Conformal nullity of isotropic submanifolds

Vladimir Rovenski (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We introduce and study submanifolds with extrinsic curvature and second fundamental form related by an inequality that holds for isotropic submanifolds and becomes equality for totally umbilical submanifolds. The dimension of umbilical subspaces and the index of conformal nullity of these submanifolds with low codimension are estimated from below. The corollaries are characterizations of extrinsic spheres in Riemannian spaces of positive curvature.

Totally umbilical submanifolds in some semi-Riemannian manifolds

Stanisław Ewert-Krzemieniewski (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate totally umbilical submanifolds in manifolds satisfying some curvature conditions of either recurrent or pseudosymmetry type in the sense of Ryszard Deszcz and derive the respective condition for submanifolds. We also prove some relations involving the mean curvature and the Weyl conformal curvature tensor of submanifolds. Some examples are discussed.

Willmore submanifolds in the unit sphere.

Guo Zhen (2004)

Collectanea Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper we generalize the self-adjoint differential operator (used by Cheng-Yau) on hypersurfaces of a constant curvature manifold to general submanifolds. The generalized operator is no longer self-adjoint. However we present its adjoint operator. By using this operator we get the pinching theorem on Willmore submanifolds which is analogous to the pinching theorem on minimal submanifold of a sphere given by Simon and Chern-Do Carmo-Kobayashi.
