Submanifolds with nonpositive extrinsic curvature (Q522145)

The authors prove curvature estimates for complete isometric immersions \(f : M^m \rightarrow N^{n+ l} = P^n \times Q^l\) satisfying \(n+2l < 2m\) and which are cylindrically bounded, meaning that \(f(M) \subset B_P(R) \times Q\) where \(B_P(R)\) is an appropriately chosen geodesic ball of radius \(R\) in \(P\). The main tools used in the proof are Otsuki's Lemma, the Omori-Yau maximum principle, and the Hessian comparison theorem. This work generalizes a result by \textit{L. J. Alías} et al. [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 364, No. 7, 3513--3528 (2012; Zbl 1277.53047)].
