  • 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.

  • In this paper, we introduce the notion of a screen slant lightlike submanifold of an indefinite Kenmotsu manifold. We provide characterization theorem for existence of screen slant lightlike submanifold with examples. Also, we give an example of a minimal screen slant lightlike submanifold of $R_2^9$ and prove some characterization theorems.

  • The following is the basic problem about the stability in Riemannian Geometry; given a Riemannian manifold N, find all stable complete minimal submanifolds of N. As answers of this problem, do Carmo-Peng [1] and Fischer-Colbrie and Schoen [3] showed that the stable minimal surfaces in R$^{3}$ are planes and Schoen-Yau [5] and Fischer-Colbrie and Schoen [3] gave a solution for the case where the ambient space is a three dimensional manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature. In this paper we will remove the assumption of finite absolute total curvature in [3, Theorem 3].

  • Let M$^n$ be a complete oriented non-compact minimally immersed submanifold in a complete Riemannian manifold N$^{n+p}$ of nonnegative curvature. We prove that if M is super-stable, then there are no non-trivial L$^2$ harmonic one forms on M. This is a generalization of the main result in [8].

  • In this paper, we investigate exponentially biharmonic maps u : (M, g) ${\rightarrow}$ (N, h) from a Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature. We obtain that if $\int_{M}e^{\frac{p{\mid}r(u){\mid}^2}{2}{\mid}{\tau}(u){\mid}^pdv_g$ < ${\infty}$ ($p{\geq}2$), $\int_{M}{\mid}{\tau}(u){\mid}^2dv_g$ < ${\infty}$ and $\int_{M}{\mid}d(u){\mid}^2dv_g$ < ${\infty}$, then u is harmonic. When u is an isometric immersion, we get that if $\int_{M}e^{\frac{pm^2{\mid}H{\mid}^2}{2}}{\mid}H{\mid}^qdv_g$ < ${\infty}$ for 2 ${\leq}$ p < ${\infty}$ and 0 < q ${\leq}$ p < ${\infty}$, then u is minimal. We also obtain that any weakly convex exponentially biharmonic hypersurface in space form N(c) with $c{\leq}0$ is minimal. These results give affirmative partial answer to conjecture 3 (generalized Chen's conjecture for exponentially biharmonic submanifolds).

  • 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.
