In this paper, we investigate some properties of Jacobi fields and conjugate points in a complete Riemannian manifold M. Also we get a necessary and sufficient condition about a geodesic without conjugate points in the manifold with non-negative curvature.

For a fixed parametrization of a curve in an orientable two-dimensional Riemannian manifold, we introduce and investigate a new frame and curvature function. Due to the way of defining this new frame as being the time-dependent rotation in the tangent plane of the standard Frenet frame, both these new tools are called flow.

We study the geometry of half lightlike sbmanifolds M of a semi-Riemannian space form $\tilde{M}(c)$ admitting a semi-symmetric metric connection subject to the conditions: (1) The screen distribution S(TM) is totally umbilical (geodesic) and (2) the co-screen distribution $S(TM^{\bot})$ of M is a conformal Killing one.

In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the second variation of an arbitrarily given smooth variation of a geodesic on a Riemannian manifold to be 0.

In the present paper, we study the geometric properties of the invariant submanifold of an almost Kenmotsu structure whose Riemannian curvature tensor has (𝜅, 𝜇, 𝜈)-nullity distribution. In this connection, the necessary and sufficient conditions are investigated for an invariant submanifold of an almost Kenmotsu (𝜅, 𝜇, 𝜈)-space to be totally geodesic under the behavior of functions 𝜅, 𝜇, and 𝜈.

The definitions and techniques, which deals with homotopic harmonic maps from a compact Riemannian manifold into a compact metric space, developed by N. J. Korevaar and R. M. Schoen [7] can be applied to more general situations. In this paper, we prove that for a complicated domain, possibly noncompact Riemannian manifold with infinitely generated fundamental group, the existence of homotopic harmonic maps can be proved if the initial map is simple in some sense.

In this paper we study some nonpositively curved Riemannian manifolds acted on by a Lie group of isometries with principal orbits of codimension one. Among other results it is proved that if the universal covering manifold satisfies some conditions then every nonexceptional singular orbit is a totally geodesic submanifold. When M is flat and is not toruslike, it is proved that either each orbit is isometric to $R^k\timesT^m$or there is a singular orbit. If the singular orbit is unique and nonexceptional, then it is isometric to $R^k\timesT^m$.

Let (M,F) and (M',F') be two foliated Riemannian manifolds with M compact. If the transversal Ricci curvature of F is nonnegative and the transversal sectional curvature of F' is nonpositive, then any transversally harmonic map ${\phi}:(M,F){\rightarrow}(M^{\prime},F^{\prime})$ is transversally totally geodesic. In addition, if the transversal Ricci curvature is positive at some point, then ${\phi}$ is transversally constant.

We introduce semi-slant submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds as a generalization of slant submersions, semi-invariant submersions, anti-invariant submersions, etc. We obtain characterizations, investigate the integrability of distributions and the geometry of foliations, etc. We also find a condition for such submersions to be harmonic. Moreover, we give lots of examples.

In this paper, we will study the tension field of the function related to a Riemannain submersion ${\pi}\;:\;N{\rightarrow}M$ with totally geodesic fibres. In case that the Riemannain submersion ${\pi}\;:\;N{\rightarrow}M$ particularly has a smooth map $f\;:\;M{\rightarrow}N$ which happens to be a section, we will show that tension field ${\tau}(f)$ of the energy functional can be decomposed into the horizontal and vertical parts.
