Abstract
A totally umbilic submanifold of a pseudo-Riemanian manifold is a submanifold whose first fundamental form and second fundamental form are proportiona. An ordinary hypersphere $S^n(r)$ of an affine (n + 1)-space of the Euclidean space $E^m$ is the best known example of totally umbilic submanifolds of $E^m$.
