On spacelike hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in locally symmetric Lorentz spaces

Compact Space-like Hypersurfaces with Constant Scalar Curvature in Locally Symmetric Lorentz Spaces

Let Nn+p p be an (n + p)-dimensional connected semi-Riemannian manifold of index p. It is called a semi-definite space of index p. When we refer to index p, we mean that there are only p negative eigenvalues of semi-Riemannian metric of Nn+p p and the other eigenvalues are positive. In particular, Nn+1 1 is called a Lorentz space when p = 1. When the Lorentz space Nn+1 1 is of constant curvatur...

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...

A sharp height estimate for compact spacelike hypersurfaces with constant r-mean curvature in the Lorentz–Minkowski space and application

In this paper we obtain a sharp height estimate concerning compact spacelike hypersurfaces Σn immersed in the (n + 1)dimensional Lorentz–Minkowski space Ln+1 with some nonzero constant r-mean curvature, and whose boundary is contained into a spacelike hyperplane of Ln+1. Furthermore, we apply our estimate to describe the nature of the end of a complete spacelike hypersurface of Ln+1. © 2007 Els...
