The constancy of principal curvatures of curvature-adapted submanifolds in symmetric spaces (Q2252609)

The author investigates a class of submanifolds in non-Euclidean Riemannian symmetric spaces and shows that these submanifolds are isoparametric submanifolds. More precisely let \(G/K\) be a Riemannian symmetric space of compact type or of non-compact type and let \(M\subset G/K\) be a complete curvature-adapted submanifold with maximal flat section and trivial normal holonomy group. Then the author establishes that under some technical conditions the principal curvatures of these submanifolds are constant and that these submanifolds are isoparametric.
