On the quasi Gauss map for a compact sub-manifold in Euclidean space
-
Abstract
Let σ be the quasi Gauss map of a compact and oriented n-dimensional isometric immersion sub-manifold Mn in the (n+p)-dimensional Euclid space Rn+p. Denote by ξ the unit mean curvature vector field to Mn and denote by Hi the i-mean curvature along the direction ξ.Assume that Hi>0, i=1,2,…,r for some integer r (1≤r≤n-1) and Hr is a constant. By applying an integral formula recently given by themselves, it is proven that if the image σ(Mn) lies within an open n-dimension unit semi sphere Sn+ then Mn must be totally quasi umbilical. This result generalizes a relevant theorem on hypersurfaces in Euclid space.
