Classification of umbilical submanifolds of Sn x R
Umbilical submanifolds; Substantial codimension; Classification; Product space
In this work, we present a classification of the arbitrary dimension and codimension umbilic submanifolds of Sn × R, based on the work of Bruno Mendonça and Ruy Tojeiro (2013). The classification that will be presented extends the classification of umbilical surfaces in S2 × R by Souam and Toubiana (2009), as well as the local description of umbilical hypersurfaces in Sn × R by Van der Veken and Vrancken (2008), to a codimension greater than one. In both works, the umbilical surfaces and the umbilical hypersurfaces are rotational. It will be shown that the submanifolds studied in this work are also rotational and we will present explicit parameterizations.
