2-type surfaces of constant curvature in \(S^n\) (Q1108599)

The main purpose of this paper is to classify mass-symmetric 2-type surfaces \(M(k)\) of constant curvature \(k\) in a unit hypersphere \(S^n\) of a Euclidean \((n+1)\)-space. In particular, the author obtains the following interesting results. Theorem 1. \(k\geq 0\) and if \(k>0\), then the immersion is the diagonal sum of two 1-type immersions. Theorem 2. Let \(M\) be a flat surface and the immersion \(f\) be a full mass-symmetric 2-type Chen immersion. If \(n\geq 9\), then \(f\) is a diagonal sum of two different 1-type immersions. Theorem 3. Let \((S^6,g,J)\) be the nearly Kähler manifold with the canonical almost complex structure and \(T\) a maximal torus of the automorphism group of \(S^6\). If \(M\) is a \(T\)-orbit which is totally real mass-symmetric 2-type, then \(M\) is a Chen surface. Many other related results are also obtained.
