Submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces satisfying the condition Δx=Ax+B

In this paper we study pseudo-Riemannian submanifolds in ℝ _n ^+k/t satisfying the condition Δx=Ax+B, whereA is an endomorphism of ℝ _n ^+k/t andB is a constant vector in ℝ _n ^+k/t . We give a characterization theorem whenA is a self-adjoint endomorphism. As for hypersurfaces we are able to obtain a classification theorem for any endomorphismA.
