Abstract

In this paper we define the contact number of a pseudo-Riemannian submanifold into the pseudo-Euclidean space, and prove that this contact number is closely related to the notion of pseudo-isotropic submanifold. We give a classification of hypersurfaces into the pseudo-Euclidean space with contact number at least 3. A classification of the complete spacelike codimension-2 submanifolds of the Lorentz-Minkowski space with contact number at least 3 is also obtained.
