Manifolds admitting taut hyperspheres

James J. Hebda

Vol. 97 (1981), No. 1, 119–124
Abstract

The definition of taut submanifolds in Euclidean space is extended to submanifolds of an arbitrary complete Riemannian manifold. Manifolds containing a tautly embedded hypersphere are characterized up to homeomorphism. Also, a partial result in this direction is proved for manifolds containing a tautly embedded sphere of arbitrary codimension.
