Integral Formulae and Applications for Compact Riemannian Hypersurfaces in Riemannian and Lorentzian Manifolds Admitting Concircular Vector Fields
This paper investigates compact Riemannian hypersurfaces immersed in (n+1)-dimensional Riemannian or Lorentzian manifolds that admit concircular vector fields, also known as closed conformal vector fields (CCVFs). We focus on the support function of the hypersurface, which is defined as the component of the conformal vector field along the unit-normal vector field, and derive an expression for its Laplacian. Using this, we establish integral formulae for hypersurfaces admitting CCVFs. These results are then extended to compact Riemannian hypersurfaces isometrically immersed in Riemannian or Lorentzian manifolds with constant sectional curvatures, highlighting the crucial role of CCVFs in the study of hypersurfaces. We apply these results to provide characterizations of compact Riemannian hypersurfaces in Euclidean space Rn+1, Euclidean sphere Sn+1, and de Sitter space S1n+1.
An odd-dimensional sphere admits a killing vector field, induced by the transform of the unit normal by the complex structure of the ambiant Euclidean space. In this paper, we studied orientable…
In this paper, we examine torse-forming vector fields to characterize extrinsic spheres (that is, totally umbilical hypersurfaces with nonzero constant mean curvatures) in Riemannian and…
