Let (⃗n 1 ,··· ,⃗n m−2 ) be an orthonormal basis for the metric g of<br />

the normal space to ⃗ Φ ∗ (T p Σ n ). Combining the expression of the<br />

mean curvature vector (X.20) together with (X.32) we obtain<br />

the following expression of the mean curvature vector ⃗ H g of the<br />

immersion ⃗ Φ into (M m ,g) :<br />

Hence<br />
