Umbilical hypersurfaces of Minkowski spaces

چکیده
In this paper, by the Gauss equation of the induced Chern connection for Finsler submanifolds, we prove that if M is an umbilical hypersurface of a Minkowski space (V , F ), then either M is a Riemannian space form or a locally Minkowski space. AMS subject classifications: 53C60, 53C40

$L_k$-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...

In this paper we study curvature properties of semi - symmetric type of totally umbilical radical transversal lightlike hypersurfaces $(M,g)$ and $(M,widetilde g)$ of a K"ahler-Norden manifold $(overline M,overline J,overline g,overline { widetilde g})$ of constant totally real sectional curvatures $overline nu$ and $overline {widetilde nu}$ ($g$ and $widetilde g$ are the induced metrics on $M$...
متن کاملS ep 2 01 4 MINKOWSKI FORMULAE AND ALEXANDROV THEOREMS IN SPACETIME
The classical Minkowski formula is extended to spacelike codimension-two submanifolds in spacetimes which admit “hidden symmetry” from conformal KillingYano two-forms. As an application, we obtain an Alexandrov type theorem for spacelike codimension-two submanifolds in a static spherically symmetric spacetime: a codimensiontwo submanifold with constant normalized null expansion (null mean curva...
متن کاملA Bernstein theorem for complete spacelike constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Minkowski space
We obtain a gradient estimate for the Gauss maps from complete spacelike constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Minkowski space into the hyperbolic space. As applications, we prove a Bernstein theorem which says that if the image of the Gauss map is bounded from one side, then the spacelike constant mean curvature hypersurface must be linear. This result extends the previous theorems obtained...
