In this paper, we obtain some lower bounds for area of non-simply connected compact singular surfaces of nonpositive curvature. One inequality involves systole and area of the surface.

In this paper, we estimate area of tube in a CBA(0)-space with extendible geodesics. As its application, we obtain an upper bound of systole in a nonsimply connected space of nonpositive curvature. Also, we determine a relative growth of a ball in a CBA(0)-space to the corresponding ball in Euclidean plane.

In this paper we study some nonpositively curved Riemannian manifolds acted on by a Lie group of isometries with principal orbits of codimension one. Among other results it is proved that if the universal covering manifold satisfies some conditions then every nonexceptional singular orbit is a totally geodesic submanifold. When M is flat and is not toruslike, it is proved that either each orbit is isometric to $R^k\timesT^m$or there is a singular orbit. If the singular orbit is unique and nonexceptional, then it is isometric to $R^k\timesT^m$.

Let M be a complete open Riemannian manifold. When the sectional curvature $K_M$ of M is nonpositive, Gromov has defined, in his lectures [3], the ideal boundary of M, and used it to study the geometric structure of M. In a Hadamard manifold, a simply connected manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature, a point at infinity can be defined as an equivalence class of rays. He proved many interesting theorems using this definition of ideal boundary and the so-called Tit's metric on it. He also suggested a counterpart to this for nonnegative curvature case. This idea has been taken up by Kasue to study the structure of complete open manifolds with asympttically nonnegative curvature [14]. Motivated by these works, we will define an idela boundary of a general noncompact manifold M, and study its structure.

Let (M,F) and (M',F') be two foliated Riemannian manifolds with M compact. If the transversal Ricci curvature of F is nonnegative and the transversal sectional curvature of F' is nonpositive, then any transversally harmonic map ${\phi}:(M,F){\rightarrow}(M^{\prime},F^{\prime})$ is transversally totally geodesic. In addition, if the transversal Ricci curvature is positive at some point, then ${\phi}$ is transversally constant.

Suppose that (M,g) is a complete and noncompact Riemannian mani-fold with Ricci curvature bounded below by $-K{\leq}0$ and (N, $\bar{g}$) is a complete Riemannian manifold with nonpositive sectional curvature. Let u : $M{\times}[0,{\infty}){\rightarrow}N$ be the solution of a heat equation for harmonic map with a bounded image. We estimate the energy density of u.

In 3-dimensional Euclidean space, the geometric figures of a regular curve are completely determined by the curvature function and the torsion function of the curve, and surfaces are the fundamental curved spaces for pioneering study in modern geometry as well as in classical differential geometry. In this paper, we define parametrizations for surface by using parametric functions whose images are in the normal plane of each point on a given curve, and then obtain some results relating the Gaussian curvature of the surface with curvature and torsion of the given curve. In particular, we find some conditions for the surface to have either nonpositive Gaussian curvature or nonnegative Gaussian curvature.

In this paper, for an m-dimensional (m ≥ 5) complete non-compact submanifold M immersed in an n-dimensional (n ≥ 6) simply connected Riemannian manifold N with negative sectional curvature, under suitable constraints on the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M, the norm of its weighted mean curvature vector |H_f| and the weighted real-valued function f, we can obtain: • several one-end theorems for M; • two Liouville theorems for harmonic maps from M to complete Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive sectional curvature.

In this paper, we establish some comparison theorems about volumes of tubes in metric spaces with nonpositive curvature. First we compare the Hausdorff measure of tube about a metric ball contained in an (n-1)-dimensional totally geodesic subspace of an n-dimensional locally compact, geodesically complete Hadamard space with Lebesgue measure of its corresponding tube in Euclidean space ${\mathbb{R}}^n$, and then develop the result to the case of an m-dimensional totally geodesic subspace for 1 < m < n with an additional condition. Also, we estimate the Hausdorff measure of the tube about a shortest curve in a metric space of curvature bounded above and below.

In this paper, we use the convexity of distance function between geodesics in a singular Hadamard space to generalize Hadamard-Cartan theorem for 2-dimensional metric spaces. We also determine a neighborhood of a closed geodesic where no other closed geodesic exists in a complete space of nonpositive curvature.
