"Totally Geodesic Immersions"
Given
an
isometric
immersion,
we
will
study
further
how
the
second
fundamental
form
allows
the
geometry
in
the
ambient
space
to
be
decomposed
into
geometry
on
the
tangent
and
normal
bundles.
In
particular,
we'll
discuss
the
Gauss-Codazzi
equations.
In
the
second
part
of
the
talk,
we
will
look
at
totally
geodesic
immersions
and
some
of
their
properties.
