Imersões isométricas em produtos de duas formas espaciais

Abstract

In this thesis we study isometric immersions into products of two space forms using the approach introduced by Lira et al in [18]. Parallel isometric immersions into products of two space forms with nonzero sectional curvatures are classified, and the classification of umbilical isometric immersions f : Mm Ñ On1 k1 _ On2 k2 , with m ¥ 3 and k1 􀀀 k2 _ 0, is reduced to that of umbilical isometric immersions of codimension two into On k _ R, k 0, where On k denotes the space form with dimension n and sectional curvature k. To accomplish this, we prove some results of independent interest on reduction of codimension of isometric immersions into products of two space forms.
