NEGATIVE FORMS AND PATH SPACE FORMS

Negative Forms and Path Space Forms

We present an account of negative differential forms within a natural algebraic framework of differential graded algebras, and explain their relationship with forms on path spaces.

Isotropic Lagrangian Submanifolds in Complex Space Forms

In this paper we study isotropic Lagrangian submanifolds , in complex space forms . It is shown that they are either totally geodesic or minimal in the complex projective space , if . When , they are either totally geodesic or minimal in . We also give a classification of semi-parallel Lagrangian H-umbilical submanifolds.

Umbilicity of (Space-Like) Submanifolds of Pseudo-Riemannian Space Forms

We study umbilic (space-like) submanifolds of pseudo-Riemannian space forms, then define totally semi-umbilic space-like submanifold of pseudo Euclidean space and relate this notion to umbilicity. Finally we give characterization of total semi-umbilicity for space-like submanifolds contained in pseudo sphere or pseudo hyperbolic space or the light cone.A pseudo-Riemannian submanifold M in (a...

Spherical Space Forms Revisited

We give a simplified proof of J. A. Wolf’s classification of finite groups that can act freely and isometrically on a round sphere of some dimension. We slightly improve the classification by removing some non-obvious redundancy. The groups are the same as the Frobenius complements of finite group theory. In chapters 4–7 of his famous Spaces of Constant Curvature [7], J. A. Wolf classified the ...
