We study low type submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean space which is especially of 2-type pseudo-umbilical. We also determine full null 2-type surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector in 4-dimensional Minkowski space-time.

Let M be a complete spacelike hypersurface in the (n + 1)-dimensional Minkowski space ${\mathbb{L}}^{n+1}$. Suppose that every unit speed curve X(s) on M satisfies ${\langle}X^{\prime\prime}(s),X^{\prime\prime}s){\rangle}{\geq}-1/r^2$ and there exists a point $p{\in}M$ such that for every unit speed geodesic X(s) of M through the point p, ${\langle}X^{\prime\prime}(s),X^{\prime\prime}s){\rangle}=-1/r^2$ holds. Then, we show that up to isometries of ${\mathbb{L}}^{n+1}$, M is the hyperbolic space $H^n(r)$.

Let K be a convex body of constant relative breadth and let $K^*$ be its polar dual with respect to the Euclidean unit circle. In this paper we obtain the lower bound for the volume of the pedal body $PK^*P $K^{*}$ of K^*.$ Using this, we also obtain the lower bound for the volume product V$(PK^*)$V(PK) for planar bodies.s.

In the present paper, we nd the conditions to characterize projective change between two (${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$)-metrics, such as Matsumoto metric $L=\frac{{\alpha}^2}{{\alpha}-{\beta}}$ and Randers metric $\bar{L}=\bar{\alpha}+\bar{\beta}$ on a manifold with dim $n$ > 2, where ${\alpha}$ and $\bar{\alpha}$ are two Riemannian metrics, ${\beta}$ and $\bar{\beta}$ are two non-zero 1-formas.

In this paper, we prove that if a metric measure space satisfies the volume doubling condition and the Hardy type inequality with the same exponent n ($n{\geq}3$), then it has exactly the n-dimensional volume growth. Besides, three interesting applications of this fact have also been given. The first one is that we prove that complete noncompact smooth metric measure space with non-negative weighted Ricci curvature on which the Hardy type inequality holds with the best constant are isometric to the Euclidean space with the same dimension. The second one is that we show that if a complete n-dimensional Finsler manifold of nonnegative n-Ricci curvature satisfies the Hardy type inequality with the best constant, then its flag curvature is identically zero. The last one is an interesting rigidity result, that is, we prove that if a complete n-dimensional Berwald space of non-negative n-Ricci curvature satisfies the Hardy type inequality with the best constant, then it is isometric to the Minkowski space of dimension n.
