We investigate ruled surfaces in 3d Riemannian manifolds, i.e., surfaces foliated by geodesics. In 3d space forms, we find the striction curve, distribution parameter, and the first and second fundamental forms, from which we obtain the Gaussian and mean curvatures. We also provide model-independent proof for the known fact that extrinsically flat surfaces in space forms are ruled. This allows us to identify the necessary and sufficient condition for an extrinsically flat surface in a generic 3d manifold to be ruled. Further, we show that if a 3d manifold has an extrinsically flat surface tangent to any 2d plane and if they are all ruled surfaces, then the manifold is a space form. As an application, we prove that there must exist extrinsically flat surfaces in the Riemannian product of the hyperbolic plane, or sphere, with the reals and that does not make a constant angle with the real direction.

We show any Riemannian curvature model can be geometrically realized by a manifold with constant scalar curvature. We also show that any pseudo-Hermitian curvature model, para-Hermitian curvature model, hyper-pseudo-Hermitian curvature model, or hype r-para-Hermitian curvature model can be realized by a manifold with constant scalar and *-scalar curvature.

A connected Riemannian manifold M has constant vector curvature epsilon, denoted by cvc(epsilon), if every tangent vector v in TM lies in a 2-plane with sectional curvature epsilon. By scaling the metric on M, we can always assume that epsilon = -1, 0, or 1. When the sectional curvatures satisfy the additional bound that each sectional curvature is less than or equal to epsilon, or that each sectional curvature is greater than or equal to epsilon, we say that, epsilon, is an extremal curvature. In this paper we study three-manifolds with constant vector curvature. Our main results show that finite volume cvc(epsilon) three-manifolds with extremal curvature epsilon are locally homogenous when epsilon=-1 and admit a local product decomposition when epsilon=0. As an application, we deduce a hyperbolic rank-rigidity theorem.

We study the problem of deforming a Riemannian metric to a conformal one with nonzero constant scalar curvature and nonzero constant boundary mean curvature on a compact manifold of dimension $ngeq 3$. We prove the existence of such conformal metrics in the cases of $n=6,7$ or the manifold is spin and some other remaining ones left by Escobar. Furthermore, in the positive Yamabe constant case, by normalizing the scalar curvature to be $1$, there exists a sequence of conformal metrics such that their constant boundary mean curvatures go to $+infty$.

We give a new proof of the generalized Minkowski identities relating the higher degree mean curvatures of orientable closed hypersurfaces immersed in a given constant sectional curvature manifold. Our methods rely on a fundamental differential system of Riemannian geometry introduced by the author. We develop the notion of position vector field, which lies at the core of the Minkowski identities.
The Han-Li conjecture states that: Let $(M,g_0)$ be an $n$-dimensional $(ngeq 3)$ smooth compact Riemannian manifold with boundary having positive (generalized) Yamabe constant and $c$ be any real number, then there exists a conformal metric of $g_0$ with scalar curvature $1$ and boundary mean curvature $c$. Combining with Z. C. Han and Y. Y. Lis results, we answer this conjecture affirmatively except for the case that $ngeq 8$, the boundary is umbilic, the Weyl tensor of $M$ vanishes on the boundary and has a non-zero interior point.
