Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition under which a Riemannian three-manifold carrying a unit Killing field admits totally geodesic surfaces and we study local and global properties of three-manifolds satisfying this condition.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-07-08T14:47:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "totally umbilical hypersurfaces", "unit killing field", "manifolds admitting", "killing field admits", "field admits totally geodesic surfaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1006.1261S" } } }
