  • It has been conjectured that, on a compact orient able manifold M, a critical point of the total scalar curvature functional restricted the space of unit volume metrics of constant scalar curvature is Einstein. In this paper we show that if a manifold is a 3-dimensional warped product, then (M, g) cannot be a critical point unless it is isometric to the standard sphere.

  • In this paper we derive an integral formula on an (n + 1)-dimensional, compact, minimal contact CR-submanifold M of (n - 1) contact CR-dimension immersed in a unit (2m+1)-sphere $S^{2m+1}$. Using this integral formula, we give a sufficient condition concerning with the scalar curvature of M in order that such a submanifold M is to be a generalized Clifford torus.

  • It has been conjectured that, on a compact 3-dimensional manifold, a critical point of the total scalar curvature functional restricted to the space of constant scalar curvature metrics of volume 1 is Einstein. In this paper we find a sufficient condition that a critical point is Einstein. This condition is equivalent for a critical point ot be conformally flat. Its relationship with the Fisher-Marsden conjecture is also discussed.

  • We discuss on the classification problem of symplectic manifolds into three families according to the scalar curvature functions of almost K$\ddot{a}$hler metrics they admit. We also present a 4-dimensional solv-manifold as an example which belongs to one of the three families.

  • 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.

  • In this paper, we study conformally flat (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metrics in the form $F={\alpha}(1+{\sum_{j=1}^{m}}\;a_j({\frac{\beta}{\alpha}})^j)$ with $m{\geq}2$, where ${\alpha}$ is a Riemannian metric and ${\beta}$ is a 1-form on a smooth manifold M. We prove that if such conformally flat (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metric F is of weakly isotropic scalar curvature, then it must has zero scalar curvature. Moreover, if $a_{m-1}a_m{\neq}0$, then such metric is either locally Minkowskian or Riemannian.

  • In this paper, we prove the optimal inequalities for the generalized normalized ${\delta}$-Casorati curvature and the normalized scalar curvature for different submanifolds in generalized (${\kappa},{\mu}$)-space forms. The proof is based on an optimization procedure involving a quadratic polynomial in the components of the second fundamental form. We also characterize the submanifolds on which equalities hold.
