Let Md and be Riemannian manifolds. We shall say that an isometric immersion ϕ: Md —> is isotropic provided that all its normal curvature vectors have the same length. The class of such immersions is closed under compositions and Cartesian products. Umbilic immersions (e.g. Sd ⊂ Rd+1) are isotropic, but the converse does not hold. If M and are Kähler manifolds of constant holomorphic curvature, then any Kähler immersion of M in is automatically isotropic (Lemma 6). We shall find the smallest co-dimension for which there exist non-trivial immersions of this type, and obtain similar results in the real constant-curvature case.
