Some properties of normal sections and geodesics
on cyclic recurrent submanifolds
I. I. Bodrenko Volgograd State University
Abstract:
Let Fn be n-dimensional (n≥2) submanifold in
(n+p)-dimensional Euclidean space En+p (p≥1). Let
x be arbitrary point Fn, TxFn be tangent space to Fn
at the point x. Let γg(x,t) be a geodesic on Fn
passing through the point x∈Fn in the direction t∈TxFn. Denote by kg(x,t) and ϰg(x,t) curvature
and torsion of geodesic γg(x,t)⊂En+p,
respectively, calculated for point x.
Torsion ϰg(x,t) of geodesic γg(x,t) is
called geodesic torsion of submanifold Fn⊂En+p at the
point x in the direction t.
Let γN(x,t) be a normal section of submanifold
Fn⊂En+p at the point x∈Fn in the direction
t∈TxFn. Denote by kN(x,t) and ϰN(x,t)
curvature and torsion of normal section γN(x,t)⊂En+p, respectively, calculated for point x.
Denote by b the second fundamental form of Fn, by
¯∇ the connection of van der Waerden — Bortolotti.
The fundamental form b≠0 is called cyclic recurrent if on
Fn there exists 1-form μ such that
¯∇Xb(Y,Z)=μ(X)b(Y,Z)+μ(Y)b(Z,X)+μ(Z)b(X,Y)
for all vector fields X,Y,Z tangent to Fn.
Submanifold Fn⊂En+p with cyclic recurrent the second
fundamental form b≠0 is called cyclic recurrent submanifold.
The properties of normal sections γN(x,t) and
geodesics γg(x,t) on cyclic recurrent submanifolds
Fn⊂En+p are studied in this article. The conditions
for which cyclic recurrent submanifolds Fn⊂En+p
have zero geodesic torsion ϰg(x,t)≡0 at
every point x∈Fn in every direction t∈TxFn are
derived in this article.
Denote by R0 a set of submanifolds Fn⊂En+p,
on which
kg(x,t)≠0,ϰg(x,t)≡0,∀x∈Fn,∀t∈TxFn.
The following theorem is proved in this article.
Let Fn be a cyclic recurrent submanifold in En+p with no
asymptotic directions. Then Fn belongs to the set R0
if and only if the following condition holds:
kN(x,t)=k(x),∀x∈Fn,∀t∈TxFn.
Keywords:
