Abstract

We consider submanifolds of non-isotropic planes of the Grassman manifold of the pseudo-Euclidean space. We prove a theorem about the unboundedness of the sectional curvature of the submanifolds of the two-dimensional non-isotropic planes of the four-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space with the help of immersion in the six-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space of index 3. We also introduce a concept of the indicatrix of normal curvature and study the properties of this indicatrix and the Grassman image of the non-isotropic surface of the pseudo-Euclidean space. We find a connection between the curvature of the Grassman image and the intrinsic geometry of the plane. We suggest the classification of the points of the Grassman image.
