We study isometric deformations of surfaces in four-dimensional space forms preserving the length of the mean curvature vector. In particular we consider the natural condition, called to be simple, and show that such surfaces with flat normal bundle are Bonnet surfaces in totally geodesic or umbilic 3-dimensional space forms, which is regarded as a generalization of Chen–Yau's reduction theorem for surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector.

Abstract In this paper, f-biharmonic submanifolds with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field in Lorentz space forms are discussed. When f f is a constant, we prove that such submanifolds have parallel mean curvature vector field with the minimal polynomial of the shape operator of degree ≤ 2 \le 2 . When f f is a function, we completely classify such pseudo-umbilical submanifolds.
