First we define the notion of k-Ricci curvature of a Riemannian n-manifold. Then we establish sharp relations between the k-Ricci curvature and the shape operator and also between the k-Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature for a submanifold in a Riemannian space form with arbitrary codimension. Several applications of such relationships are also presented.
