  • In this article, we study rotation surfaces in the 4-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space E$_2$$^4$. Also, we obtain the complete classification theorems for the flat rotation surfaces with finite type Gauss map, pointwise 1-type Gauss map and an equation in terms of the mean curvature vector. In fact, we characterize the flat rotation surfaces of finite type immersion with the Gauss map and the mean curvature vector field, namely the Gauss map of finite type, pointwise 1-type Gauss map and some algebraic equations in terms of the Gauss map and the mean curvature vector field related to the Laplacian of the surfaces with respect to the induced metric.

  • We develop an invariant local theory of Lorentz surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean 4-space by use of a linear map of Weingarten type. We find a geometrically determined moving frame field at each point of the surface and obtain a system of geometric functions. We prove a fundamental existence and uniqueness theorem in terms of these functions. On any Lorentz surface with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field we introduce special geometric (canonical) parameters and prove that any such surface is determined up to a rigid motion by three invariant functions satisfying three natural partial differential equations. In this way we minimize the number of functions and the number of partial differential equations determining the surface, which solves the Lund-Regge problem for this class of surfaces.

  • The purpose of this paper is to compute the covariant derivative of a shape operator of a generic submanifold of a complex space form without using the Green-Stoke's theorem. In particular, we classify complete generic submanifolds of a complex number space $C^m$ with parallel mean curvature vector satisfying a certain condition.

  • We prove that if a real hypersurface with constant mean curvature of a complex space form satisfying ▽$_{ξ/}$S = 0 and Sξ = $\sigma$ξ for a smooth function $\sigma$, then the structure vector field ξ is principal, where S denotes the Ricci tensor of the hypersurface.

  • 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 ${\mathbb{H}}_{\kappa}^{n+1}$.

  • We solve the $Bj{\ddot{o}}rling$ problem for constant mean curvature one surfaces in hyperbolic three-space and in de Sitter three-space. That is, we show that for any regular, analytic (and spacelike in the case of de Sitter three-space) curve ${\gamma}$ and an analytic (timelike in the case of de Sitter three-space) unit vector field N along and orthogonal to ${\gamma}$, there exists a unique (spacelike in the case of de Sitter three-space) surface of constant mean curvature 1 which contains ${\gamma}$ and the unit normal of which on ${\gamma}$ is N. Some of the consequences are the planar reflection principles, and a classification of rotationally invariant CMC 1 surfaces.

  • In this paper, we firstly define the Ricci mean value along the gradient vector field of the Ricci potential function and show that it is non-negative on a compact Ricci soliton. Furthermore a Ricci soliton is Einstein if and only if its Ricci mean value is vanishing. Finally, we obtain a compact Ricci soliton $(M^n,g)(n{\geq}3)$ is Einstein if its Weyl curvature tensor and the Kulkarni-Nomizu product of Ricci curvature are orthogonal.

  • The warped product L$\times$$_{f}$ F of a line L and a Kaehler manifold F is a typical example of Kenmotsu manifold. In this paper we determine submanifolds of L$\times$$_{f}$ F which are tangent to the structure vector field and satisfy certain conditions concerning with Ricci curvature and mean curvature.ure.
