This paper extends to dimension 4 the results in the article " Second Order Families of Special Lagrangian 3-folds " by Robert Bryant. We consider the problem of classifying the special Lagrangian 4-folds in C 4 whose fundamental cubic at each point has a nontrivial stabilizer in SO(4). Points on special Lagrangian 4-folds where the SO(4)-stabilizer is nontrivial are the analogs of the umbilica...

Abstract We obtain inequalities for all Laplace eigenvalues of Riemannian manifolds with an upper sectional curvature bound, whose rudiment version the 1st eigenvalue was discovered by Berger in 1979. show that our continue to hold conformal metrics, and moreover, extend naturally minimal submanifolds. In addition, we explicit bounds submanifolds terms geometric quantities ambient space.

In [4] B. Y. Chen studied warped product CR-submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds. Afterward, I. Hasegawa and I. Mihai [5] obtained a sharp inequality for the squared norm of the second fundamental form for contact CR-warped products in Sasakian space form. Recently Alegre, Blair and Carriago [1] introduced generalized Sasakian space form. The aim of present paper is to study contact CR-warped prod...

We study the mean curvature flow of complete space-like submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean space with bounded Gauss image, as well as that of complete submanifolds in Euclidean space with convex Gauss image. By using the confinable property of the Gauss image under the mean curvature flow we prove the long time existence results in both cases. We also study the asymptotic behavior of these soluti...

Understanding non-Haken 3-manifolds is central to many current endeavors in 3-manifold topology. We describe some results for closed orientable surfaces in non-Haken manifolds, and extend Fox’s theorem for submanifolds of the 3-sphere to submanifolds of general non-Haken manifolds. In the case where the submanifold has connected boundary, we show also that the ∂connected sum decomposition of th...

We sketch in this article a new theory, which we call Symplectic Field Theory or SFT, which provides an approach to Gromov-Witten invariants of symplectic manifolds and their Lagrangian submanifolds in the spirit of topological field theory, and at the same time serves as a rich source of new invariants of contact manifolds and their Legendrian submanifolds. Moreover, we hope that the applicati...

In this article we investigate the geometry of CR-lightlike submanifolds in an indefinite Kähler product manifold. In particular, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for a CR-lightlike submanifold in an indefinite Kähler product manifold to be either CR-lightlike product, or D-geodesic, or D′-geodesic. We also study totally umbilical and curvature-invariant CR-lightlike submanifol...

We consider exact Lagrangian submanifolds in cotangent bundles. Under certain additional restrictions (triviality of the fundamental group of the cotangent bundle, and of the Maslov class and second Stiefel-Whitney class of the Lagrangian submanifold) we prove such submanifolds are Floer-cohomologically indistinguishable from the zero-section. This implies strong restrictions on their topology....
