$L^2$-harmonic $p$-forms on submanifolds with finite total curvature

Let $H^p(L^2(M))$ be the space of all $L^2$-harmonic $p$-forms $(2\leq p\leq n-2)$ on complete submanifolds $M$ with flat normal bundle in spheres. In this paper, we first show that $H^p(L^2(M))$ is trivial if the total curvature of $M$ is less than a positive constant depending only on $n$. Second, we show that the dimension of $H^p(L^2(M))$ is finite if the total curvature of $M$ is finite. The vanishing theorem is a generalized version of Gan-Zhu-Fang theorem and the finiteness theorem is an extension of Zhu-Fang theorem.
