The position vector field x is the most elementary and natural geometric object on a Euclidean submanifold M. The position vector field plays very important roles in mathematics as well as in physics. Similarly, the tangential component $x^T$ of the position vector field is the most natural vector field tangent to the Euclidean submanifold M. We simply call the vector field $x^T$ the canonical vector field of the Euclidean submanifold M. In earlier articles [4,5,9,11,12], we investigated Euclidean submanifolds whose canonical vector fields are concurrent, concircular, torse-forming, conservative or incompressible. In this article we study Euclidean submanifolds with conformal canonical vector field. In particular, we characterize such submanifolds. Several applications are also given. In the last section we present three global results on complete Euclidean submanifolds with conformal canonical vector field.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the geometry of complete gradient Yamabe soliton (Mn, g, f, λ) with constant scalar curvature admitting a non-homothetic conformal vector field V leaving the potential vector field invariant. We show that in such manifolds the potential function f is constant and the scalar curvature of g is determined by its soliton scalar. Considering the locally conformally flat case and conformal vector field V, without constant scalar curvature assumption, we show that g has constant curvature and determines the potential function f explicitly.

We study hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space with the following property: the tangential part of the position vector has constant length. As a result, we prove that among the connected and complete hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space, only the hypersphere centered at the origin satisfies the property.

We study Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which admit a closed conformal vector field. Subject to the condition that at each point $p{\in}M^n$ the set of conformal gradient vector fields spans a non-degenerate subspace of TpM, using a warped product structure theorem we give a complete description of the space of conformal vector fields on arbitrary non-Ricci flat Einstein spaces.

Let M be a real hypersurface in the complex hyperbolic quadric Q^m*, m ≥ 3. The Riemannian curvature tensor field R of M allows us to define a symmetric Jacobi operator with respect to the Reeb vector field ξ, which is called the structure Jacobi operator R_ξ = R( · , ξ)ξ ∈ End(TM). On the other hand, in [20], Semmelmann showed that the cyclic parallelism is equivalent to the Killing property regarding any symmetric tensor. Motivated by his result above, in this paper we consider the cyclic parallelism of the structure Jacobi operator R_ξ for a real hypersurface M in the complex hyperbolic quadric Q^m*. Furthermore, we give a complete classification of Hopf real hypersurfaces in Q^m* with such a property.

In this article, we show that if a semi-Riemannian space form carries a conformal vector field V of which the tangential part $V^T$ on a connected hypersurface $M^N$ ecomes a conformal vector field and the normal part $V^N on $M^N$ does not vanish identically, then $M^N$ is totally umbilic. Furthermore, we give a complete description of conformal vector fields on semi-Riemannian space forms.

We study the complete lifts of projectable linear connection for semi-tangent bundle. The aim of this study is to establish relations between these and complete lift already known. In addition, the relations between infinitesimal linear transformations and projectable linear connections are studied. We also have a new example for good square in this work.

In the first paper of this series, [2], we investigated how the conformal change enforces the connections and gave the complete relations between connections in Einstein's $^*g^{{\lambda}{\nu}}$-unified field theory. In the current paper we wish to investigate how the vector def $$S_{{\lambda}{{\mu}}{{^\mu}}{=^{def}}S_{\lambda}$$ is transformed by the conformal change. This topics will be studied for all classes and all possible indices of inertia.

In this article, we study rotation surfaces in the 4-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space E$_2$$^4$. Also, we obtain the complete classification theorems for the flat rotation surfaces with finite type Gauss map, pointwise 1-type Gauss map and an equation in terms of the mean curvature vector. In fact, we characterize the flat rotation surfaces of finite type immersion with the Gauss map and the mean curvature vector field, namely the Gauss map of finite type, pointwise 1-type Gauss map and some algebraic equations in terms of the Gauss map and the mean curvature vector field related to the Laplacian of the surfaces with respect to the induced metric.
