Kähler submanifolds whose Ricci curvature is bounded from below (Q2491062)

An \(n\)-dimensional complex projective space \(n\)-\(\mathbb{C} P(c)\) is an \(n\)-dimensional complex Kähler manifold of constant holomorphic sectional curvature \(c > 0\). \textit{K. Ogiue} [Hokkaido Math. J. 1, 16--20 (1972; Zbl 0246.53055)] shows a sufficient condition (the Ricci curvatures are greater than \(n/2)\) for an \(n\)-dimensional complete Kähler submanifold, of an \(n+p\)-\(\mathbb{C} P(1)\), to be totally geodesic. \textit{H. Nakagawa} and \textit{R. Takagi} [J. Math. Soc. Japan 28, 638--667 (1976; Zbl 0328.53009)] classified the compact Kähler \(n\)-submanifolds immersed in an \(m\)-\(\mathbb{C} P(1)\) with parallel second fundamental form. The authors give the classification of complete Kähler submanifolds immersed in \(n+p\)-\(\mathbb{C} P(1)\), whose Ricci curvature is greater than or equal to \(n/2\). The first proof consists in the evaluation of the Laplacian of the squared norm of the second fundamental tensor. Another proof is obtained by using Ros's theorem for the holomorphic pinching condition \(H\) (the holomorphic sectional curvature) greater than or equal to \(1/2\).
