On the Weyl and Willmore Functionals for Submanifolds in a Warped Product
摘要
An inequality between the Willmore and Weyl functionals on compact submanifolds immersed in a Riemannian warped product is obtained. Furthermore, we characterize when the equality occurs. In this case, either the submanifold is totally umbilical, or it has two distinct principal curvatures with the same multiplicity, being conformal to a Riemannian product of two manifolds.
