Abstract: Let $M^m$ be a totally real submanifold of a nearly Kähler manifold $\bar M^{2m}$. We prove an important relationship between the covariant differential of the second fundamental form of $M^m$ and that of the almost complex structure of $\bar M^{2m}$. And we show an application to the pinching problem on the square of the length of the second fundamental form of $M^m$.

Keywords: Nearly Kähler manifold; Totally real submanifold.

Classification (MSC2000): 53C42.; 32v40.
