The new classes of submanifolds: (k,ε)-saddle, (kε)-parabolic, (k,ε)-asymptotic and (k,ε)-convex are defined in terms of eigenvalues of their 2-nd fundamental form.
The dimension of asymptotic subspaces and the index of relative nullity of submanifolds with non-positive extrinsic (sectional, q-th Ricci, q-th scalar) curvature are estimated from below.
The characterizations of totally geodesic submanifolds and cylinders and extremal theorem for Riemannian spaces of positive curvature are obtained.

 CVGMT: Measure of non-horizontal submanifolds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
k)-dimensional spherical Hausdorff measure of a k-codimensional submanifold with respect to its Riemannian measure.
These results stem from a blow-up theorem at non-horizontal points, where we rescale the submanifold with respect to group dilations and we show its convergence to a subgroup with respect to the Hausdorff convergence of sets.
We extend this blow-up to horizontal points of submanifolds in two step stratified groups.

 DC MetaData for: Genuine deformations of submanifolds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Since a submanifold of a deformable one is also deformable, to go deeper into the isometric deformation problem for submanifolds one has to discard those deformations that arise this way.
First, to introduce the concept of genuine deformation, and then to give the (quite restricted) geometric structure of the submanifolds that admit deformations of this kind.
The unifying character and geometric nature, as opposed to a purely algebraic one, of our main result suggest that it should be the starting point for a deformation theory extending the classical one for hypersurfaces to higher codimension.

 Surfaces, submanifolds, and aligned fox reimbedding in non-Haken 3-manifolds
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 partial derivative-connected sum decomposition of the submanifold can be aligned with such a structure on the submanifold's complement.

 UC Davis Math: Colloquia and Seminars
The purpose of this talk is to relate the geometries of calibrated submanifolds to their gauge theories.
We study the moduli space of deformations of a special kind of associative submanifolds in a $G_2$ manifold (which we call complex associative submanifolds); and we study the moduli space of deformations of a special kind of Cayley submanifolds (which we call complex Cayley submanifolds).
We propose a certain counting invariant for associative and Cayley submanifolds of foliated manifolds.

 DC MetaData for: Reducibility of Dupin submanifolds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
This problem is important on its own right in the theory of submanifolds in space forms, and it is completely solved in the paper.
This observation can be seen as a generalization of the classical fact that the orthogonal surfaces of a cyclic system are Ribaucour transforms one of each other.
One of the main results of this paper is that any submanifold that carries a Dupin principal normal with integrable conullity arises locally this way.

 07w5059 Minimal submanifolds and related problems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
A 5-day workshop in the summer of 2007 at BIRS on "Minimal submanifolds and related problems" is needed to stimulate the classical yet also modern mathematical field of minimal submanifolds.
Calibrated geometry, a subfield of minimal submanifolds, also witnessed a new wave of insights.
The partial differential equations which govern calibrated minimal submanifolds, such as the special Lagrangian equations, are usually fully nonlinear ones.

Here we prove that the moduli space of coassociative deformations of an asymptotically cylindrical coassociative submanifold C asymptotic to L_s x (R,infty), for s in F, is a smooth manifold of dimension equal to dim (V_+)+dim(ker(Phi))=dim (V_+)+b^2(L)-b^0(L)+b^3(C)-b^1(C)+b^0(C).
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to relate the geometries of calibrated submanifolds to their gauge theories.
We discuss the relation to Seiberg-Witten theory, and propose a certain counting invariant for associative and Cayley submanifolds of foliated manifolds.

For example they are (i) holomorphic curves and Lagrangian submanifolds in symplectic manifolds and (ii) associative submanifolds and coassociative submanifolds in G₂-manifolds.
We explain the correspondence between coisotropic submanifolds in M and Lagrangians in the symplectic knot space.
For each submanifold X in a sphere Sⁿ, we show that the corresponding conormal bundle N^{*}X is Lagrangian for the Stenzel form on T^{*}Sⁿ.

MERL – TR2004-134 – From Subspaces to Submanifolds
This paper identifies a broad class of nonlinear dimensionality reduced (NLDR) problems where the exact local isometry between an extrinsically curved data manifold M and a low-dimensional parameterization space can be recovered from a finite set of high-dimensional point sampels.
We show how to use the GNA operator for denosing, dimensionality reduction, and resynthesis of both the original data and of new samples, making such "submanifold" methods an attractive alternative to subspace methods in data analysis.

 Baouendi, M.S., Ebenfelt, P., Rothschild, L.P.: Real Submanifolds in Complex Space and Their Mappings.
This book presents many of the main developments of the past two decades in the study of real submanifolds in complex space, providing crucial background material for researchers and advanced graduate students.
One of the most important topics that the authors address here is the holomorphic extension of functions and mappings that satisfy the tangential Cauchy-Riemann equations on real submanifolds.
The book also devotes considerable attention to the study of holomorphic mappings between real submanifolds, and proves finite determination of such mappings by their jets under some optimal assumptions.

 On the nonexistence of stable currents in submanifolds of a Euclidean space, Xueshan Zhang
In this paper, we regard $M^m$ as a submanifold immersed in a Euclidean space and prove the conjecture under some pinched conditions about the sectional curvatures and the principal curvatures of $M^m$.
We also show that there is no stable $p$-current in a submanifold of $M^m$ and the $p$-th homology group vanishes when the shape operator of the submanifold satisfies certain conditions.

For example, conjecturally special lagrangian submanifolds play a central role in understanding the structure of Calabi-Yau 3-folds and in mirror symmetry (Strominger-Yau-Zaslow).
Recently geometric flow techniques, in particular, mean curvature flow, have been applied to lagrangian submanifolds (Thomas-Yau, M-T Wang) to construct special lagrangians in special cases.

Applies the tool of normal holonomy to the study of isoparametric submanifolds and their focal manifolds, orbits of linear Lie group actions and homogeneous submanifolds, and homogeneous structures on submanifolds
With special emphasis on new techniques based on the holonomy of the normal connection, this book provides an up-to-date, complete introduction to submanifold geometry.
It offers a thorough survey of these techniques and their applications and presents a framework for various recent results to date found only in scattered research papers.

Chern's works span all the classic fields of differential geometry: the Chern-Simons theory; the Chern-Weil theory, linking curvature invariants to characteristic classes; Chern classes; and other areas such as projective differential geometry and webs that are mathematically rich but currently have a lower profile.
He also published work in integral geometry, value distribution theory of holomorphic functions, and minimal submanifolds.
Inspired by Chern and his work, former colleagues, students and friends - themselves highly regarded mathematicians in their own right - come together to honor and celebrate Chern's huge contributions.
