The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to the theory of various differential geometric structures on manifolds and to gather and arrange the results on submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds with certain structures.

"Tight and taut submanifolds form an important class of manifolds with special curvature properties, one that has been studied intensively by differential geometers since the 1950s. They are in some ways the simplest figures after convex bodies: for example, tight manifolds in E…
This volume is a collection of papers on the geometry and topology of submanifolds, presented at two international meetings held in 1999 in honour of Professor Shiing-shen Chern.
