Abstract: For immersions of surfaces in Riemannian manifolds with pinched curvature we establish some generalizations of relations between the integral of the square of the norm of the mean curvature vector and the area of the surface with topological invariants, known for immersions into space forms. For immersions with codimension two into space forms of nonpositive curvature these leads to a nonexistence of minimal immersions with everywhere non-zero normal curvature tensor.
