  • differential geometry of rectifying Submanifolds
    arXiv: Differential Geometry, 2016
    Co-Authors: Bangyen Chen
    Abstract:

    A space curve in a Euclidean 3-space $\mathbb E^3$ is called a rectifying curve if its position vector field always lies in its rectifying plane. This notion of rectifying curves was introduced by the author in [Amer. Math. Monthly {\bf 110} (2003), no. 2, 147-152]. In this present article, we introduce and study the notion of rectifying Submanifolds in Euclidean spaces. In particular, we prove that a Euclidean submanifold is rectifying if and only if the tangential component of its position vector field is a concurrent vector field. Moreover, rectifying Submanifolds with arbitrary codimension are completely determined.

  • Submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector in riemannian and indefinite space forms
    arXiv: Differential Geometry, 2013
    Co-Authors: Bangyen Chen
    Abstract:

    A submanifold of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is said to have parallel mean curvature vector if the mean curvature vector field H is parallel as a section of the normal bundle. Submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector are important since they are critical points of some natural functionals. In this paper, we survey some classical and recent results on Submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector. Special attention is paid to the classification of space-like and Lorentz surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector in Riemannian and indefinite space forms.

  • classification of hamiltonian stationary lagrangian Submanifolds of constant curvature in cp3 with positive relative nullity
    Nonlinear Analysis-theory Methods & Applications, 2008
    Co-Authors: Bangyen Chen, Oscar J Garay
    Abstract:

    Abstract A Lagrangian submanifold in a Kaehler manifold is said to be Hamiltonian-stationary if it is a critical point of the area functional restricted to (compactly supported) Hamiltonian variations. In this paper we classify Hamiltonian-stationary Lagrangian Submanifolds of constant curvature in CP 3 with positive relative nullity. As an immediate by-product, several explicit new families of Hamiltonian-stationary Lagrangian Submanifolds in CP 3 are obtained.

  • what can we do with nash s embedding theorem
    2004
    Co-Authors: Bangyen Chen
    Abstract:

    According to the celebrated embedding theorem of J. F. Nash, every Riemannian manifold can be isometrically embedded in some Euclidean spaces with sufficiently high codimension. An immediate problem concerning Nash's theorem is the following: Problem: What can we do with Nash's embedding theorem ? In other words, what can we do with arbitrary Euclidean Submanifolds of arbitrary high codimension if no local or global assumption were imposed on the submanifold ? In this survey, we present some general optimal solutions to this and related prob- lems. We will also present many applications of the solutions to the theory of Submanifolds as well as to Riemannian geometry.

  • representation of flat lagrangian h umbilical Submanifolds in complex euclidean spaces
    Tohoku Mathematical Journal, 1999
    Co-Authors: Bangyen Chen
    Abstract:

    The author proved earlier that, a Lagrangian //-umbilical submanifold in complex Euclidean «-space with n>2 is either a complex extensor, a Lagrangian pseudo-sphere, or a flat Lagrangian //-umbilical submanifold. Explicit descriptions of complex extensors and of Lagrangian pseudo-spheres are given earlier. The purpose of this article is to complete the investigation of Lagrangian //-umbilical Submanifolds in complex Euclidean spaces by establishing the explicit description of flat Lagrangian //-umbilical Submanifolds in complex Euclidean spaces. 1. Statements of theorems. We follow the notation and definitions given in (2). In order to establish the complete classification of Lagrangian //-umbilical Submanifolds in Cn we need to introduce the notion of special Legendre curves as follows. Let z: I^S2n~ι cC"beaunit speed Legendre curve in the unit hypersphere S2n~1 (centered at the origin), i.e., z — z(s) is a unit speed curve in S2n~1 satisfying the condition: (z'(s\ iz(s)) = 0 identically. Since z = z(s) is a spherical unit speed curve, = 0 identically. Hence, z(s), iz(s% z'(s\ iz'(s) are orthonormal vector fields defined along the Legendre curve. Thus, there exist normal vector fields P 3, ...,/>" along the Legendre curve such that (1.1) Φ), ι'Φ), z'(s\ iz\s\ PM iPsis), > Pn(s), iPn(s) form an orthonormal frame field along the Legendre curve. By taking the derivatives of = 0 and of =0, we obtain =0 and = — 1, respectively. Therefore, with respect to an orthonormal frame field chosen above, z" can be expressed as

  • on the regularity of hamiltonian stationary lagrangian Submanifolds
    Advances in Mathematics, 2019
    Co-Authors: Jingyi Chen, Micah Warren
    Abstract:

    Abstract We prove a Morrey-type theorem for Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian Submanifolds of C n : If a C 1 Lagrangian submanifold is a critical point of the volume functional under Hamiltonian variations, then it must be real analytic. Locally, a Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian submanifold is determined geometrically by harmonicity of its Lagrangian phase function, or variationally by a nonlinear fourth order elliptic equation of the potential function whose gradient graph defines the Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian Submanifolds locally. Our result shows that Morrey's theorem for minimal Submanifolds admits a complete fourth order analogue. We establish full regularity and removability of singular sets of capacity zero for weak solutions to the fourth order equation with C 1 , 1 norm below a dimensional constant, and to C 1 , 1 potential functions, under certain convexity conditions, whose Lagrangian phase functions are weakly harmonic.

  • Compactness and isotopy finiteness for Submanifolds with uniformly bounded geometric curvature energies
    Communications in Analysis and Geometry, 2018
    Co-Authors: Sławomir Kolasiński, Paweł Strzelecki, Heiko Von Der Mosel
    Abstract:

    We prove isotopy finiteness for various geometric curvature energies including integral Menger curvature, and tangent-point repulsive potentials, defined on the class of compact, embedded m-dimensional Lipschitz Submanifolds in R n . That is, there are only finitely many isotopy types of such Submanifolds below a given energy value, and we provide explicit bounds on the number of isotopy types in terms of the respective energy. Moreover, we establish C 1 -compactness: any sequence of Submanifolds with uniformly bounded en- ergy contains a subsequence converging inC 1 to a limit submanifold with the same energy bound. In addition, we show that all geometric curvature energies under consideration are lower semicontinuous with respect to Hausdor-converge nce, which can be used to min- imise each of these energies within prescribed isotopy classes.

  • Compactness and isotopy finiteness for Submanifolds with uniformly bounded geometric curvature energies
    arXiv: Differential Geometry, 2015
    Co-Authors: Sławomir Kolasiński, Paweł Strzelecki, Heiko Von Der Mosel
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we establish compactness for various geometric curvature energies including integral Menger curvature, and tangent-point repulsive potentials, defined a priori on the class of compact, embedded $m$-dimensional Lipschitz Submanifolds in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$. It turns out that due to a smoothing effect any sequence of Submanifolds with uniformly bounded energy contains a subsequence converging in $C^1$ to a limit submanifold. This result has two applications. The first one is an isotopy finiteness theorem: there are only finitely many isotopy types of such Submanifolds below a given energy value, and we provide explicit bounds on the number of isotopy types in terms of the respective energy. The second one is the lower semicontinuity - with respect to Hausdorff-convergence of Submanifolds - of all geometric curvature energies under consideration, which can be used to minimise each of these energies within prescribed isotopy classes.
