In this article, we study ruled submanifolds with nonde-generate rulings in a Lorentzian space-time, which have finite type immersion. We give a condition for k-finite type submanifolds to be of finite type.

The study of Euclidean submanifolds with finite type "classical" Gauss map was initiated by B.-Y. Chen and P. Piccinni in [11]. On the other hand, it was believed that for spherical sub manifolds the concept of spherical Gauss map is more relevant than the classical one (see [20]). Thus the purpose of this article is to initiate the study of spherical submanifolds with finite type spherical Gauss map. We obtain several fundamental results in this respect. In particular, spherical submanifolds with 1-type spherical Gauss map are classified. From which we conclude that all isoparametric hypersurfaces of $S^{n+1}$ have 1-type spherical Gauss map. Among others, we also prove that Veronese surface and equilateral minimal torus are the only minimal spherical surfaces with 2-type spherical Gauss map.

We study low type submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean space which is especially of 2-type pseudo-umbilical. We also determine full null 2-type surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector in 4-dimensional Minkowski space-time.

It is well-known that a null 2-type surface in 3-dimensional Euclidean space $E^#$ is an open portion of circular cylinder. In this article we prove that a surface with 2-type and 1-type Gauss map in $E^3$ is in fact of null 2-type and thus it is an open portion of circular cylinder.

A totally umbilic submanifold of a pseudo-Riemanian manifold is a submanifold whose first fundamental form and second fundamental form are proportiona. An ordinary hypersphere $S^n(r)$ of an affine (n + 1)-space of the Euclidean space $E^m$ is the best known example of totally umbilic submanifolds of $E^m$.

Let $M^n$ be a complete immersed super stable minimal submanifold in $\mathbb{R}^{n+p}$ with fiat normal bundle. We prove that if M has finite total $L^2$ norm of its second fundamental form, then M is an affine n-plane. We also prove that any complete immersed super stable minimal submanifold with flat normal bundle has only one end.

Ruled submanifolds in Euclidean space satisfying some algebraic equations concerning the Laplace operator related to the isometric immersion and Gauss map are studied. Cylinders over a finite type curve or generalized helicoids are characterized with such algebraic equations.
