Let G = O(2) $\times$ O(2) $\times$O(2) and let M$^4$be closed G-invariant minimal hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in S$^{5}$ . If M$^4$has 2 distinct principal curvatures at some point, then S = 4. Moreover, if S > 4, then M$^4$does not have simple principal curvatures everywhere.

It is well known that critical points of the total scalar curvature functional S on the space of all smooth Riemannian structures of volume 1 on a compact manifold M are exactly the Einstein metrics. When the domain of S is restricted to the space of constant scalar curvature metrics, there has been a conjecture that a critical point is isometric to a standard sphere. In this paper we investigate the relationship between the first Betti number and stable minimal surfaces, and study the analytic properties of stable minimal surfaces in M for n = 3.

Let N be a complete Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and let M be a complete noncompact oriented stable minimal hypersurface in N. We prove that if M has at least two ends and ${\int}_M{\mid}A{\mid}^2\;dv={\infty}$, then M admits a nonconstant harmonic function with finite Dirichlet integral, where A is the second fundamental form of M. We also show that the space of $L^2$ harmonic 1-forms on such a stable minimal hypersurface is not trivial. Our result is a generalization of one of main results in [12] because if N has nonnegative sectional curvature, then M admits no nonconstant harmonic functions with finite Dirichlet integral. And our result recovers a main theorem in [3] as a corollary.

We classify minimal surfaces in ${\mathbb{S}}^3$ which are foliated by circles and ruled constant mean curvature (cmc) surfaces in ${\mathbb{S}}^3$. First we show that minimal surfaces in ${\mathbb{S}}^3$ which are foliated by circles are either ruled (that is, foliated by geodesics) or rotationally symmetric (that is, invariant under an isometric ${\mathbb{S}}^1$-action which fixes a geodesic). Secondly, we show that, locally, there is only one ruled cmc surface in ${\mathbb{S}}^3$ up to isometry for each nonnegative mean curvature. We give a parametrization of the ruled cmc surface in ${\mathbb{S}}^3$(cf. Theorem 3).

Maximal surfaces have a prominent place in the field of differential geometry, captivating researchers with their intriguing properties. Bearing a direct analogy to the minimal surfaces in Euclidean space, investigating both their similarities and differences has long been an important issue. This paper is aimed to give a local characterization of maximal surfaces in 𝕃³ in terms of their geodesic curvatures, which is analogous to the minimal surface case presented in [8]. We present a classification of the maximal surfaces under some simple condition on the geodesic curvatures of the parameter curves in the line of curvature coordinates.

Let $G\;=\;O(k){\times}O(k){\times}O(q)$ and let $M^n$ be a closed G-invariant minimal hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in $S^{n+1}$. Then we obtain a theorem: If $M^n$ has 2 distinct principal curvatures at some point p, then the square norm of the second fundamental form of $M^n$, S = n.
