A splitting theorem for higher order parallel immersions

Differential Geometry 2012-07-02 v1

Abstract

We consider isometric immersions into space forms having the second fundamental form parallel at order k. We show that this class of immersions consists of local products, in a suitably defined sense, of parallel immersions and normally flat immersions of flat spaces.
