On product affine hyperspheres in R^n+1

In this paper,we study locally strongly convex affine hyperspheres in the unimodular affine space Rn+1 which,as Riemannian manifolds,are locally isometric to the Riemannian product of two Riemannian manifolds both possessing constant sectional curvature.As the main result,a complete classification of such affine hyperspheres is established.Moreover,as direct consequences,3-and 4-dimensional affine hyperspheres with parallel Ricci tensor are also classified.

Characterization of Totally Geodesic Totally Real 3-dimensional Submanifolds in the 6-sphere

In this paper, we study Lagrangian submanifolds of the nearly Kaehler 6-sphere. We derive a pinching result for the Ricci curvature of such submanifolds thus providing a characterisation of the totally geodesic submanifold. Our pinching result improves a previous result obtained by H. Li.

Minimal Lagrangian submanifolds of the complex hyperquadric

We introduce a structural approach to study Lagrangian submanifolds of the complex hyperquadric in arbitrary dimension by using its family of non-integrable almost product structures.In particular,we define local angle functions encoding the geometry of the Lagrangian submanifold at hand.We prove that these functions are constant in the special case that the Lagrangian immersion is the Gauss map of an isoparametric hypersurface of a sphere and give the relation with the constant principal curvatures of the hypersurface.We also use our techniques to classify all minimal Lagrangian submanifolds of the complex hyperquadric which have constant sectional curvatures and all minimal Lagrangian submanifolds for which all local angle functions,respectively all but one,coincide.

Conformally flat, minimal, Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms

We investigate n-dimensional(n≥4),conformally flat,minimal,Lagrangian submanifolds of the n-dimensional complex space form in terms of the multiplicities of the eigenvalues of the Schouten tensor and classify those that admit at most one eigenvalue of multiplicity one.In the case where the ambient space is Cn,the quasi umbilical case was studied in Blair(2007).However,the classification there is not complete and several examples are missing.Here,we complete(and extend) the classification and we also deal with the case where the ambient complex space form has non-vanishing holomorphic sectional curvature.

Characterization of the Generalized Calabi Composition of Affine Hyperspheres

In this paper, continuing with Hu-Li Vrancken and the recent work of Antid Dillen- Schoels-Vrancken, we obtain a decomposition theorem which settled the problem of how to determine whether a given locally strongly convex aitine hypersurface can be decomposed as a generalized Calabi composition of two affine hyperspheres, based on the properties of its difference tensor K and its affine shape operator S.
