A diagonal metric sum_{i=1}^n g_{ii} dx_i^2 is termed Guichard_k if sum_{i=1}^{n-k}g_{ii}-sum_{i=n-k+1}^n g_{ii}=0. A hypersurface in R^{n+1} is isothermic_k if it admits line of curvature co-ordinates such that its induced metric is Guichard_k. Isothermic_1 surfaces in R^3 are the classical isothermic surfaces in R^3. Both isothermic_k hypersurfaces in R^{n+1} and Guichard_k orthogonal co-ordinate systems on R^n are invariant under conformal transformations. A sequence of n isothermic_k hypersurfaces in R^{n+1} (Guichard_k orthogonal co-ordinate systems on R^n resp.) is called a Combescure sequence if the consecutive hypersurfaces (orthogonal co-ordinate systems resp.) are related by Combescure transformations. We give a correspondence between Combescure sequences of Guichard_k orthogonal co-ordinate systems on R^n and solutions of the O(2n-k,k)/O(n)xO(n-k,k)-system, and a correspondence between Combescure sequences of isothermic_k hypersurfaces in R^{n+1} and solutions of the O(2n+1-k,k)/O(n+1)xO(n-k,k)-system, both being integrable systems. Methods from soliton theory can therefore be used to construct Christoffel, Ribaucour, and Lie transforms, and to describe the moduli spaces of these geometric objects and their loop group symmetries.

Given a hypersurface $M$ of null scalar curvature in the unit sphere $mathbb{S}^n$, $nge 4$, such that its second fundamental form has rank greater than 2, we construct a singular scalar-flat hypersurface in $Rr^{n+1}$ as a normal graph over a truncated cone generated by $M$. Furthermore, this graph is 1-stable if the cone is strictly 1-stable.
We prove a theorem of Hadamard-Stoker type: a connected locally convex complete hypersurface immersed in $H^n times R$ (n>1), where $H^n$ is n-dimensional hyperbolic space, is embedded and homeomorphic either to the n-sphere or to $R^n$. In the latter case it is either a vertical graph over a convex domain in $H^n$ or has what we call a simple end.
We find a class of minimal hypersurfaces H(k) as the zero level set of Pfaffians, resp. determinants of real 2k+2 dimensional antisymmetric matrices. While H(1) and H(2) are congruent to a 6-dimensional quadratic cone resp. Hsiangs cubic su(4) invariant in R15, H(k>2) (special harmonic so(2k+2)-invariant cones of degree>3) seem to be new.
Let $R^{n+1, n}$ be the vector space $R^{2n+1}$ equipped with the bilinear form $(X,Y)=X^t C_n Y$ of index $n$, where $C_n= sum_{i=1}^{2n+1} (-1)^{n+i-1} e_{i, 2n+2-i}$. A smooth $gamma: Rto R^{n+1,n}$ is {it isotropic} if $gamma, gamma_x, ldots, gamma_x^{(2n)}$ are linearly independent and the span of $gamma, ldots, gamma_x^{(n-1)}$ is isotropic. Given an isotropic curve, we show that there is a unique up to translation parameter such that $(gamma_x^{(n)}, gamma_x^{(n)})=1$ (we call such parameter the isotropic parameter) and there also exists a natural moving frame. In this paper, we consider two sequences of curve flows on the space of isotropic curves parametrized by isotropic parameter. We show that differential invariants of these isotropic curves satisfy Drinfeld-Sokolovs KdV type soliton hierarchies associated to the affine Kac-Moody algebra $hat B_n^{(1)}$ and $hat A_{2n}^{(2)}$ Then we use techniques from soliton theory to construct bi-Hamiltonian structure, conservation laws, Backlund transformations and permutability formulas for these curve flows.

In this paper, we study biharmonic hypersurfaces in a product of an Einstein space and a real line. We prove that a biharmonic hypersurface with constant mean curvature in such a product is either minimal or a vertical cylinder generalizing a result of cite{OW} and cite{FOR}. We derived the biharmonic equation for hypersurfaces in $S^mtimes mathbb{R}$ and $H^mtimes mathbb{R}$ in terms of the angle function of the hypersurface, and use it to obtain some classifications of biharmonic hypersurfaces in such spaces. These include classifications of biharmonic hypersurfaces which are totally umbilical or semi-parallel for $mge 3$, and some classifications of biharmonic surfaces in $S^2times mathbb{R}$ and $H^2times mathbb{R}$ which are constant angle or belong to certain classes of rotation surfaces.
