensional unit Euclidean sphere $\mathbb{S}^4$. First, we study the existence and uniqueness of such surfaces. We…

We extend the theory of equitable decompositions, in which, if a graph has a particular type of symmetry, i.e. a uniform or basic automorphism $\phi$, it is possible to use $\phi$ to decompose a matrix $M$ appropriately associated with the…

We describe local similarities and global differences between minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space and constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space. We also describe how to solve global period problems for constant mean…

We consider a unit normal vector field of (local) hyperfoliation on a given Riemannian manifold as a submanifold in the unit tangent bundle with Sasaki metric. We give an explicit expression of the second fundamental form for this…

We use the method of equivariant moving frames to revisit the problem of normal forms and equivalence of nondegenerate real hypersurfaces M \subset C^2 under the pseudo-group action of holomorphic transformations. The moving frame…

We construct the general action for Abelian vector multiplets in rigid 4-dimensional Euclidean (instead of Minkowskian) N=2 supersymmetry, i.e., over space-times with a positive definite instead of a Lorentzian metric. The target manifolds…

Cooper and Long generalised Epstein and Penner's Euclidean cell decomposition of cusped hyperbolic manifolds of finite volume to non-compact strictly convex projective manifolds of finite volume. We show that Weeks' algorithm to compute…

Given a vector field $X$ in a Riemannian manifold, a hypersurface is said to have a canonical principal direction relative to $X$ if the projection of $X$ onto the tangent space of the hypersurface gives a principal direction. We give…

We present a new formulation of some basic differential geometric notions on a smooth manifold M, in the setting of nonstandard analysis. In place of classical vector fields, for which one needs to construct the tangent bundle of M, we…

We construct complete normal forms for $5$-dimensional real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb C^3$ which are $2$-nondegenerate and also of Levi non-uniform rank zero at the origin point ${\bf p} =0$. The latter condition means that the rank of the…

A well-known theorem by Ruh and Vilms states that the Laplacian of the Gauss map for a smooth immersion into Euclidean space is given by the covariant derivative of the mean curvature vector field. For hypersurfaces, this implies that the…

In this paper we continue the study of bi-conformal vector fields started in {\em Class. Quantum Grav.} {\bf 21} 2153-2177. These are vector fields defined on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold by the differential conditions $\lie P_{ab}=\phi…
