Parallel submanifolds of complex space forms I

Abstract

Complete parallel submanifolds of a real space form of constant sectional curvature k have been completely classified by Ferus [3] when k ≧ 0, and by Takeuchi [19] when k < 0. A complex space form is by definition a 2n-dimensional simply connected Hermitian symmetric space of constant holomorphic sectional curvature c and will be denoted by (c).
