Given $(bar{M},Omega)$ a calibrated Riemannian manifold with a parallel calibration of rank $m$, and $M^m$ an immersed orientable submanifold with parallel mean curvature $H$ we prove that if $cos theta$ is bounded away from zero, where $theta$ is the $Omega$-angle of $M$, and if $M$ has zero Cheeger constant, then $M$ is minimal. In the particular case $M$ is complete with $Ricc^Mgeq 0$ we may replace the boundedness condition on $cos theta$ by $cos thetageq Cr^{-beta}$, when $rto +infty$, where $ 0leqbeta <1 $ and $C > 0$ are constants and $r$ is the distance function to a point in $M$. Our proof is surprisingly simple and extends to a very large class of submanifolds in calibrated manifolds, in a unified way, the problem started by Heinz and Chern of estimating the mean curvature of graphic hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces. It is based on a estimation of $|H|$ in terms of $costheta$ and an isoperimetric inequality. We also give some conditions to conclude $M$ is totally geodesic. We study some particular cases.

We generalize a Bernstein-type result due to Albujer and Alias, for maximal surfaces in a curved Lorentzian product 3-manifold of the form $Sigma_1times mathbb{R}$, to higher dimension and codimension. We consider $M$ a complete spacelike graphic submanifold with parallel mean curvature, defined by a map $f: Sigma_1to Sigma_2$ between two Riemannian manifolds $(Sigma_1^m, g_1)$ and $(Sigma^n_2, g_2)$ of sectional curvatures $K_1$ and $K_2$, respectively. We take on $Sigma_1times Sigma_2$ the pseudo-Riemannian product metric $g_1-g_2$. Under the curvature conditions, $mathrm{Ricci}_1 geq 0$ and $K_1geq K_2$, we prove that, if the second fundamental form of $M$ satisfies an integrability condition, then $M$ is totally geodesic, and it is a slice if $mathrm{Ricci}_1(p)>0$ at some point. For bounded $K_1$, $K_2$ and hyperbolic angle $theta$, we conclude $M$ must be maximal. If $M$ is a maximal surface and $K_1geq K_2^+$, we show $M$ is totally geodesic with no need for further assumptions. Furthermore, $M$ is a slice if at some point $pin Sigma_1$, $K_1(p)> 0$, and if $Sigma_1$ is flat and $K_2<0$ at some point $f(p)$, then the image of $f$ lies on a geodesic of $Sigma_2$.
We study conditions for which the mapping torus of a 6-manifold endowed with an $SU(3)$-structure is a locally conformal calibrated $G_2$-manifold, that is, a 7-manifold endowed with a $G_2$-structure $varphi$ such that $d varphi = - theta wedge varphi$ for a closed non-vanishing 1-form $theta$. Moreover, we show that if $(M, varphi)$ is a compact locally conformal calibrated $G_2$-manifold with $mathcal{L}_{theta^{#}} varphi =0$, where ${theta^{#}}$ is the dual of $theta$ with respect to the Riemannian metric $g_{varphi}$ induced by $varphi$, then $M$ is a fiber bundle over $S^1$ with a coupled $SU(3)$-manifold as fiber.
This is a survey of our work on spacelike graphic submanifolds in pseudo-Riemannian products, namely on Heinz-Chern and Bernstein-Calabi results and on the mean curvature flow, with applications to the homotopy of maps between Riemannian manifolds.
We study the geometry of almost contact pseudo-metric manifolds in terms of tensor fields $h:=frac{1}{2}pounds _xi varphi$ and $ell := R(cdot,xi)xi$, emphasizing analogies and differences with respect to the contact metric case. Certain identities involving $xi$-sectional curvatures are obtained. We establish necessary and sufficient condition for a nondegenerate almost $CR$ structure $(mathcal{H}(M), J, theta)$ corresponding to almost contact pseudo-metric manifold $M$ to be $CR$ manifold. Finally, we prove that a contact pseudo-metric manifold $(M,varphi,xi,eta,g)$ is Sasakian if and only if the corresponding nondegenerate almost $CR$ structure $(mathcal{H}(M), J)$ is integrable and $J$ is parallel along $xi$ with respect to the Bott partial connection.
Given a Riemannian spin^c manifold whose boundary is endowed with a Riemannian flow, we show that any solution of the basic Dirac equation satisfies an integral inequality depending on geometric quantities, such as the mean curvature and the ONeill tensor. We then characterize the equality case of the inequality when the ambient manifold is a domain of a Kahler-Einstein manifold or a Riemannian product of a Kahler-Einstein manifold with R (or with the circle S^1).
