Abstract:
This article develops methods for studying the topology of submanifolds of constant positive curvature in Euclidean space. It proves that if is an -dimensional compact connected Riemannian submanifold of constant positive curvature in , then must be simply connected. It also gives a conformal version of this theorem.
