We present another proof of a theorem due to Hoffman and Osserman in Euclidean space concerning the determination of a conformal immersion by its Gauss map. Our approach depends on geometric quantities, that is, the hyperbolic Gauss mapGand formulae obtained in hyperbolic space. We use the idea that the Euclidean Gauss map and the hyperbolic Gauss map with some compatibility relation determine a conformal immersion, proved in a previous paper.

We study submanifolds of hyperbolic spaces with finite type hyperbolic Gauss map. First, we classify the hyperbolic submanifolds with 1-type hyperbolic Gauss map. Then we prove that a non-totally umbilical hypersurface Mn with nonzero constant mean curvature in a hyperbolic space [Formula: see text] has 2-type hyperbolic Gauss map if and only if M has constant scalar curvature. We also classify surfaces with constant mean curvature in the hyperbolic space [Formula: see text] having 2-type hyperbolic Gauss map. Moreover we show that a horohypersphere in [Formula: see text] has biharmonic hyperbolic Gauss map.

In this paper we adopt the hyperboloid in Minkowski space as the model of hyperbolic space. We define the hyperbolic Gauss map and the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrix of a hypersurface in hyperbolic space. The hyperbolic Gauss map has been introduced by Ch. Epstein [J. Reine Angew. Math. 372 (1986) 96–135] in the Poincaré ball model, which is very useful for the study of constant mean curvature surfaces. However, it is very hard to perform the calculation because it has an intrinsic form. Here, we give an extrinsic definition and we study the singularities. In the study of the singularities of the hyperbolic Gauss map (indicatrix), we find that the hyperbolic Gauss indicatrix is much easier to calculate. We introduce the notion of hyperbolic Gauss–Kronecker curvature whose zero sets correspond to the singular set of the hyperbolic Gauss map (indicatrix). We also develop a local differential geometry of hypersurfaces concerning their contact with hyperhorospheres.2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 53A25, 53A05, 58C27.

Abstract Let $\mathcal {W}^{n}$ W n be the set of smooth complete simply connected n-dimensional manifolds without conjugate points. The Euclidean space and the hyperbolic space are examples of these manifolds. Let $W\in \mathcal {W}^{n}$ W ∈ W n and let A and B be two convex subsets of W. This note aims to investigate separation and slab horosphere separation of A and B. For example,sufficient conditions on A and B to be separated by a slab of horospheres are obtained. Existence and uniqueness of foot points and farthest points of a convex set A in $W\in \mathcal {W}$ W ∈ W are considered.

This paper is to study various properties of holomorphic mappings defined on the unit ball B in the complex euclidean space Cn with ranges in the space Cm. Furnishing B with the standard invariant Kähler metric and Cm with the ordinary euclidean metric, we define, for each holomorphic mapping f : B → Cm, a pair of non-negative continuous functions qf and Qf on B ; see § 2 for the definition.Let (Ω), Ω > 0, be the family of holomorphic mappings f : B → Cn such that Qf(z) ≦ Ω for all z ∈ B. (Ω) contains the family (M) of bounded holomorphic mappings as a proper subfamily for a suitable M > 0.

The objective of this paper is to show that the group with an imposed Lie-Poisson structure can be used to determine the trajectory in a spatial frame of a rigid body in Euclidean space. Identical results for the trajectory are obtained in spherical and hyperbolic space by scaling the linear displacements appropriately since the influence of the moments of inertia on the trajectories tends to zero as the scaling factor increases. The semidirect product of the linear and rotational motions gives the trajectory from a body frame perspective. It is shown that this cannot be used to determine the trajectory in the spatial frame. The body frame trajectory is thus independent of the velocity coupling. In addition, it is shown that the analysis can be greatly simplified by aligning the axes of the spatial frame with the axis of symmetry which is unchanging for a natural system with no forces and rotation about an axis of symmetry.
