Minimal immersions of Riemannian manifolds in products of space forms. (English) Zbl 1305.53064

Summary: In this paper, we give natural extensions to cylinders and tori of a classical result due to T. Takahashi [J. Math. Soc. Japan 18, 380–385 (1966; Zbl 0145.18601)] about minimal immersions into spheres. More precisely, we deal with Euclidean isometric immersions whose projections in \(\mathbb R^N\) satisfy a spectral condition of their Laplacian.
