L2-harmonic p-forms on submanifolds with finite total curvature
-
Abstract
Let M be an n-dimensional complete submanifold with flat normal bundle in an (n+l)-dimensional sphere Sn+l. Let Hp(L2(M)) be the space of all L2-harmonic p-forms (2≤p≤n-2) on M. Firstly, we show that Hp(L2(M)) is trivial if the total curvature of M is less than a positive constant depending only on n. Secondly, we show that the dimension of Hp(L2(M)) is finite provided the total curvature of M is finite.
