چکیده
In this paper, we consider minimal hypersurfaces in the product space Hn×R. We study the relation between the notions of finite total curvature and index of the stability operator. We study examples of rotation hypersurfaces and hypersurfaces invariant under hyperbolic translations; they serve as counterexamples and are useful barriers for many geometric problems.1

Minimal hypersurfaces in H × R, total curvature and index
In this paper, we consider minimal hypersurfaces in the product space Hn × R. We begin by studying examples of rotation hypersurfaces and hypersurfaces invariant under hyperbolic translations. We then consider minimal hypersurfaces with finite total curvature. This assumption implies that the corresponding curvature goes to zero uniformly at infinity. We show that surfaces with finite total int...
متن کاملLinear 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].
متن کاملA ug 2 00 7 Stability properties for the higher dimensional
This paper concerns some stability properties of higher dimensional catenoids in Rn+1 with n ≥ 3. We prove that higher dimensional catenoids have index one. We use δ-stablity for minimal hypersurfaces and show that the catenoid is 2 n -stable and a complete 2 n -stable minimal hypersurface is a catenoid or a hyperplane provided the second fundamental form satisfies some decay conditions.
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 کاملThe structure of stable constant mean curvature hypersufaces
We study the global behavior of (weakly) stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in general Riemannian manifolds. By using harmonic function theory, we prove some one-end theorems which are new even for constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in space forms. In particular, a complete oriented weakly stable minimal hypersurface in Rn+1, n ≥ 3, must have only one end. Any complete noncompact w...
