Abstract

In this paper, geometric characterizations of conformally flat and radially flat hypersurfaces in and are given by means of their extrinsic geometry. Under suitable conditions on the shape operator, we classify conformally flat hypersurfaces in terms of rotation hypersurfaces. In addition, a close relation between radially flat hypersurfaces and semi-parallel hypersurfaces is established. These results lead to geometric descriptions of hypersurfaces with special intrinsic structures, such as Einstein metrics, Ricci solitons and hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature.

Background reading

The guides for the topics of this paper: what each idea is, why it matters, and the papers to read first.

Ricci solitons Metrics that change under Ricci flow only by scaling and diffeomorphisms: shrinking, steady or expanding solitons. Start with: The Ricci flow on surfaces (Hamilton, 1988) Einstein metrics Metrics whose Ricci curvature is a constant multiple of the metric. They are the fixed points of normalised Ricci flow, and the most natural metrics… Start with: On the ricci curvature of a compact kähler manifold and the complex monge‐ampére equation, I (Yau, 1978) Scalar curvature The trace of the Ricci tensor. Under Ricci flow its minimum never decreases and positive scalar curvature (PSC) is preserved. Start with: On the proof of the positive mass conjecture in general relativity (Schoen et al., 1979)
