| In this paper, we discuss the square of the norm of the second foundmental form and the mean curvature of submanifolds in the Riemannian manifold Nn+p(c) with constant curvature. Besides, we study the submanifolds of Sn+p(1) with parallel mean curvature vector field and flat normal bundle, and obtain the following theorem:Main Theorem: Let Mn be a compact submanifold of Sn+p(1) with mean curvature vector field and flat normal bundle. If S < α(n,H), then Mn must be the umbilical hypersurface in Sn+1(1), whereOur theorem is a generalization of the rigidity theorem due to X. H. Mo[16]. |
