Abstract

In Euclidean geometry, for a real submanifold M in En+a, M is a piece of En if and only if its second fundamental form is identically zero. In projective geometry, for a complex submanifold M in ℂPn+a, M is a piece of ℂℚn if and only if its projective second fundamental form is identically zero. In CR geometry, we prove the CR analogue of this fact in this paper.
