Aug 28 at 13:54 comment added Jeffrey Case As written, $IV$ is not symmetric, but the other three are. My guess is that Schimming means $dt^i dt^j$ to mean the symmetric product, though, in which case symmetry is automatic. For the original question, $Q^{ij}(Q_{ij} + R_{ikj}^k) = \frac{1}{2}C_{\mu nn \nu}R^{\mu \nu}$. Let me know if you can't verify this (or the other part of the claim) on your own.

Aug 28 at 4:35 comment added Gordhob Brain Professor, Thanks so much for your help. I will check my computations again. By the way, R. Schimming claimed that all these fundamental forms are symmetric in indices i and j, but I could not check/verify it for the fourth fundamental form. Could you please take a look at this? Thank you again.
Aug 27 at 20:15 comment added Jeffrey Case There is a transcription error in your formula for $B_{nn}$ from Schimming's paper. The $R_{ij}$ is supposed to be $R_{ikj}^k$ (the contraction is only over intrinsic indices, not extrinsic ones). Can you complete the derivation with this observation?
