Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The present Special Issue of Mathematics will feature two types of research articles. The first type concerns regular research papers that are strongly related to inequalities in geometry and applications. The second type refers to high-quality review articles on the same subject; in this case, after summarizing historical facts and the state-of-the-art knowledge about the topic under investigation, the article must conclude with some new open problems in the field, therefore stimulating further research.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to: inequalities in Euclidean geometry; inequalities in spherical and hyperbolic geometry; inequalities in convex geometry; inequalities in Riemannian geometry; inequalities in complex geometry; inequalities in contact and symplectic geometry; and inequalities in quaternionic geometry.

Prof. Dr. Gabriel Eduard Vilcu

On the Extrinsic Principal Directions and Curvatures of Lagrangian Submanifolds

From the basic geometry of submanifolds will be recalled what are the extrinsic principal tangential directions, (first studied by Camille Jordan in the 18seventies), and what are the principal first normal directions, (first studied by Kostadin Trenčevski in the 19nineties), and what are their corresponding Casorati curvatures. For reasons of simplicity of exposition only, hereafter this will merely be done explicitly in the case of arbitrary submanifolds in Euclidean spaces. Then, for the special case of Lagrangian submanifolds in complex Euclidean spaces, the natural relationships between these distinguished tangential and normal directions and their corresponding curvatures will be established.

The identity that we obtain generalizes the backbone of the local Kähler identities to the setting of almost Hermitian manifolds, allowing for new global results for such manifolds. Full article

The fundamental goal of this study was to achieve the Ricci curvature inequalities for a skew CR-warped product (SCR W-P) submanifold isometrically immersed in a complex space form (CSF) in the expressions of the squared norm of mean curvature vector and warping functions (W-F). The equality cases were likewise examined. In particular, we also derived Ricci curvature inequalities for CR-warped product (CR W-P) submanifolds. To sustain this study, an example of these submanifolds is provided. Full article

In the present paper, we prove that if Laplacian for the warping function of complete warped product submanifold M m = B p × h F q in a unit sphere S m + k satisfies some extrinsic inequalities depending on the dimensions of the base B p and fiber F q such that the base B p is minimal, then M m must be diffeomorphic to a unit sphere S m . Moreover, we give some geometrical classification in terms of Euler–Lagrange equation and Hamiltonian of the warped function. We also discuss some related results. Full article

In the geometry of submanifolds, Chen inequalities represent one of the most important tool to find relationships between intrinsic and extrinsic invariants; the aim is to find sharp such inequalities. In this paper we establish an optimal inequality for the Chen invariant δ ( 2 , 2 ) on Lagrangian submanifolds in quaternionic space forms, regarded as a problem of constrained maxima. Full article

In this paper, we give an estimate of the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator on minimally immersed Legendrian submanifold N n in Sasakian space forms N ˜ 2 n + 1 ( ϵ ) . We prove that a minimal Legendrian submanifolds in a Sasakian space form is isometric to a standard sphere S n if the Ricci curvature satisfies an extrinsic condition which includes a gradient of a function, the constant holomorphic sectional curvature of the ambient space and a dimension of N n . We also obtain a Simons-type inequality for the same ambient space forms N ˜ 2 n + 1 ( ϵ ) . Full article

The Maslov form is a closed form for a Lagrangian submanifold of C m , and it is a conformal form if and only if M satisfies the equality case of a natural inequality between the norm of the mean curvature and the scalar curvature, and it happens if and only if the second fundamental form satisfies a certain relation. In a previous paper we presented a natural inequality between the norm of the mean curvature and the scalar curvature of slant submanifolds of generalized Sasakian space forms, characterizing the equality case by certain expression of the second fundamental form. In this paper, first, we present an adapted form for slant submanifolds of a generalized Sasakian space form, similar to the Maslov form, that is always closed. And, in the equality case, we studied under which circumstances the given closed form is also conformal. Full article

Throughout the history of the study of Einstein manifolds, researchers have sought relationships between the curvature and topology of such manifolds. In this paper, first, we prove that a compact Einstein manifold ( M , g ) with an Einstein constant α > 0 is a homological sphere when the minimum of its sectional curvatures > α / ( n + 2 ) ; in particular, ( M , g ) is a spherical space form when the minimum of its sectional curvatures > α / n . Second, we prove two propositions (similar to the above ones) for Tachibana numbers of a compact Einstein manifold with α < 0 . Full article

In this work, we first derive a generalized Wintgen type inequality for a Lagrangian submanifold in a generalized complex space form. Further, we extend this inequality to the case of bi-slant submanifolds in generalized complex and generalized Sasakian space forms and derive some applications in various slant cases. Finally, we obtain obstructions to the existence of non-flat generalized complex space forms and non-flat generalized Sasakian space forms in terms of dimension of the vector space of solutions to the first fundamental equation on such spaces.

Warped products play crucial roles in differential geometry, as well as in mathematical physics, especially in general relativity. In this article, first we define and study statistical solitons on Ricci-symmetric statistical warped products R × f N 2 and N 1 × f R . Second, we study statistical warped products as submanifolds of statistical manifolds. For statistical warped products statistically immersed in a statistical manifold of constant curvature, we prove Chen’s inequality involving scalar curvature, the squared mean curvature, and the Laplacian of warping function (with respect to the Levi–Civita connection). At the end, we establish a relationship between the scalar curvature and the Casorati curvatures in terms of the Laplacian of the warping function for statistical warped product submanifolds in the same ambient space.
