Pincement des sous-varietes extrinsequement homogenes dans un espace euclidien

Abstract

Consider a closed manifold $M$ immersed in $\R^m.$ Suppose that the trivial bundle $M\times\R^m=TM\otimes νM$ is equipped with an almost metric connection $\tilde{\nabla}$ which almost preserves the decomposition of $M\times\R^m$ into the tangent and the normal bundle. Assume moreover that the difference $Γ=\partial-\tilde{\nabla}$ with the usual derivative $\partial$ in $\R^m$ is almost $\tilde{\nabla}$-parallel. We show that under these assumptions $M$ admits an extrinsically homogeneous immersion into $\R^m.$
