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...

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.

On the role of partial Ricci curvature in the geometry of submanifolds and foliations

Vladimir Rovenskiĭ (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Submanifolds and foliations with restrictions on q-Ricci curvature are studied. In §1 we estimate the distance between two compact submanifolds in a space of positive q-Ricci curvature, and give applications to special classes of submanifolds and foliations: k-saddle, totally geodesic, with nonpositive extrinsic q-Ricci curvature. In §2 we generalize a lemma by T. Otsuki on asymptotic vectors of a bilinear form and then estimate from below the radius of an immersed submanifold in a simply...

A pointwise inequality in submanifold theory

P. J. De Smet, F. Dillen, Leopold C. A. Verstraelen, L. Vrancken (1999)

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 ) .
