Extract
The aim of this paper is to make some remarks about the theory of parallel immersions in ℝn. We show that the existence of parallels to a curve in ℝn depends on the values of the integrals of the n − 1 curvature functions along the curve. We then give examples of immersions of S1 in ℝ3 and of immersions of codimension 2 with local parallel rank zero, thereby answering certain questions in [1].
