Submanifold theory from the viewpoint of circles

Maeda, Sadahiro
File
Description
We study submanifolds by using the notion of circles in Riemannian
geometry. This expository paper consists of two parts. One is to improve Nomizu and Yano’s result ([11]) which characterizes extrinsic spheres in a Riemannian manifold. The other is to characterize totally geodesic immersions and some parallel immersions in terms of Frenet curves of proper order 2 (which are generalizations of circles) on submanifolds.
