Abstract: Given a finite dimensional manifold $N$, the group $operatorname{Diff}_{mathcalS}(N)$ of diffeomorphism of $N$ which fall suitably rapidly to the identity, acts on the manifold $B(M,N)$ of submanifolds on $N$ of diffeomorphism type $M$ where $M$ is a compact manifold with $dimM<dimN$. For a right invariant weak Riemannian metric on $operatorname{Diff}_{mathcalS}(N)$ induced by a quite general operator $L:frak{X}_{mathcalS}(N)oGamma(T^{\ast }Notimesoperatornamevol(N))$, we consider the induced weak Riemannian metric on $B(M,N)$ and we compute its geodesics and sectional curvature. For that we derive a covariant formula for curvature in finite and infinite dimensions, we show how it makes O'Neill's formula very transparent, and we use it finally to compute sectional curvature on $B(M,N)$.
