Chen Inequalities for Isotropic Submanifolds in Pseudo-Riemannian Space Forms

Chen Inequalities for Isotropic Submanifolds in Pseudo-Riemannian Space Forms

The class of isotropic submanifolds in pseudo-Riemannian manifolds is a distinguished family of submanifolds; they have been studied by several authors. In this article we establish Chen inequalities for isotropic immersions. An example of an isotropic immersion for which the equality case in the Chen first inequality holds is given.
