Abstract

We consider a complete biharmonic submanifold ϕ:(M,g)(N,h)\phi:(M,g)\rightarrow (N,h) in a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded from above by a non-negative constant cc. Assume that the mean curvature is bounded from below by c\sqrt c. If (i) M(H2c)pdvg<\int_M (|{\bf H}|^2-c)^{p}dv_g<\infty, for some 0<p<0<p<\infty, or (ii) the Ricci curvature of MM is bounded from below, then the mean curvature is c\sqrt c. Furthermore, if MM is compact, then we obtain the same result without the assumption (i) or (ii).
