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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-05-25T11:41:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C35", "53C40" ], "keywords": [ "constant principal curvatures", "normal direction", "irreducible riemannian symmetric spaces", "study submanifolds", "well-known classes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
