| At first, we obtain an intrinsic inequality of the Ricci curvature tensor and scalar curvature for the spacelike submanifolds Mn in the de Sitter space Spn+p(c). In this way, we generalize a result for hypersurfaces due to H-D Pang, S-L Xu and D Shu [9] as followsTheorem1Let Mn be a spacelike submanifold immersed in the de Sitter space Spn+p(c). Denoted the Ricci curvature tensor and the scalar curvature of Mn by Ric and R respectively, we have the equality holds if and only if Mn is an Einstein manifold with constant scalar curvature cn(n—1).Secondly, we discuss the Yang-Mills fields of submanifolds in the sphere Sn+P. we obtain a theorem about the flat Yang-Mills connection over Mn.Theorem2let Mn be an n-dimensional compact submanifold in the sphere Sn+P and R▽be the Yang-Mills fields. We denote the mean curvature, the square length of the second fundamental form and the square length of the second funda-mental form in the mean curvature direction by H,σ,σH respectively, and we set φ=σ+{(σ-nH2)(σ-(3n-2)H2+2(n-2)|H|(σH-nH2)1/2+(n-2)2H2(σH-nH2)+n(n-1)2H4}1/2.If the Lp-norm of φ satisfies then R▽=0, where a=supM{R▽|,k1and k2are the constants in sobolev lemma (see Lemma1, p.6). |
