In this paper, we define a totally umbilic hypersurface of first order and show that a totally umbilic hypersurface of first order in an Einstein manifold has a parallel second fundamental form. Furthermore we prove that a complete, simply connected and totally umbilic hypersurface of first order in a space of constant curvature is a Riemannian product of Einstein manifolds. Finally we show a proper example which is a totally umbilic hypersurface of first order but not a totally umbilic hypersurface.

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 $E^m$.

In this paper we show that spheres in $E^3{\subset}L^n$ and pseudohyperbolic spaces in $L^3{\subset}L^n$ are the only totally umbilic spacelike surfaces of type (I) in $L^n$.

In this article, we show that if a semi-Riemannian space form carries a conformal vector field V of which the tangential part $V^T$ on a connected hypersurface $M^N$ ecomes a conformal vector field and the normal part $V^N on $M^N$ does not vanish identically, then $M^N$ is totally umbilic. Furthermore, we give a complete description of conformal vector fields on semi-Riemannian space forms.

Define $\bar{g}{\upsilon, \omega) = -\upsilon_1\omega_1 + \cdots + \upsilon_n\omega_n$ for $\upsilon, \omega in R^n$. $R^n$ together with this metric is called the Lorentzian n-space, denoted by $L^n$, and $R^n$ together with the Euclidean metric is called the Euclidean n-space, denoted by $E^n$. A Lorentzian surface in $L^n$ means an orientable connected 2-dimensional Lorentzian submanifold of $L^n$ equipped with the induced Lorentzian metrix g from $\bar{g}$.

In this paper, we study the geometry of lightlike real hyper-surfaces of an indefinite Kaehler manifold. The main result is a characterization theorem for lightlike real hypersurfaces M of an indefinite complex space form $\bar{M}(c)$ such that the screen distribution is totally umbilic.

The object of the present paper is to study a decomposable $(APS)_n$ and hypersurfaces of $(APS)_n$. Also, the existence of a decomposable $(APS)_n$ is ensured by a proper example.

We prove that totally umbilical submanifold M of an extended quasi-recurren manifold is also extended quasi-recurrent. If, moreover, M is conformally flat then, locally, M is isometric to the manifold with known metric. Some curvature properties of such submanifold are investigated. Making use of these results we shall prove the existence of totally umbilical submanifold being pseudosymmetric in the sense of Ryszard Deszcz and satisfying some other curvature conditions.

We study the geometry of half light like submanifold M of a semi-Riemannian space form $\bar{M}$(c) subject to the conditions : (a) the screen distribution on M is totally umbilic in M and the coscreen distribution on M is conformal Killing on $\bar{M}$ or (b) the screen distribution is totally geodesic in M and M is irrotational.
