摘要

Warped products are one of the simplest families of Riemannian manifolds that can have non-trivial geometries. In this article, we characterize the geometry of hypersurface embeddings arising from warped product manifolds using the language of higher (Riemannian) fundamental forms. In a similar vein, we also study the geometry of conformal manifolds with embedded hypersurfaces that admits a trivialization of the conformal metric to a product metric, with base manifold given by the embedded hypersurface. We show that the higher conformal fundamental forms play a critical role in their characterization.
