The length of the second fundamental form, a tangency principle and applications
In this paper we prove a tangency principle (see Fontenele and Silva 2001) related with the length of the second fundamental form, for hypersurfaces of an arbitrary ambient space. As geometric applications, we make radius estimates of the balls that lie in some component of the complementary of a co...
