Let S be the Ricci curvature of an n-dimensional compact minimal totally real submanifold M of a quaternion projective space $HP^n (c)$ of quaternion sectional curvature c. We proved that if $S \leq \frac{16}{3(n -2)}c$, then either $S \equiv \frac{4}{n - 1}c$ (i.e. M is totally geodesic or $S \equiv \frac{16}{3(n - 2)}c$. All compact minimal totally real submanifolds of $HP^n (c)$ satisfy in $S \equiv \frac{16}{3(n - 2)}c$ are determined.

In this paper we derive an integral formula on an (n + 3)-dimensional, compact, minimal contact three CR-submanifold M of (p-1) contact three CR-dimension immersed in a unit (4m+3)-sphere $S^{4m+3}$. Using this integral formula, we give a sufficient condition concerning the scalar curvature of M in order that such a submanifold M is to be a generalized Clifford torus.

In [2] we proved that if the minimum of the sectional curvature of a compact real minimal hypersurface of CP$^{m}$ is 1/(2m-1), then M is the geodesic hypersphere. This result was generalized in [8] to the case of M is a generic submanifold with flat normal connection. The purpose of the present paper is to prove a following generalization of theorems in [2] and [8].

In this article, we study the relations of horizontally conformal maps and harmonic morphisms with the stability of minimal fibers. Let ${\varphi}:(M^n,g){\rightarrow}(N^m,h)$ be a horizontally conformal submersion. There is a tensor T measuring minimality or totally geodesics of fibers of ${\varphi}$. We prove that if T is parallel and the horizontal distribution is integrable, then any minimal fiber of ${\varphi}$ is volume-stable. As a corollary, we obtain that any fiber of a submersive harmonic morphism whose fibers are totally geodesics and the horizontal distribution is integrable is volume-stable. As a consequence, we obtain if ${\varphi}:(M^n,g){\rightarrow}(N^2,h)$ is a submersive harmonic morphism of minimal fibers from a compact Riemannian manifold M into a surface N, T is parallel and the horizontal distribution is integrable, then ${\varphi}$ is energy-stable.

Let $S^{n+p}$(c) be the (n + p)-dimensional Euclidean sphere of constant curva ture c and let M be an n-dimensional compact minimal submanifold isometric ally immersed in $S^{n+p}$(c). Let $A_\xi$ be the second fundamental form of M in the direction of a normal $\xi$ and T the tensor defined by $T(\xi, \eta) = traceA_\xi A_\eta$.

In this article, we study the relations of horizontally homothetic harmonic morphisms with the stability of totally geodesic submanifolds. Let $\varphi:(M^n,g)\rightarrow(N^m,h)$ be a horizontally homothetic harmonic morphism from a Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature and let T be the tensor measuring minimality or totally geodesics of fibers of $\varphi$. We prove that if T is parallel and the horizontal distribution is integrable, then for any totally geodesic submanifold P in N, the inverse set, $\varphi^{-1}$(P), is volume-stable in M. In case that P is a totally geodesic hypersurface the condition on the curvature can be weakened to Ricci curvature.

We introduce the study of generic lightlike submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian product manifold. We establish a characterization theorem for the induced connection on a generic lightlike submanifold to be a metric connection. We also find some conditions for the integrability of the distributions associated with generic lightlike submanifolds and discuss the geometry of foliations. Then we search for some results enabling a generic lightlike submanifold of a semi-Riemannian product manifold to be a generic lightlike product manifold. Finally, we examine minimal generic lightlike submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian product manifold.

Let $M^n$ be a connected subminifold of a Euclidean space $E^m$, equipped with the induced metric. Denoty by $\Delta$ the Laplacian operator of $M^n$ and by x the position vector. A well-known T. Takahashi's theorem [13] says that $\delta x = \lambda x$ for some constant $\lambda$ if and only if $M^n$ is either minimal subminifold of $E^m$ or minimal submanifold in a hypersphere of $E^m$. In [9], O. Garay studied the hypersurfaces $M^n$ in $E^{n+1}$ satisfying $\delta x = Dx$, where D is a diagonal matrix, and he classified such hypersurfaces. Garay's condition can be seen as a generalization of T.

Let M be a connected n-dimensional submanifold of a Euclidean space $E^{n+k}$ equipped with the induced metric and ${\Delta}$ its Laplacian. If the position vector x of M is decomposed as a sum of three vectors $x=x_1+x_2+x_0$ where two vectors $x_1$ and $x_2$ are non-constant eigen vectors of the Laplacian, i.e., ${\Delta}x_i={\lambda}_ix_i$, i = 1, 2 (${\lambda}_i{\in}R$) and $x_0$ is a constant vector, then, M is called a 2-type submanifold. In this paper we showed that a 2-type surface M in $E^3$ satisfies ${\langle}{\Delta}x,x-x_0{\rangle}=c$ for a constant c, where ${\langle},{\rangle}$ is the usual inner product in $E^3$, then M is an open part of a circular cylinder. Also we showed that if a quadric hypersurface M in a Euclidean space satisfies ${\langle}{\Delta}x,x{\rangle}=c$ for a constant c, then it is one of a minimal quadric hypersurface, a genaralized cone, a hypersphere, and a spherical cylinder.

In this paper we study (n + 1)-dimensional compact contact CR-submanifolds of (n - 1) contact CR-dimension immersed in an odd-dimensional unit sphere $S^{2m+1}$. Especially we provide necessary conditions in order for such a sub manifold to be the generalized Clifford surface $$S^{2n_1+1}(((2n_1+1)/(n+1))^{\frac{1}{2}})\;{\times}\;S^{2n_2+1}(((2n_2+1)/(n+1)^{\frac{1}{2}})$$ for some portion (n1, n2) of (n - 1)/2 in terms with sectional curvature.
