Biharmonic Riemannian submersions from 3-manifolds
An important theorem about biharmonic submanifolds proved independently by
Chen-Ishikawa [CI] and Jiang [Ji] states that an isometric immersion of a
surface into 3-dimensional Euclidean space is biharmonic if and only if it is
harmonic (i.e, minimal). In a later paper [CMO2], Cadeo-Monttaldo-Oniciuc shown
that the theorem remains true if the target Euclidean space is replaced by a
3-dimensional hyperbolic space form. In this paper, we prove the dual results
for Riemannian submersions, i.e., a Riemannian submersion from a 3-dimensional
space form of non-positive curvature into a surface is biharmonic if and only
if it is harmonic
Biharmonic PNMC Submanifolds in Spheres
We obtain several rigidity results for biharmonic submanifolds in
with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field. We
classify biharmonic submanifolds in with parallel normalized
mean curvature vector field and with at most two distinct principal curvatures.
In particular, we determine all biharmonic surfaces with parallel normalized
mean curvature vector field in .
Then we investigate, for (not necessarily compact) proper biharmonic
submanifolds in , their type in the sense of B-Y. Chen. We prove:
(i) a proper biharmonic submanifold in is of 1-type or 2-type if
and only if it has constant mean curvature {\mcf}=1 or {\mcf}\in(0,1),
respectively; (ii) there are no proper biharmonic 3-type submanifolds with
parallel normalized mean curvature vector field in .Comment: 17 page
