    The object of this article is to characterize submanifolds of the Euclidean space whose shape operator is unipoten

    Minimal Immersions of Kahler manifolds into Euclidean Spaces

    No full text
    It is proved here that a minimal isometric immersion of a Kähler-Einstein or homogeneous Kähler-manifold into an Euclidean space must be totally geodesic

    Autoparallel distributions and splitting theorems

    No full text
    We study some links between autoparallel distributions and the factorization of a riemannian manifold. Finally, we prove a splitting theorem for Lie groups with biinvariant metric

    Minimal homogeneous submanifolds in euclidean spaces

    No full text
    We prove that minimal (extrinsically) homogeneous submanifolds of the Euclidean space are totally geodesic. As an application, we obtain that a complex (intrisecally) homogeneous submanifold of a complex Euclidean space must be totally geodesic

    Mok's characteristic varieties and the normal holonomy group

    No full text
    In this paper we complete the study of the normal holonomy groups of complex submanifolds (non nec. complete) of Cn or CPn. We show that irreducible but non-transitive normal holonomies are exactly the Hermitian s-representations of [4, Table 1] (see Corollary 1.1). For each one of them we construct a non necessarily complete complex submanifold whose normal holonomy is the prescribed s-representation. We also show that if the submanifold has irreducible non-transitive normal holonomy then it is an open subset of the smooth part of one of the characteristic varieties studied by N. Mok in his work about rigidity of locally symmetric spaces. Finally, we prove that if the action of the normal holonomy group of a projective submanifold is reducible then the submanifold is an open subset of the smooth part of a so called join, i.e. the union of the lines joining two projective submanifolds.Fil: Di Scala, Antonio J..

    Geometry applications of irreducible representations of Lie Groups

    No full text
    In this note we give proofs of the following three algebraic facts which have applications in the theory of holonomy groups and homogeneous spaces: Any irreducibly acting connected subgroup G \subset Gl(n,\rr) is closed. Moreover, if GG admits an invariant bilinear form of Lorentzian signature, GG is maximal, i.e. it is conjugated to SO(1,n1)0SO(1,n-1)_0. We calculate the vector space of GG-invariant symmetric bilinear forms, show that it is at most 33-dimensional, and determine the maximal stabilizers for each dimension. Finally, we give some applications and present some open problem

    Reducibility of complex submanifolds of the complex euclidean spaces

    No full text
    Let M be a simply connected complex submanifold of CN. We prove that M is irreducible, up a totally geodesic factor,if and only if the normal holonomy group acts irreducibly. This is an extrinsic analogue of the well-known De Rham decomposition theorem for a complex manifold. Our result is not valid in the real context, as it is shown by many counterexamples
