Curvature Groups of a Hypersurface
1976
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society
A cochain complex associated with the vector 1-form determined by the first and second fundamental tensors of a hypersurface M in E"+l is introduced. Its cohomology groups HP(M), called curvature groups, are isomorphic with the cohomology groups of M with coefficients in a subsheaf %R of the sheaf S of closed vector fields on M. If M is a minimal variety, the same conclusion is valid with S^ replaced by a sheaf of harmonic vector fields. If the Ricci tensor is nondegenerate the HP(M) vanish. If
