Curvature Groups of a Hypersurface

چکیده
A cochain complex associated with the vector 1-form determined by the first and second fundamental tensors of a hypersurface M in E"+l is introduced. Its cohomology groups HP(M), called curvature groups, are isomorphic with the cohomology groups of M with coefficients in a subsheaf %R of the sheaf S of closed vector fields on M. If M is a minimal variety, the same conclusion is valid with S^ replaced by a sheaf of harmonic vector fields. If the Ricci tensor is nondegenerate the HP(M) vanish. If Sj, # 0, and there are no parallel vector fields, locally, the HP(M) are isomorphic with the corresponding de Rham groups.

Spacelike 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 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].

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
