In this paper, we introduce a second order linear differential operator ^T□: C^∞ (M) → C^∞ (M) as a natural generalization of Cheng-Yau operator, [8], where T is a (1, 1)-tensor on Riemannian manifold (M, h), and then we show on compact Riemannian manifolds, divT = divT^t, and if divT = 0, and f be a smooth function on M, the condition ^T□ f = 0 implies that f is constant. Hereafter, we introduce T-energy functionals and by deriving variations of these functionals, we define T-harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds, which is a generalization of L_k-harmonic maps introduced in [3]. Also we have studied fT-harmonic maps for conformal immersions and as application of it, we consider fL_k-harmonic hypersurfaces in space forms, and after that we classify complete fL₁-harmonic surfaces, some fL_k-harmonic isoparametric hypersurfaces, fL_k-harmonic weakly convex hypersurfaces, and we show that there exists no compact fL_k-harmonic hypersurface either in the Euclidean space or in the hyperbolic space or in the Euclidean hemisphere. As well, some properties and examples of these definitions are given.

Let f : M longrightarrow M be a homotopically periodic self-map of a closed surface M. Except for M = $S^2$, the Nielsen number N(f) and the Lefschetz number L(f) of the self-map f are the same. This is a generalization of Kwasik and Lee's result to 2-dimensional case. On the 2-sphere $S^2$, N(f) = 1 and L(f) = deg(f) + 1 for any self-map f : $S^2$longrightarrow$S^2$.

Unsteady state free natural gas jets injected from several types of injectors were numerically simulated. Simulations showed good agreements with the schlieren experimental results. Moreover, injections of natural gas in intake manifolds of a single-valve engine and a double-valve engine were predicted as well. Predictions revealed that large volumetric injections of natural gas in intake manifolds led to strong impingement of natural gas with the intake valves, which as a result, gave rise to pronounced backward reflection of natural gas towards the inlets of intake manifolds, together with significant increase in pressure in intake manifold. Based on our simulations, we speculated that for engines with short intake manifolds, reflections of the mixture of natural gas and air were likely to approach the inlets of intake manifolds and subsequently be inbreathed into other cylinders, resulting in non-uniform mixture distributions between the cylinders. For engines with long intake manifolds, inasmuch as the degrees of intake interferences between the cylinders were not identical in light of the ignition sequences, non-uniform intake charge distributions between the cylinders would occur.

In this paper, we show that for a homotopically periodic (i.e., $fk{\simeq}id$, for some $k{\geq}1$) self map f of a Seifert 3-manifold with $P{\widetilde{SL(2,}}\mathbb{R})$-geometry, N(f) = L(f) = 0.

B. Y. Chen introduced a series of curvature invariants, known as Chen invariants, and proved sharp estimates for these intrinsic invariants in terms of the main extrinsic invariant, the squared mean curvature, for submanifolds in Riemannian space forms. Special classes of submanifolds in Sasakian manifolds play an important role in contact geometry. F. Defever, I. Mihai and L. Verstraelen [8] established Chen first inequality for C-totally real submanifolds in Sasakian space forms. Also, the differential geometry of slant submanifolds has shown an increasing development since B. Y. Chen defined slant submanifolds in complex manifolds as a generalization of both holomorphic and totally real submanifolds. The slant submanifolds of an almost contact metric manifolds were defined and studied by A. Lotta, J. L. Cabrerizo et al. A Chen first inequality for slant submanifolds in Sasakian space forms was established by A. Carriazo [4]. In this article, we improve this Chen first inequality for special contact slant submanifolds in Sasakian space forms.

Fixed-point theory has an extension to coincidences. For a pair of maps $f,g:X_1 \to X_2$, a coincidence of f and g is a point $x \in X_1$ such that $f(x) = g(x)$, and $Coin(f,g) = {x \in X_1 $\mid$ f(x) = g(x)}$ is the coincidence set of f and g. The Nielsen coincidence number N(f,g) and the Lefschetz coincidence number L(f,g) are used to estimate the cardinality of Coin(f,g). The aspherical manifolds whose fundamental group has a normal solvable subgroup of finite index is called infrasolvmanifolds. We show that if $M_1,M_2$ are compact connected orientable infrasolvmanifolds, then $N(f,g) \geq $\mid$L(f,g)$\mid$$ for every $f,g : M_1 \to M_2$.

In this paper, for an m-dimensional (m ≥ 5) complete non-compact submanifold M immersed in an n-dimensional (n ≥ 6) simply connected Riemannian manifold N with negative sectional curvature, under suitable constraints on the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M, the norm of its weighted mean curvature vector |H_f| and the weighted real-valued function f, we can obtain: • several one-end theorems for M; • two Liouville theorems for harmonic maps from M to complete Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive sectional curvature.

Consider the $L^2$-adjoint $s_g^{'*}$ of the linearization of the scalar curvature $s_g$. If ker $s_g^{'*}{\neq}0$ on an n-dimensional compact manifold, it is well known that the scalar curvature $s_g$ is a non-negative constant. In this paper, we study the structure of the level set ${\varphi}^{-1}$(0) and find the behavior of Ricci tensor when ker $s_g^{'*}{\neq}0$ with $s_g$ > 0. Also for a nontrivial solution (g, f) of $z=s_g^{'*}(f)$ on an n-dimensional compact manifold, we analyze the structure of the regular level set $f^{-1}$(-1). These results give a good understanding of the given manifolds.

Let W and V be manifolds of dimension m + 2, M a locally flat submanifold of V whose dimension is m. Let $f:W{\rightarrow}V$ be a homotopy equivalence. The problem we study in this paper is the following: When is f homotopic to another homotopy equivalence $g:W{\rightarrow}V$ such that g is transverse regular along M and such that $g{\mid}g^{-1}(M):g^{-1}(M){\rightarrow}M$ is a simple homotopy equivalence? $L{\acute{o}}pez$ de Medrano (1970) called this problem the weak h-regularity problem. We solve this problem applying the codimension two surgery theory developed by the author (1973). We will work in higher dimensions, assuming that $$m{\geq_-}5$$.
