LetM˜(U,Ω˜,η˜,ξ,g˜)be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold of signature(n+1,n). One defines onM˜an almost cosymplectic paraf-structure and proves that a manifoldM˜endowed with such a structure isξ-Ricci flat and is foliated by minimal hypersurfaces normal toξ, which are of Otsuki's type. Further one considers onM˜a2(n−1)-dimensional involutive distributionP⊥and a recurrent vector fieldV˜. It is proved that the maximal integral manifoldM⊥ofP⊥hasVas the mean curvature vector (up to1/2(n−1)). If the complimentary orthogonal distributionPofP⊥is also involutive, then the whole manifoldM˜is foliate. Different other properties regarding the vector fieldV˜are discussed.

We study surfaces with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field in Euclidean or Minkowski 4-space. On any such surface we introduce special isothermal parameters (canonical parameters) and describe these surfaces in terms of three invariant functions. We prove that any surface with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field parametrized by canonical parameters is determined uniquely up to a motion in Euclidean (or Minkowski) space by the three invariant functions satisfying a system of three partial differential equations. We find examples of surfaces with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field and solutions to the corresponding systems of PDEs in Euclidean or Minkowski space in the class of the meridian surfaces.
