We study the geometry of lightlike submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian manifold. The purpose of this paper is to prove two singular theorems for irrotational lightlike submanifolds M of a semi-Riemannian space form $\bar{M}(c)$ admitting a semi-symmetric non-metric connection such that the structure vector field of $\bar{M}(c)$ is tangent to M.

We classify complete, locally homogeneous metrics with finite volume on four-dimensional manifolds which are critical points for the squared $L^2-norm$ functionals of either the full Riemannian curvature tensor or the Weyl curvature tensor defined on the space of Riemannian metrics.

We study lightlike hypersurfaces M of a semi-Riemannian space form $\tilde{M}(c)$ with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection whose structure vector field is tangent to M. Our main result is two characterization theorems for such a lightlike hypersurface.

We study lightlike hypersurfaces of a semi-Riemannian space form $\tilde{M}(c)$ admitting a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. First, we construct a type of lightlike hypersurfaces according to the form of the structure vector field of $\tilde{M}(c)$, which is called a ascreen lightlike hypersurface. Next, we prove a characterization theorem for such an ascreen lightlike hypersurface endow with a totally geodesic screen distribution.

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.

We study screen quasi-conformal irrotational half lightlike submanifolds M of a semi-Riemannian space form $\bar{M}$ (c) equipped with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection subject such that the structure vector field of $\bar{M}$ (c) belongs to the screen distribution S(TM). The main result is a non-existence theorem for such half lightlike submanifolds.

In a Riemannian manifold, the existence of a new connection is proved. In particular cases, this connection reduces to several symmetric, semi-symmetric and quarter symmetric connections, even some of them are not introduced so far. So, in this paper, we define a quarter symmetric semi-metric connection in an almost r-paracontact Riemannian manifold and consider invariant, non-invariant and anti-invariant hypersurfaces of an almost r-paracontact Riemannian manifold with that connection.

In this paper, we study the geometry of half lightlike submanifolds M of a semi-Riemannian manifold $\tilde{M}$ with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection subject to the conditions; (1) the characteristic vector field of $\tilde{M}$ is tangent to M, the screen distribution on M is totally umbilical in M and the co-screen distribution on M is conformal Killing, or (2) the screen distribution is integrable and the local lightlike second fundamental form of M is parallel.

The $(\alpha, \beta)$-metric is a Finsler metric which is constructed from a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a differential 1-form $\Beta$; it has been sometimes treat in theoretical physics. In particular, the projective flatness of Finsler space with a metric $L^2 = 2\alpha\beta$ is considered in detail.
