Isoparametric foliations, a problem of Eells-Lemaire and conjectures of Leung (1407.0539v3)

Published 2 Jul 2014 in math.DG

Abstract: In this paper, two sequences of minimal isoparametric hypersurfaces are constructed via representations of Clifford algebras. Based on these, we give estimates on eigenvalues of the Laplacian of the focal submanifolds of isoparametric hypersurfaces in unit spheres. This improves results of [TY13] and [TXY14]. Eells and Lemaire [EL83] posed a problem to characterize the compact Riemannian manifold M for which there is an eigenmap from M to Sn. As another application of our constructions, the focal maps give rise to many examples of eigenmaps from minimal isoparametric hypersurfaces to unit spheres. Most importantly, by investigating the second fundamental forms of focal submanifolds of isoparametric hypersurfaces in unit spheres, we provide infinitely many counterexamples to two conjectures of Leung Le91 on minimal submanifolds in unit spheres. Notice that these conjectures of Leung have been proved in the case that the normal connection is flat [HV01].
