Abstract: The famous Nash embedding theorem was aimed for in the hope that if Riemannian manifolds could be regarded as Riemannian submanifolds, this would then yield the opportunity to use extrinsic help. However, as late as 1985 (see cite{G}) this hope had not been materialized. The main reason for this is due to the lack of controls of the extrinsic properties of the submanifolds by the known intrinsic invariants. In order to overcome such difficulties as well as to provide answers to an open question on minimal immersions, we introduced in the early 1990's new types of Riemannian invariants, known as the $delta$-invariants or the so-called Chen invariants, different in nature from the "classical" Ricci and scalar curvatures. At the same time we also able to establish general optimal relations between the new intrinsic invariants and the main extrinsic invariants for Riemannian submanifolds. Since then many results concerning these invariants, inequalities, related subjects, and their applications have been obtained by many geometers. The main purpose of this article is thus to provide an extensive and comprehensive survey of results over this very active field of research done during the last fifteen years. Several related inequalities and their applications are presented in this survey article as well.
