Abstract: xi-submanifold in the Euclidean space is a natural extension of the concept of self-shrinker to the mean curvature flow in . It is also a generalization of the lambda-hypersurface defined by Q.-M. Cheng et al to arbitrary codimensions. In this paper, some characterizations for xi-submanifolds are established. First, it is shown that a submanifold in is a xi-submanifold if and only if its modified mean curvature is parallel when viewed as a submanifold in the Gaussian space ; Then, two weighted volume functionals Vxi and are introduced and it is proved that xi-submanifolds can be characterized as the critical points of these two functionals; Also, the corresponding second variation formulas are computed and the (W-)stability properties for xi-submanifolds are systematically studied. In particular, it is proved that m-planes are the only properly immersed, complete W-stable xi-submanifolds with flat normal bundle under a technical condition. It would be interesting if this additional restriction could be removed.
