    The author discusses known theorems characterizing spherical cylinders \(S^k\times E^{n-k}\subset E^{n+p}\) among complete submanifolds by curvature conditions. The results are based on the generalized maximum principle of \textit{H. Omori} [Isometric immersions of Riemannian manifolds, J. Math. Soc. Japan 19, 201-214 (1967; Zbl 0154.21501)], and generalizations. The point is a wrong generalization by \textit{K. Motomiya} [Nagoya Math. J. 81, 57-72 (1981; Zbl 0468.53032)]. The author gives new proofs of several theorems avoiding Motomiya's result.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0960.00049].
