Abstract.

Our main theorem is a characterization of a totally geodesic Kähler immersion of a complex n-dimensional Kähler manifold M n into an arbitrary complex (n + p)-dimensional Kähler manifold \(\tilde{M}_{n+p}\) by observing the extrinsic shape of Kähler Frenet curves on the submanifold M n . Those curves are closely related to the complex structure of M n .
