Abstract: We prove an inequality between the sum of the Betti numbers of a complex projective manifold and its total curvature, and we characterize the complex projective manifolds whose total curvature is minimal. These results extend the classical theorems of Chern and Lashof to complex projective space.

Review text

The author establishes an inequality between \(\beta_j\), the Betti numbers of \(M^m\), an \(m\)-dimensional compact complex projective manifold and its total curvature \(\mathcal{T}(M^m)\) (Definition 1.4). To be precise, the main result states that \(\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^{2m}\beta_j\le \frac{m+1}{2}\mathcal{T}(M^m).\) Let us describe some sections. In the second section, the author reviews known results on the total curvature in the complex projective setting and states a formulation of the Chern-Lashof theorems for submanifolds of spheres. The third and the fourth sections are reserved for the proof of the main result. In the fifth section, the author states a result on the geometric meaning of the total curvature and another one on the extrinsic formulation of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern.
