 Ricci curvature of integral submanifolds of an $mathcal{S}$-space form Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 2007 Vol. 44, No. 3, 395-406 Printed September 1, 2007 Jeong-Sik Kim, Mohit Kumar Dwivedi, and Mukut Mani Tripathi Chonnam National University, Lucknow University, Lucknow University Abstract : Involving the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature, we obtain a basic inequality for an integral submanifold of an $\mathcal{S}$-space form. By polarization, we get a basic inequality for Ricci tensor also. Equality cases are also discussed. By giving a very simple proof we show that if an integral submanifold of maximum dimension of an $\mathcal{S}$-space form satisfies the equality case, then it must be minimal. These results are applied to get corresponding results for $C$-totally real submanifolds of a Sasakian space form and for totally real submanifolds of a complex space form. Keywords : $\mathcal{S}$-space form, integral submanifold, $C$-totally real submanifold, totally real submanifold, Lagrangian submanifold, Ricci curvature, $k$-Ricci curvature, scalar curvature.
