Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Let M be a simply connected complete K?hler manifold and N a closed complete totally geodesic complex submanifold of M such that every minimal geodesic in N is minimal in M. Let U? be the unit normal bundle of N in M. We prove that if a distance function ? is differentiable at v ? U?, then ? is also differentiable at -v.
