The aim of this paper is to deal with the submanifolds immersed into the space form with constant curvature and obtain the following results:1. For the compact submanifolds of the standard Euclidean sphere, we shall give a Simons-type inequality involving the squared norm S of the second fundamental form h of Mn in terms of the first nonzero eigenvalueλ1 of the Laplacian of Mn. Furthermore, if, in addition, S is a constant, we give the lower bound for S.2. For the compact submanifolds of the Euclidean space, we shall prove the non-existence of stable currents for certain classes of them. For hypersurfaces, we prove the non-existence theorems under the assumptions about the principal curvature, sectional curvature or the square length of the second fundamental form respectively. For high-codimension, we also prove that there are no stable currents in submanifolds of the Euclidean space when the square length of the second fundamental form satisfies a pinching condition. As a result, such submanifolds are homeomorphic to the Euclidean sphere.3. For the submanifolds of the hyperbolic space, we consider the hypersurfaces with non-positive Ricci curvature and give a lower bound for the square length of the second fundamental form of the hypersurfaces. Further, we obtain an upper bound for the product of the principal curvatures of the hypersurfaces.
