Abstract:

A simple geometric proof is given for the Hartman-Nirenberg cylindricity theorem and some generalizations. Then the following cylindricity theorem (unpublished) of S. Alexander is proved using the same idea. Theorem. Let $f:M \to {E^n}$ be an isometric Euclidean immersion of the Riemannian product $M = {M_1} \times \ldots \times {M_k} \times {E^m}$ where the ${M_i}$ are not everywhere flat Riemannian manifolds, and ${E^m}$ denotes Euclidean $m$-space. Then $C \geqslant k$, where $C$ denotes the codimension of the immersion; and if $C = k$, then the immersion is cylindrical on the Euclidean factor.
