A Riemannian manifold is said to be semisymmetric if R ( X , Y ) · R = 0 . A submanifold of Euclidean space which satisfies R ¯ ( X , Y ) · h = 0 is called semiparallel. It is known that semiparallel submanifolds are intrinsically semisymmetric. But can every semisymmetric manifold be immersed isometrically as a semiparallel submanifold? This problem has been solved up to now only for the dimension 2, when the answer is affirmative for the positive Gaussian curvature. Among semisymmetric manifolds a special role is played...
