[For the entire collection see Zbl 0748.00025.] A Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) is said to be locally decomposable if there exists a nonidentity (1,1) tensor field \(J\) on \(M\) satisfying \(J^ 2\)= identity, \(g(JX,JY)=g(X,Y)\), \(\nabla_ XJ=0\), where \(\nabla\) denotes the Riemannian connection for \(g\). \textit{Shum-ichi Tachibana} [Tohoku Math. J., II. Ser. 12, 281-292 (1960; Zbl 0094.348)] defined the product conformal curvature tensor \(C\) in a similar way that we define the conformal curvature tensor. If the product conformal curvature tensor of a locally decomposable Riemannian manifold is covariant constant, they say that the Riemannian manifold is a product conformally symmetric space. In this paper the author proves that a product umbilical submanifold of codimension 2 of a product conformal symmetric space is also a product conformal symmetric space.
