Submanifolds with constant principal curvatures in Riemannian symmetric spaces

Jurgen Berndt, Victor Sanmartin-Lopez

Published 2018-05-25Version 1

We study submanifolds whose principal curvatures, counted with multiplicities, do not depend on the normal direction. Such submanifolds are always austere, hence minimal, and have constant principal curvatures. Well-known classes of examples include totally geodesic submanifolds, homogeneous austere hypersurfaces, and singular orbits of cohomogeneity one actions. The main purpose of this article is to present a systematic approach to the construction and classification of homogeneous submanifolds whose principal curvatures are independent of the normal direction in irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of non-compact type and rank greater than one.
