As an application, we prove that\nthe even-dimensional totally geodesic spheres in the unit sphere are critical\npoints of the Graham-Witten energy with non-negative second variation.", "lang": "en", "mimetype": "text/plain", "sha1": "0f031d5872ea960d5708b8adaa67db52eb269e7a" } ], "contribs": [ { "index": 0, "raw_name": "Yuya Takeuchi", "role": "author" } ], "ext_ids": { "arxiv": "1807.06307v1" }, "extra": { "arxiv": { "base_id": "1807.06307", "categories": [ "math.DG", "hep-th" ], "comments": "10 pages, typos corrected" }, "superceded": true }, "ident": "ml7eci5bmnc4zl6fc6vzscciwu", "language": "en", "license_slug": "ARXIV-1.0", "refs": [], "release_date": "2018-07-17", "release_stage": "submitted", "release_type": "article", "release_year": 2018, "revision": "e93d62ec-142e-4e9d-b375-b39926d77212", "state": "active", "title": "On the second variation of the Graham-Witten energy", "version": "v1", "work_id": "a7vxbmynmfdphbpyzc43dejf54" }
