A characterization of geodesic spheres in the simply connected space forms in terms of the ratio of the Gauss-Kronecker curvature and the (usual) mean curvature is given: An immersion of n dimensional compact oriented manifold without boundary into the n + 1 dimensional Euclidean space, hyperbolic space or open half sphere is a totally umbilicimmersion if the mean curvature $H_1$ does not vanish and the ratio $H_n$/$H_1$ of the Gauss-Kronecker curvature $H_n$ and $H_1$ is constant.

This paper is concerned with the classifications of quadric surfaces of first and second kinds in Euclidean 3-space satisfying the Jacobi condition with respect to their curvatures, the Gaussian curvature K, the mean curvature H, second mean curvature $H_{II}$ and second Gaussian curvature $K_{II}$. Also, we study the zero and non-zero constant curvatures of these surfaces. Furthermore, we investigated the (A, B)-Weingarten, (A, B)-linear Weingarten as well as some special ($C^2$, K) and $(C^2,\;K{\sqrt{K}})$-nonlinear Weingarten quadric surfaces in $E^3$, where $A{\neq}B$, A, $B{\in}{K,H,H_{II},K_{II}}$ and $C{\in}{H,H_{II},K_{II}}$. Finally, some important new lemmas are presented.

Let K, H, K_II and H_II be the Gaussian curvature, the mean curvature, the second Gaussian curvature and the second mean curvature of a timelike tubular surface T_γ(α) with the radius γ along a timelike curve α(s) in Minkowski 3-space E³₁. We prove that T_γ(α) must be a (K, H)-Weingarten surface and a (K, H)-linear Weingarten surface. We also show that T_γ(α) is (X, Y)-Weingarten type if and only if its central curve is a circle or a helix, where (X, Y) ∈ {(K, K_II), (K, H_II), (H, K_II), (H, H_II), (K_II , H_II)}. Furthermore, we prove that there exist no timelike tubular surfaces of (X, Y)-linear Weingarten type, (X, Y, Z)-linear Weingarten type and (K, H, K_II, H_II)-linear Weingarten type along a timelike curve in E³₁, where (X, Y, Z) ∈ {(K, H, K_II), (K, H, H_II), (K, K_II, H_II), (H, K_II, H_II)}.

In this paper, we study Finsler metrics of constant S-curvature. First we produce infinitely many Randers metrics with non-zero (constant) S-curvature which have vanishing H-curvature. They are counterexamples to Theorem 1.2 in [20]. Then we show that the existence of (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metrics with arbitrary constant S-curvature in each dimension which is not Randers type by extending Li-Shen' construction.

In the present paper, we study curvature properties of ${\eta}$-Ricci solitons on para-Kenmotsu manifolds. We obtain some results of ${\eta}$-Ricci solitons on para-Kenmotsu manifolds satisfying $R({\xi},X).C=0$, $R({\xi},X).{\tilde{M}}=0$, $R({\xi},X).P=0$, $R({\xi},X).{\tilde{C}}=0$ and $R({\xi},X).H=0$, where $C,\;{\tilde{M}},\;P,\;{\tilde{C}}$ and H are a quasi-conformal curvature tensor, a M-projective curvature tensor, a pseudo-projective curvature tensor, and a concircular curvature tensor and conharmonic curvature tensor, respectively.

In the present paper, we study and classify factorable surfaces in a 3-dimensional isotropic space with constant isotropic Gaussian (K) and mean curvature (H). We provide a non-existence result relating to such surfaces satisfying ${\frac{H}{K}}=const$. Several examples are also illustrated.

This paper concerns closed hypersurfaces of dimension $n{\geq}2$ in the hyperbolic space ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$ of constant sectional curvature evolving in direction of its normal vector, where the speed equals a power ${\beta}{\geq}1$ of the mean curvature. The main result is that if the initial closed, weakly h-convex hypersurface satisfies that the ratio of the biggest and smallest principal curvature at everywhere is close enough to 1, depending only on n and ${\beta}$, then under the flow this is maintained, there exists a unique, smooth solution of the flow which converges to a single point in ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$ in a maximal finite time, and when rescaling appropriately, the evolving hypersurfaces exponential convergence to a unit geodesic sphere of ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$.

In this paper, we introduce a new kind of slant helix for null curves called null $W_n$-slant helix and we give a definition of new harmonic curvature functions of a null curve in terms of $W_n$ in (n + 2)-dimensional Lorentzian space $M^{n+2}_1$ (for n > 3). Also, we obtain a characterization such as: "The curve ${\alpha}$ s a null $W_n$-slant helix ${\Leftrightarrow}H^{\prime}_n-k_1H_{n-1}-k_2H_{n-3}=0$" where $H_n,H_{n-1}$ and $H_{n-3}$ are harmonic curvature functions and $k_1,k_2$ are the Cartan curvature functions of the null curve ${\alpha}$.

The object of the present paper is to introduce a new curvature tensor, named generalized quasi-conformal curvature tensor which bridges conformal curvature tensor, concircular curvature tensor, projective curvature tensor and conharmonic curvature tensor. Flatness and symmetric properties of generalized quasi-conformal curvature tensor are studied in the frame of (k, ${\mu}$)-contact metric manifolds.

In this note we show the relationship between the period of a isochronous center of a planar Hamiltonian system and the Gauss curvature of the surface S = (x, y, H(x, y)) where H is the energy function of the system.
