Abstract

Abstract In this paper we prove two sharp inequalities that relate the normalized scalar curvature with the Casorati curvature for a slant submanifold in a quaternionic space form. Moreover, we show that in both cases, the equality at all points characterizes the invariantly quasi-umbilical submanifolds.

Highlights

  • In a seminal paper published in the early s, Chen [ ] established a sharp inequality for a submanifold in a real space form using the scalar curvature and the sectional curvature, both being intrinsic invariants, and squared mean curvature, the main extrinsic invariant, initiating the theory of δ-invariants or the so-called Chen invariants; this turned out to be one of the most interesting modern research topic in differential geometry of submanifolds

  • We note that some interesting inequalities for the length of the second fundamental form of the warped product submanifolds were obtained recently in [ – ]

  • The Casorati curvature of a submanifold in a Riemannian manifold is an extrinsic invariant defined as the normalized square of the length of the second fundamental form

Summary

Introduction

In a seminal paper published in the early s, Chen [ ] established a sharp inequality for a submanifold in a real space form using the scalar curvature and the sectional curvature, both being intrinsic invariants, and squared mean curvature, the main extrinsic invariant, initiating the theory of δ-invariants or the so-called Chen invariants; this turned out to be one of the most interesting modern research topic in differential geometry of submanifolds. The Casorati curvature of a submanifold in a Riemannian manifold is an extrinsic invariant defined as the normalized square of the length of the second fundamental form.
