Abstract
We study biharmonic submanifolds of the Euclidean sphere that satisfy certain geometric properties. We classify: (i) the biharmonic hypersurfaces with at most two distinct principal curvatures; (ii) the conformally flat biharmonic hypersurfaces. We obtain some rigidity results for pseudoumbilical biharmonic submanifolds of codimension 2 and for biharmonic surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector field. We also study the type, in the sense of B-Y. Chen, of compact proper biharmonic submanifolds with constant mean curvature in spheres.

Biharmonic hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds

TL;DR: In this article, the generalized Chen conjecture is proven to be true for totally umbilical biharmonic hypersurfaces in an Einstein space, and a 2-parameter family of conformally flat metrics and a 4-parameters family of multiply warped product metrics, each of which turns the foliation of an upper-half space of a Riemannian manifold by parallel hyperplanes into a foliation with each leaf a proper hypersurface.

Biharmonic submanifolds of \({\mathbb{C}P^n}\)

TL;DR: In this article, the relation between the bitension field of the inclusion of a submanifold and the Hopf-tube in a complex space form was studied and a new family of proper-biharmonic sub-manifolds of the complex projective space was given.

Biharmonic hypersurfaces in 4-dimensional space forms

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus their attention on bi-harmonic submanifolds such that the inclusion map is a biharmonic map, i.e. a non-minimal bi-harmonic map with constant sectional curvature.

Biharmonic submanifolds in spheres

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give some methods to construct examples of nonharmonic biharmonic submanifolds of the unitn-dimensional sphere, where the bi-harmonic equation is solved explicitly.
