We study ruled real hypersurfaces whose shape operators have constant squared norm in nonflat complex space forms. In particular, we prove the nonexistence of such hypersurfaces in the projective case. We also show that biharmonic ruled real hypersurfaces in nonflat complex space forms are minimal, which provides their classification due to a known result of Lohnherr and Reckziegel.
Let $M$ be a real hypersurface of a complex space form with almost contact metric structure $(ϕ, ξ, η, g)$. In this paper, we study real hypersurfaces in a complex space form whose structure Jacobi operator $R_ξ=R(\cdot,ξ)ξ$ is $ξ$-parallel. In particular, we prove that the condition $\nabla_ξ R_ξ=0$ characterizes the homogeneous real hypersurfaces of type $A$ in a complex projective space or a complex hyperbolic space when $R_ξ ϕS=S ϕR_ξ$ holds on $M$, where $S$ denotes the Ricci tensor of type (1,1) on $M$.
We complete the classification of ruled real hypersurfaces with shape operator of constant norm in nonflat complex space forms by showing the existence of a unique inhomogeneous example in the complex hyperbolic space.
We show that ruled real hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in the complex projective and hyperbolic spaces must be minimal. This provides their classification, by virtue of a result of Lohnherr and Reckziegel.
The main two families of real hypersurfaces in complex space forms are Hopf and ruled. However, very little is known about real hypersurfaces in the indefinite complex projective space $\cpn$. In a previous work, Kimura and the second author introduced Hopf real hypersurfaces in $\cpn$. In this paper, ruled real hypersurfaces in the indefinite complex projective space are introduced, as those whose maximal holomorphic distribution is integrable, and such that the leaves are totally geodesic holomorphic hyperplanes. A detailed description of the shape operator is computed, obtaining two main di…
In this paper, we define three types of 2-Ruled hypersurfaces in the Minkowski 4-space $\mathbb{E}^4_1$. We obtain Gaussian and mean curvatures of the 2-ruled hypersurfaces of type-1 and type-2, and some characterizations about its minimality. We also deal with the first Laplace-Beltrami operators of these types of 2-Ruled hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{E}^4_1$. Moreover, the importance of this paper is that the definition of these surfaces by using the octonions in $\mathbb{E}^4_1$. Thus, this is a new idea and make the paper original. We give an example of 2-ruled hypersurface constructed by octo…
We consider real hypersurfaces $M$ in complex projective space equipped with both the Levi-Civita and generalized Tanaka-Webster connections. For any nonnull constant $k$ and any symmetric tensor field of type (1,1) $L$ on $M$ we can define two tensor fields of type (1,2) on $M$, $L_F^{(k)}$ and $L_T^{(k)}$, related to both connections. We study the behaviour of the structure operator $ϕ$ with respect to such tensor fields in the particular case of $L=A$, the shape operator of $M$, and obtain some new characterizations of ruled real hypersurfaces in complex projective space.
Basic aspects of the equiaffine geometry of level sets are developed systematically. As an application there are constructed families of $2n$-dimensional nondegenerate hypersurfaces ruled by $n$-planes, having equiaffine mean curvature zero, and solving the affine normal flow. Each carries a symplectic structure with respect to which the ruling is Lagrangian.
We consider hypersurfaces in the real Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ ($n\geq2$) which are relatively normalized. We give necessary and sufficient conditions a) for a surface of negative Gaussian curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ to be ruled, b) for a hypersurface of positive Gaussian curvature in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ to be a hyperquadric and c) for a relative normalization to be constantly proportional to the equiaffine normalization.
In this paper, we study the special curves and ruled surfaces on helix hypersurface whose tangent planes make a constant angle with a fixed direction in Euclidean n-space Besides, we observe some special ruled surfaces in and give requirement of being developable of the ruled surface. Also, we investigate the helix surface generated by a plane curve in Euclidean 3-space .
First, we classify proper biharmonic Hopf real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}P^2$. Next, we classify proper biharmonic real hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in $\mathbb{C}P^n$, where $n\geq 2$. Finally, we prove that biharmonic ruled real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}P^n$ are minimal, where $n\geq 2$.
