Cover Story: One of the fundamental problems in submanifold theory is the establishment of optimal relationships between intrinsic and extrinsic submanifold invariants. In order to establish such relationships, the notion of δ-invariants for Riemannian manifolds, which are different from classical curvature invariants, were introduced by the first author in the 1990s. Earlier research on δ-invariants and their applications have been summarized in the first author’s book, published in 2011, titled “Pseudo-Riemannian Geometry, δ-Invariants and Applications” (ISBN: 978-981-4329-63-7). In this survey, we present a comprehensive account of the development of the differential geometry of submanifolds in complex space forms involving δ-invariants since the publication of that book.
