Abstract
The Lefschetz theorem on hyperplane sections, as proved by Andreotti and Frankel (1), depends upon the following result.THEOREM. If M is a non-singular affine algebraic variety of real dimension 2k of complex n-space, thenThis theorem, which is interesting in itself, has been strengthened by Milnor (7), who showed that M has the homotopy type of a k-dimensional CW-complex.In this paper we generalize the above theorem in two directions. First, we replace complex n-space by some other complete simply connected Riemannian manifold which either has non-positive curvature or is a compact symmetric space. Secondly, we allow M and to be quasi-Kâhlerian (see below) instead of Kählerian.We first introduce some notation. Let M and be C∞ Riemannian manifolds with M isometrically immersed in . Denote by 〈, 〉 the metric tensor of either M or .
