The DDVV conjecture for submanifolds of space forms
The DDVV conjecture for submanifolds of space forms
Let be an immersed submanifold of the space form , with scalar curvature , normal scalar curvature , and mean curvature tensor , where is the second fundamental form. DDVV conjecture. One has
This is also called the normal scalar curvature conjecture. It is a central pointwise inequality in submanifold geometry and is equivalent to a matrix inequality for the coefficients of the second fundamental form. The supplied text does not state whether it had been resolved.
