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 $E^m$.

We prove that totally umbilical submanifold M of an extended quasi-recurren manifold is also extended quasi-recurrent. If, moreover, M is conformally flat then, locally, M is isometric to the manifold with known metric. Some curvature properties of such submanifold are investigated. Making use of these results we shall prove the existence of totally umbilical submanifold being pseudosymmetric in the sense of Ryszard Deszcz and satisfying some other curvature conditions.

Define $\bar{g}{\upsilon, \omega) = -\upsilon_1\omega_1 + \cdots + \upsilon_n\omega_n$ for $\upsilon, \omega in R^n$. $R^n$ together with this metric is called the Lorentzian n-space, denoted by $L^n$, and $R^n$ together with the Euclidean metric is called the Euclidean n-space, denoted by $E^n$. A Lorentzian surface in $L^n$ means an orientable connected 2-dimensional Lorentzian submanifold of $L^n$ equipped with the induced Lorentzian metrix g from $\bar{g}$.

We study the geometry of half light like submanifold M of a semi-Riemannian space form $\bar{M}$(c) subject to the conditions : (a) the screen distribution on M is totally umbilic in M and the coscreen distribution on M is conformal Killing on $\bar{M}$ or (b) the screen distribution is totally geodesic in M and M is irrotational.
