Hypersurfaces of Constant Curvature in Space Forms
نویسنده
چکیده
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 Gaussian curvature K. The linearized equation for H is always elliptic and for K it is elliptic when the constant K is positive. In hyperbolic 3-space, the constant K > −1 yields an elliptic equation. Hypersurfaces of constant scalar curvature S2 will be elliptic when S2 > 0. We obtain height estimates for compact embedded hypersurfaces of m+1 whose r + 1’st symmetric function of curvature, Sr+1, is a positive constant (§6.1.): Given such a hypersurface M , with ∂M contained in a hyperplane P , then the maximum distance of a point of M to P is

Linear Weingarten hypersurfaces in a unit sphere
In this paper, by modifying Cheng-Yau$'$s technique to complete hypersurfaces in $S^{n+1}(1)$, we prove a rigidity theorem under the hypothesis of the mean curvature and the normalized scalar curvature being linearly related which improve the result of [H. Li, Hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in space forms, {em Math. Ann.} {305} (1996), 665--672].

We study connected orientable spacelike hypersurfaces $x:M^{n}rightarrowM_q^{n+1}(c)$, isometrically immersed into the Riemannian or Lorentzian space form of curvature $c=-1,0,1$, and index $q=0,1$, satisfying the condition $~L_kx=Ax+b$,~ where $L_k$ is the $textit{linearized operator}$ of the $(k+1)$-th mean curvature $H_{k+1}$ of the hypersurface for a fixed integer $0leq k
متن کاملSpacelike hypersurfaces with constant $S$ or $K$ in de Sitter space or anti-de Sitter space
Let $M^n$ be an $n(ngeq 3)$-dimensional complete connected and oriented spacelike hypersurface in a de Sitter space or an anti-de Sitter space, $S$ and $K$ be the squared norm of the second fundamental form and Gauss-Kronecker curvature of $M^n$. If $S$ or $K$ is constant, nonzero and $M^n$ has two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple, we obtain some charact...
متن کامل$L_k$-biharmonic spacelike hypersurfaces in Minkowski $4$-space $mathbb{E}_1^4$
Biharmonic surfaces in Euclidean space $mathbb{E}^3$ are firstly studied from a differential geometric point of view by Bang-Yen Chen, who showed that the only biharmonic surfaces are minimal ones. A surface $x : M^2rightarrowmathbb{E}^{3}$ is called biharmonic if $Delta^2x=0$, where $Delta$ is the Laplace operator of $M^2$. We study the $L_k$-biharmonic spacelike hypersurfaces in the $4$-dimen...

Let M^2n be a hoph hypersurfaces with parallel ricci operator and tangent to structure vector field in Sasakian space form. First, we show that structures and properties of hypersurfaces and hoph hypersurfaces in Sasakian space form. Then we study the structure of hypersurfaces and hoph hypersurfaces with a parallel ricci tensor structure and show that there are two cases. In the first case, th...
