From the point of view of pseudohermitian geometry, we classify Legendre surfaces of Sasakian space forms with non-minimal ${\hat{C}}$-parallel mean curvature vector field for the Tanaka-Webster connection.

The canal surfaces foliated by pseudo spheres $\mathbb{S}_1^2$ along a space curve in Minkowski 3-space are studied. The geometric properties of such surfaces are shown by classifying the linear Weingarten canal surfaces, the developable, minimal and umbilical canal surfaces are discussed at the same time.

In this paper, we show that it is Chen surfaces that non-minimal pseudo-Hermitian mass-symmetric 2-type Legendre surfaces in S⁵. Moreover, we show that pseudo-Hermitian mass-symmetric 2-type Legendre surfaces in S⁵ are the locally product of two pseudo-Hermitian circles.

On a compact n-dimensional manifold M, it has been conjectured that a critical point metric of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of volume 1, should be Einstein. The purpose of the present paper is to prove that a 3-dimensional manifold (M,g) is isometric to a standard sphere if ker $s^*_g{{\neq}}0$ and there is a lower Ricci curvature bound. We also study the structure of a compact oriented stable minimal surface in M.

We introduce the notion of Gauss map of pointwise 1-type on ruled surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space for which vector valued functions is neither trivial nor it extends or coincides with the usual notion of 1-type, in general. We characterize the minimal helicoid in terms of it and give a complete classification of the ruled surfaces with pointwise 1-type Gauss map.

The signature of a surface bundle over a surface is known to be divisible by 4. It is also known that the signature vanishes if the fiber genus ${\leq}2$ or the base genus ${\leq}1$. In this article, we construct new smooth 4-manifolds with signature 4 which are surface bundles over surfaces with small fiber and base genera. From these we derive improved upper bounds for the minimal genus of surfaces representing the second homology classes of a mapping class group.