A Lie hypersurface in the complex hyperbolic space is a homogeneous real hypersurface without focal submanifolds. The set of all Lie hypersurfaces in the complex hyperbolic space is bijective to a closed interval, which gives a deformation of homogeneous hypersurfaces from the ruled minimal one to the horosphere. In this paper, we study intrinsic geometry of Lie hypersurfaces, such as Ricci curvatures, scalar curvatures, and sectional curvatures.
We classify hypersurfaces of the Minkowski space $Ł^{n+1}$ that carry a totally geodesic foliation with complete leaves of codimension one. We prove that such a hypersurface is ruled, or a partial tube over a curve or contains a two or three dimensional strip. Moreover, if the hypersurface is embedded then it is a partial tube over a curve.
A skew brane is an immersed codimension 2 submanifold in affine space, free from pairs of parallel tangent spaces. Using Morse theory, we prove that a skew brane cannot lie on a quadratic hypersurface. We also prove that there are no skew loops on embedded ruled developable discs in 3-space. The paper extends recent work by M. Ghomi and B. Solomon.
Let $M$ be a real hypersurface of a complex space form $M^n(c)$, $c\neq 0$. Suppose that the structure vector field $ξ$ of $M$ is an eigen vector field of the Ricci tensor $S$, $Sξ=βξ$, $β$ being a function. We study on $M$, a gradient pseudo-Ricci soliton as an extended concept of Ricci soliton, closely related to pseudo-Einstein real hypersurfaces. We show that a $3$-dimensional ruled real hypersurface of $M^2(c), c<0$ admits a non-trivial gradient pseudo-Ricci soliton.
We classify real hypersurfaces in complex space forms with constant principal curvatures and whose Hopf vector field has two nontrivial projections onto the principal curvature spaces. In complex projective spaces such real hypersurfaces do not exist. In complex hyperbolic spaces these are holomorphically congruent to open parts of tubes around the ruled minimal submanifolds with totally real normal bundle introduced by Berndt and Bruck. In particular, they are open parts of homogenous ones.
It is well known that the only surfaces that are simultaneously minimal in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and maximal in $\mathbb{L}^3$ are open pieces of helicoids (in the region in which they are spacelike) and of spacelike planes (O. Kobayashi 1983). The proof of this result consists in showing that the level curves of those surfaces are lines, and so the surfaces are ruled. And it finishes comparing the classification of minimal ruled surfaces to that of maximal ruled surfaces. In this manuscript we consider the general case of spacelike hypersurfaces in the $(n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean space which are s…
We classify 4-dimensional austere submanifolds in Euclidean space ruled by 2-planes. The algebraic possibilities for second fundamental forms of an austere 4-fold M were classified by Bryant, falling into three types which we label A, B, and C. We show that if M is 2-ruled of Type A, then the ruling map from M into the Grassmannian of 2-planes in R^n is holomorphic, and we give a construction for M starting with a holomorphic curve in an appropriate twistor space. If M is 2-ruled of Type B, then M is either a generalized helicoid in R^6 or the product of two classical helicoids in R^3. If M is…
Let $M$ be a real hypersurface of a complex space form with constant curvature $c$. In this paper, we study the hypersurface $M$ admitting Miao-Tam critical metric, i.e. the induced metric $g$ on $M$ satisfies the equation:$-(Δ_gλ)g+\nabla^2_gλ-λRic=g$, where $λ$ is a smooth function on $M$. At first, for the case where $M$ is Hopf, $c=0$ and $c\neq0$ are considered respectively. For the non-Hopf case, we prove that the ruled real hypersurfaces of non-flat complex space forms do not admit Miao-Tam critical metrics. Finally, it is proved that a compact hypersurface of a complex Euclidean space …
In this article, we construct a new para-Kähler structure $({\mathcal G},{\mathcal J},Ω)$ in the space of oriented geodesics ${\mathbb L}(M)$ in a non-flat, real space form $M$. We first show that the para-Kähler metric ${\mathcal G}$ is scalar flat and when $M$ is a 3-dimensional real space form, ${\mathcal G}$ is locally conformally flat. Furthermore, we prove that the space of oriented geodesics in hyperbolic $n$-space, equipped with the constructed metric ${\mathcal G}$, is minimally isometric embedded in the tangent bundle of the hyperbolic $n$-space. We then study the submanifold theory,…
