Abstract: We consider isometric immersions into space forms having the second fundamental form parallel at order k. We show that this class of immersions consists of local products, in a suitably defined sense, of parallel immersions and normally flat immersions of flat spaces.

Review text

The authors first introduce the notions that we will meet in the article in the context of existing results. Then they demonstrate some technical lemmas and propositions. The main result of the article is the following theorem: NEWLINENEWLINELet \((M; g)\rightarrow M^n(c)\) be a \(k\)-parallel isometric immersion into a standard space form \(M^n(c)\) of sectional curvature \(c\). It is the local product of a parallel immersion and a \(k\)-parallel immersion of a flat space with flat normal bundle. When \((M; g)\) is simply connected and complete, then the splitting is global.
