    The Chern-Lashof inequality states that the total absolute curvature of a compact submanifold in the Euclidean space is bounded from below by the total Betti number. The author obtains an extension of Chern-Lashof's inequality to other spaces and is able to give many interesting applications. An extension of the Fenchel-Borsuk inequality to spheres and hyperbolic spaces is given among other applications.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0953.00035].
