In the paper under review, the authors construct a new class of semi-Riemannian and light-like manifolds (including globally null) by using a hypersurface of an orientable Riemannian manifold, endowed with second fundamental form instead of a metric induced from the ambient space. They show existence (or non-existence) of harmonic tensor fields and harmonic maps and extend to the semi-Riemannian and light-like case a result of Chen-Nagano. They also deal with general light-like submanifolds immersed in a semi-Riemannian manifold.
