This book gathers contributions by respected experts on the theory of isometric immersions between Riemannian manifolds, and focuses on the geometry of CR structures on submanifolds in Hermitian manifolds. CR structures are a bundle theoretic recast of the tangential Cauchy–Riemann equations in complex analysis involving several complex variables. The book covers a wide range of topics such as Sasakian geometry, Kaehler and locally conformal Kaehler geometry, the tangential CR equations, Lorentzian geometry, holomorphic statistical manifolds, and paraquaternionic CR submanifolds.Intended as a tribute to Professor Aurel Bejancu, who discovered the notion of a CR submanifold of a Hermitian manifold in 1978, the book provides an up-to-date overview of several topics in the geometry of CR submanifolds. Presenting detailed information on the most recent advances in the area, it represents a useful resource for mathematicians and physicists alike.

This book contains an up-to-date survey and self-contained chapters on contact slant submanifolds and geometry, authored by internationally renowned researchers. The notion of slant submanifolds was introduced by Prof. B.Y. Chen in 1990, and A. Lotta extended this notion in the framework of contact geometry in 1996. Numerous differential geometers have since obtained interesting results on contact slant submanifolds. The book gathers a wide range of topics such as warped product semi-slant submanifolds, slant submersions, semi-slant ξ┴ -, hemi-slant ξ┴ -Riemannian submersions, quasi hemi-slant submanifolds, slant submanifolds of metric f-manifolds, slant lightlike submanifolds, geometric inequalities for slant submanifolds, 3-slant submanifolds, and semi-slant submanifolds of almost paracontact manifolds. The book also includes interesting results on slant curves and magnetic curves, where the latter represents trajectories moving on a Riemannian manifold under the action of magnetic field. It presents detailed information on the most recent advances in the area, making it of much value to scientists, educators and graduate students.

It provides several classification results of minimal slant surfaces, quasi-minimal slant surfaces, slant surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector, pseudo-umbilical slant surfaces, and biharmonic and quasi biharmonic slant surfaces in Lorentzian complex space forms.

This book contains an up-to-date survey and self-contained chapters on complex slant submanifolds and geometry, authored by internationally renowned researchers. The book discusses a wide range of topics, including slant surfaces, slant submersions, nearly Kaehler, locally conformal Kaehler, and quaternion Kaehler manifolds. It provides several classification results of minimal slant surfaces, quasi-minimal slant surfaces, slant surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector, pseudo-umbilical slant surfaces, and biharmonic and quasi biharmonic slant surfaces in Lorentzian complex space forms. Furthermore, this book includes new results on slant submanifolds of para-Hermitian manifolds. This book also includes recent results on slant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Hermitian manifolds, which are of extensive use in general theory of relativity and potential applications in radiation and electromagnetic fields. Various open problems and conjectureson slant surfaces in complex space forms are also included in the book. It presents detailed information on the most recent advances in the area, making it valuable for scientists, educators and graduate students.

This book, Differential Geometry: Riemannian Geometry and Isometric Immersions (Book I-B), is the second in a captivating series of four books presenting a choice of topics, among fundamental and more advanced in differential geometry (DG). Starting with the basics of semi-Riemannian geometry, the book aims to develop the understanding of smooth 1-parameter variations of geodesics of, and correspondingly of, Jacobi fields. A few algebraic aspects required by the treatment of the Riemann–Christoffel four-tensor and sectional curvature are successively presented. Ricci curvature and Einstein manifolds are briefly discussed. The Sasaki metric on the total space of the tangent bundle over a Riemannian manifold is built, and its main properties are investigated. An important integration technique on a Riemannian manifold, related to the geometry of geodesics, is presented for further applications. The other three books of the series areDifferential Geometry 1: Manifolds, Bundle and Characteristic Classes (Book I-A)Differential Geometry 3: Foundations of Cauchy-Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-C)Differential Geometry 4: Advanced Topics in Cauchy–Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-D)The four books belong to a larger book project (Differential Geometry, Partial Differential Equations, and Mathematical Physics) by the same authors, aiming to demonstrate how certain portions of DG and the theory of partial differential equations apply to general relativity and (quantum) gravity theory. These books supply some of the ad hoc DG machinery yet do not constitute a comprehensive treatise on DG, but rather authors’ choice based on their scientific (mathematical and physical) interests. These are centered around the theory of immersions—isometric, holomorphic, Cauchy–Riemann (CR)—and pseudohermitian geometry, as devised by Sidney Martin Webster for the study of nondegenerate CR structures, themselves a DG manifestation of the tangential CR equations.

Later, it presents the main results on CR-submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds, the basic inequalities associated with CR-submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds, and several theories and results related to Kaehler manifolds (in Chaps.

This book, Differential Geometry: Foundations of Cauchy–Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-C), is the third in a series of four books presenting a choice of topics, among fundamental and more advanced, in Cauchy–Riemann (CR) and pseudohermitian geometry, such as Lewy operators, CR structures and the tangential CR equations, the Levi form, Tanaka–Webster connections, sub-Laplacians, pseudohermitian sectional curvature, and Kohn–Rossi cohomology of the tangential CR complex. Recent results on submanifolds of Hermitian and Sasakian manifolds are presented, from the viewpoint of the geometry of the second fundamental form of an isometric immersion. The book has two souls, those of Complex Analysis versus Riemannian geometry, and attempts to fill in the gap among the two. The other three books of the series are:Differential Geometry: Manifolds, Bundles, Characteristic Classes (Book I-A)Differential Geometry: Riemannian Geometry and Isometric Immersions (Book I-B)Differential Geometry: Advanced Topics in Cauchy–Riemann and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-D)The four books belong to an ampler book project “Differential Geometry, Partial Differential Equations, and Mathematical Physics”, by the same authors, and aim to demonstrate how certain portions of differential geometry (DG) and the theory of partial differential equations (PDEs) apply to general relativity and (quantum) gravity theory. These books supply some of the ad hoc DG and PDEs machinery yet do not constitute a comprehensive treatise on DG or PDEs, but rather authors’ choice based on their scientific (mathematical and physical) interests. These are centered around the theory of immersions—isometric, holomorphic, and CR—and pseudohermitian geometry, as devised by Sidney Martin Webster for the study of nondegenerate CR structures, themselves a DG manifestation of the tangential CR equations.

This book, Differential Geometry: Advanced Topics in CR and Pseudohermitian Geometry (Book I-D), is the fourth in a series of four books presenting a choice of advanced topics in Cauchy–Riemann (CR) and pseudohermitian geometry, such as Fefferman metrics, global behavior of tangential CR equations, Rossi spheres, the CR Yamabe problem on a CR manifold-with-boundary, Jacobi fields of the Tanaka–Webster connection, the theory of CR immersions versus Lorentzian geometry. The book also discusses boundary values of proper holomorphic maps of balls, Beltrami equations on Rossi spheres within the Koranyi–Reimann theory of quasiconformal mappings of CR manifolds, and pseudohermitian analogs to the Gauss–Ricci–Codazzi equations in the study of CR immersions between strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds.
