PROOF OF THE THEOREM<br />
(2.10)<br />
Let M be an n-dimensional compact totally real maximal<br />
spacelike submanifold isometrically immersed in<br />
n+ p<br />
M () c . For each α let Hα denote the symmetric<br />
p<br />
matrix ( hij ) α and let<br />
S h h<br />
α β<br />
αβ ij ij<br />
ij<br />
= ∑<br />
. Then the<br />
(n+2p)×(n+2p)-matrix ( Sαβ ) is symmetric and can be<br />
assumed to be diagonal for a suitable choice of<br />
e ,..., e .<br />
S = S<br />

By the well known theorem of Hopf (1950), ∆ S = 0 .<br />

Thus either S=0 implying M is totally geodesic or<br />
( 1− n)( n+ 2p)<br />
S ≤ c.<br />

This proves our theorem.<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
In this paper we studied the geometry of an n-dimensional<br />
compact totally real maximal spacelike submanifold M<br />
n+ p<br />
immersed in an indefinite complex space form M p () c<br />
by computing the square of the length of the second<br />
fundamental form. In conclusion, we have shown that<br />
either the square of the length of second fundamental<br />
form S=0, implying M is totally geodesic for<br />
c≥ 0, n><br />
1 or<br />
(1 − n)( n+ 2 p)<br />
S ≤ c for c< 0, n><br />
