The reduction conjecture for Wintgen ideal submanifolds
The reduction conjecture for Wintgen ideal submanifolds
Let be a Wintgen ideal submanifold without umbilic points. Let be its canonical distribution, and suppose that it generates an integrable distribution of dimension . Reduction conjecture. Locally, is Möbius equivalent to a cone, a cylinder, or a rotational submanifold over a -dimensional minimal Wintgen ideal submanifold in, respectively, , , or . This has been proved for and for ; the general case remains open.
