초록

In this paper we study some nonpositively curved Riemannian manifolds acted on by a Lie group of isometries with principal orbits of codimension one. Among other results it is proved that if the universal covering manifold satisfies some conditions then every nonexceptional singular orbit is a totally geodesic submanifold. When M is flat and is not toruslike, it is proved that either each orbit is isometric to $R^k\timesT^m$or there is a singular orbit. If the singular orbit is unique and nonexceptional, then it is isometric to $R^k\timesT^m$.
