A pinching theorem on complete submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vectors

Ziqi Sun (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let M be an n-dimensional complete immersed submanifold with parallel mean curvature vectors in an (n+p)-dimensional Riemannian manifold N of constant curvature c > 0. Denote the square of length and the length of the trace of the second fundamental tensor of M by S and H, respectively. We prove that if S ≤ 1/(n-1) H² + 2c, n ≥ 4, or S ≤ 1/2 H² + min(2,(3p-3)/(2p-3))c, n = 3, then M is umbilical. This result generalizes the...

A pointwise inequality in submanifold theory

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We obtain a pointwise inequality valid for all submanifolds M n of all real space forms N n + 2 ( c ) with n ≥ 2 and with codimension two, relating its main scalar invariants, namely, its scalar curvature from the intrinsic geometry of M n , and its squared mean curvature and its scalar normal curvature from the extrinsic geometry of M n in N m ( c ) .

On an inequality of Oprea for Lagrangian submanifolds

Franki Dillen, Johan Fastenakels (2009)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We show that a Lagrangian submanifold of a complex space form attaining equality in the inequality obtained by Oprea in [8], must be totally geodesic.
