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 exhibit several families of Jacobi-Videv pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which are not Einstein. We also exhibit Jacobi-Videv algebraic curvature tensors where the Ricci operator defines an almost complex structure.
In this paper, we discuss the heat flow of a pseudo-harmonic map from a closed pseudo-Hermitian manifold to a Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature, and prove the existence of the pseudo-harmonic map which is a generalization of Eells-Sampsons existence theorem. We also discuss the uniqueness of the pseudo-harmonic representative of its homotopy class which is a generalization of Hartman theorem, provided that the target manifold has negative sectional curvature.
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.
In this paper, we derived biharmonic equations for pseudo-Riemannian submanifolds of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which includes the biharmonic equations for submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds as a special case. As applications, we proved that a pseudo-umbilical biharmonic pseudo-Riemannian submanifold of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold has constant mean curvature, we completed the classifications of biharmonic pseudo-Riemannian hypersurfaces with at most two distinct principal curvatures, which were used to give four construction methods to produce proper biharmonic pseudo-Riemannian submanifolds from minimal submanifolds. We also made some comparison study between biharmonic hypersurfaces of Riemannian space forms and the space-like biharmonic hypersurfaces of pseudo-Riemannian space forms.
