On the stability of minimal immersions into Finsler manifolds

Minimal Immersions of Kähler Manifolds into Euclidean Spaces

We prove that a minimal isometric immersion of a Kähler-Einstein or homogeneous Kähler manifold into an Euclidean space must be totally geodesic. As an application we show that an open subset of the real hyperbolic plane RH2 cannot be minimally immersed into the Euclidean space. As another application we prove that if an irreducible Kähler manifold is minimally immersed in an Euclidean space th...

On Stretch curvature of Finsler manifolds

In this paper, Finsler metrics with relatively non-negative (resp. non-positive), isotropic and constant stretch curvature are studied.  In particular, it is showed that every compact Finsler manifold with relatively non-positive (resp. non-negative) stretch curvature is a Landsberg metric. Also, it is proved that every  (α,β)-metric of non-zero constant flag curvature and non-zero relatively i...

Immersions of Surfaces into Aspherical 3-manifolds

We study finite order invariants of null-homotopic immersions of a closed orientable surface into an aspherical orientable 3-manifold. We give the foundational constructions, and classify all order one invariants.

Minimal Immersions of Symmetric Spaces into Spheres

Isometric Immersions into 3-dimensional Homogeneous Manifolds

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold to be locally isometrically immersed into a 3-dimensional homogeneous manifold with a 4-dimensional isometry group. The condition is expressed in terms of the metric, the second fundamental form, and data arising from an ambient Killing field. This class of 3-manifolds includes in particular the Berger spheres,...
