Review text

Let \(M\) be a Riemannian manifold and \(TM\) its tangent bundle endowed with the Sasaki metric. Here the author studies totally geodesic submanifolds in the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold \(M\) of dimension two with sign-preserving curvature. The main result is: Let \(F^{2}\subset TM^{2}\) be a totally geodesic submanifold, where \(M^{2}\) is a Riemannian manifold of constant curvature \(K\neq 0\). Then (locally) \(F^{2}\) is one of the following: \(\left( a\right) \) a single fiber \(T_{q}M^{2}\); \(\left( b\right) \) a cylinder-type surface based on a geodesic \(\gamma \) in \(M^{2}\) with elements generated by a parallel unit vector field along \(\gamma \); \(\left( c\right) \) the base manifold embedded into \(TM^{2}\) by the zero vector field.
