Abstract. Roughly speaking, an ideal immersion of a Riemannian manifold into a real space form is an isometric immersion which produces the least possible amount of tension from the ambient space at each point of the submanifold. The main purpose of this paper is to completely classify all non-minimal ideal submanifolds of real space forms with type number ≤ 2.
It is known that applying an scriptH‐homothetic deformation to a complex contact manifold whose vertical space is annihilated by the curvature yields a condition which is invariant under scriptH‐homothetic deformations. A complex contact manifold satisfying this condition is said to be a complex (κ,μ)‐space.
In this paper, we deal with the questions of Bochner, conformal and conharmonic flatness of complex (κ,μ)‐spaces when κ<1, and prove that such kind of spaces cannot be Bochner flat, conformally flat or conharmonically flat.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
