Tóm tắt

Submanifolds of Em with pointwise planar normal sections were studied in [1] and others. In the present paper, we will prove that an isotropic submanifold in Em with pointwise planar normal sections is isometric to a symmetric space of rank one or to a Euclidean space. Moreover we will determine such surfaces in Em with the above assumptions.
