Constant Scalar Curvature Hypersurfaces in the Extended Schwarzschild Space-time

In this paper we study the spherically symmetric CSC hypersurfaces of the extended Schwarzschild space-time. Especially, we analyse the embedding equation and we find the family of solutions or slices that results varying a parameter c, for fixed CSC parameter a and fixed time-translation parameter t0. The parameter c represents the amount of variation of volume of the 3-geometry during the ‘ti...

Hypersurfaces with Constant Scalar Curvature

Let M be a complete two-dimensional surface immersed into the three-dimensional Euclidean space. Then a classical theorem of Hilbert says that when the curvature of M is a non-zero constant, M must be the sphere. On the other hand, when the curvature of M is zero, a theorem of Har tman-Nirenberg [4] says that M must be a plane or a cylinder. These two theorems complete the classification of com...

Hypersurfaces with Constant Scalar Curvature in a Hyperbolic Space Form

Let M be a complete hypersurface with constant normalized scalar curvature R in a hyperbolic space form H. We prove that if R̄ = R + 1 ≥ 0 and the norm square |h| of the second fundamental form of M satisfies nR̄ ≤ sup |h| ≤ n (n− 2)(nR̄− 2) [n(n− 1)R̄ − 4(n− 1)R̄ + n], then either sup |h| = nR̄ and M is a totally umbilical hypersurface; or sup |h| = n (n− 2)(nR̄− 2) [n(n− 1)R̄ − 4(n− 1)R̄ + n], and M i...

Hypersurfaces of Constant Curvature in Space Forms

In this paper we shall discuss hypersurfaces M of space forms of constant curvature; where curvature means one of the symmetric functions of curvature associated to the second fundamental form. The values of the constant will be chosen so that the linearized equation will be an elliptic equation onM . For example, for surfaces in 3 the two possible curvatures are the mean curvature H and the Ga...
