In 1953, Calabi proved a rigidity theorem for Kählerian submanifolds in complex space forms [3]. The Calabi rigidity theorem, since then, has been successfully applied to various areas in geometry. Among them is the study of minimal surfaces in real space forms; see [4] for example.

AbstractThe main purpose of this paper is to determine isotropic immersions of complex space forms into real space forms with low codimension. This is an improvement of a result of S. Maeda.

AbstractWe prove a Bonnet theorem for isometric immersions of submanifolds into the products of an arbitrary number of simply connected real space forms. Then we prove the existence of associate families of minimal surfaces in such products. Finally, in the case of 𝕊

In this paper, we study the horizontal Newton transformations, which are nonlinear operators related to the natural splitting of the second fundamental form for hypersurfaces in a complex space form. These operators allow to prove the classical Minkowski formulas in the case of real space forms: unlike the real case, the horizontal ones are not divergence-free. Here, we consider the highest order of nonlinearity and we will show how a Minkowski-type formula can be obtained in this case.

Complete parallel submanifolds of a real space form of constant sectional curvature k have been completely classified by Ferus [3] when k ≧ 0, and by Takeuchi [19] when k < 0. A complex space form is by definition a 2n-dimensional simply connected Hermitian symmetric space of constant holomorphic sectional curvature c and will be denoted by (c).
