Abstract:
The authors study the regular submanifolds in the conformal space ?pn and introduce the submanifold theory in the conformal space ?pn. The first variation formula of the Willmore volume functional of pseudo-Riemannian submanifolds in the conformal space ?pn is given. Finally, the conformal isotropic submanifolds in the conformal space ?pn are classified.
