In a recent paper [2] Nomizu and Smyth have determined the hypersurfaces Mn of non-negative sectional curvature iso-metrically immersed in the Euclidean space Rn+1 or the sphere Sn+1 with constant mean curvature under the additional assumption that the scalar curvature of Mn is constant. This additional assumption is automatically satisfied if Mn is compact. In this paper we extend these results to codimension p isometric immersions. We determine the n-dimensional submanifolds Mn of non-negative sectional curvature isometrically immersed in the Euclidean Space Rn+P or the sphere Sn+P with constant mean curvature under the additional assumptions that Mn has constant scalar curvature and the curvature tensor of the connection in the normal bundle is zero. By constant mean curvature we mean that the mean curvature normal is paral lel with respect to the connection in the normal bundle. The assumption that Mn has constant scalar curvature is automatically satisfied if Mn is compact. The assumption on the normal connection is automatically sa tisfied if p = 2 and the mean curvature normal is not zero.

In this paper, we study n-dimensional complete submanifolds with constant scalar curvature in the Euclidean space En+p and n-dimensional compact submanifolds with constant scalar curvature in the unit sphere Sn+p(1). We prove that the totally umbilical sphere Sn(r), totally geodesic Euclidean space En and generalized cylinder Sn−1(c) × E1 are the only n-dimensional (n > 2) complete submanifolds Mn with constant scalar curvature n(n − 1)r in the Euclidean space En+p, which satisfy the following condition: where S denotes the squared norm of the second fundamental form of Mn. For compact submanifolds with constant scalar curvature in the unit sphere Sn+p(1), we also obtain a corresponding result (see theorem 1.3).

If [Formula: see text] is a 3-dimensional contact metric manifold such that [Formula: see text] which admits a Yamabe soliton [Formula: see text] with the flow vector field [Formula: see text] pointwise collinear with the Reeb vector field [Formula: see text], then we show that the scalar curvature is constant and the manifold is Sasakian. Moreover, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is endowed with a Yamabe soliton [Formula: see text], then either [Formula: see text] is flat or it has constant scalar curvature and the flow vector field [Formula: see text] is Killing. Furthermore, we show that if [Formula: see text] is non-flat, then either [Formula: see text] is a Sasakian manifold of constant curvature [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] is an infinitesimal automorphism of the contact metric structure on [Formula: see text].

AbstractWe consider the extent of certain complete hypersurfaces of Euclidean space. We prove that every complete hypersurface in En+1 with sectional curvature bounded below and non-positive scalar curvature has at least (n − 1) unbounded coordinate functions.
