Abstract

We study the geometric behavior of the normal bundle TM of a submanifold M of a Riemannian manifold M̃. We compute explicitely the second fundamental form of TM and look at the relation between the minimality of TM and M. Finally we show that the Maslov forms with respect to a suitable connection of the pair (TM, V(M̃)) are null.
