Complete minimal hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space with vanishing Gauss-Kronecker curvature

We investigate 3-dimensional complete minimal hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space with Gauss-Kronecker curvature identically zero. More precisely, we give a classification of complete minimal hypersurfaces with Gauss-Kronecker curvature identically zero, a nowhere vanishing second fundamental form and a scalar curvature bounded from below.

     

Hypersurfaces of the hyperbolic space with constant scalar curvature

We classify hypersurfaces of the hyperbolic space ?ⁿ⁺¹(c) with constant scalar curvature and with two distinct principal curvatures. Moreover, we prove that if Mⁿ is a complete hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature n(n ? 1) R and with two distinct principal curvatures such that the multiplicity of one of the principal curvatures is n? 1, then R ≥ c. Additionally, we prove two rigidity theorems for such hypersurfaces.

A Maximum Principle at Infinity for Surfaces with Constant Mean Curvature in Euclidean Space

Maximum principles at infinity generalize Hopf's maximum principle for hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in R ⁿ . We establish such a maximum principle for parabolic surfaces in R³ with nonzero constant mean curvature and bounded Gaussian curvature.     

Hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature and constant mean curvature

Non-spherical hypersurfaces inE ⁴ with non-zero constant mean curvature and constant scalar curvature are the only hypersurfaces possessing the following property: Its position vector can be written as a sum of two non-constant maps, which are eigenmaps of the Laplacian operator with corresponding eigenvalues the zero and a non-zero constant.     

Rotational hypersurfaces of periodic mean curvature

In this paper we discuss rotational hypersurfaces in and more specifically rotational hypersurfaces with periodic mean curvature function. We show that, for a given real analytic function H(s) on , every rotational hypersurface M in with mean curvature H(s) can be extended infinitely in the sense that all coordinate functions of the generating curve of M are defined on all of as well. For rotational hypersurfaces with periodic mean curvature we present a criterion characterizing the periodicity of such hypersurfaces in terms of their mean curvature function. We also discuss a method to produce families of periodic rotational hypersurfaces where each member of the family has the same mean curvature function. In fact, given any closed planar curve with curvature κ, we prove that there is a family of periodic rotational hypersurfaces such that the mean curvature of each element of the family is explicitly determined by κ. Delaunay's famous result for surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature is included here as the case where n=3 and κ is constant.     

Hypersurfaces with constant inner curvature of the second fundamental form,and the non-rigidity of the sphere

We classify the hypersurfaces of revolution in euclidean space whose second fundamental form defines an abstract pseudo-Riemannian metric of constant sectional curvature. In particular we find such piecewise analytic hypersurfaces of classC ² where the second fundamental form defines a complete space of constant positive, zero, or negative curvature. Among them there are closed convex hypersurfaces distinct from spheres, in contrast to a theorem of R. Schneider (Proc. AMS 35, 230–233, (1972)) saying that such a hypersurface of classC ⁴ has to be a round sphere. In particular, the sphere is notII-rigid in the class of all convexC ²-hypersurfaces.     

Affine rotational surfaces with vanishing affine curvature

We give a classification of affine rotational surfaces in affine 3-space with vanishing affine Gauss-Kronecker curvature. Non-degenerated surfaces in three dimensional affine space with affine rotational symmetry have been studied by a number of authors (I.C. Lee. [3], P. Lehebel [4], P.A. Schirokow [10], B. Su [12], W. Süss [13]). In the present paper we study these surfaces with the additional property of vanishing affine Gauss-Kronecker curvature, that means the determinant of the affine shape operator is zero. We give a complete classification of these surfaces, which are the affine analogues to the cylinders and cones of rotation in euclidean geometry. These surfaces are examples of surfaces with diagonalizable rank one (affine) shape operator (cf. B. Opozda [8] and B. Opozda, T. Sasaki [7]). The affine normal images are curves.

A Bernstein type theorem in ? × ? n

In this paper, as suitable application of the so-called Omori-Yau generalized maximum principle, we obtain a Bernstein type theorem concerning to complete hypersurfaces immersed with constant mean curvature in the product space ℝ × ℍ ⁿ . Furthermore, we treat the case that such hypersurfaces are vertical graphs.

Spacelike Hypersurfaces with Constant Scalar Curvature in the Lorentz–Minkowski Space

We show that the only compact spacelike hypersurfaces in the Lorentz–Minkowski space Lⁿ⁺¹ having nonzero constant scalar curvature and spherical boundary are the hyperbolic caps (with negative constant scalar curvature). One key ingredient in our proof will be an integral formula for the n-dimensional volume enclosed by the boundary of a compact spacelike hypersurface, in the case where the boundary is contained in a hyperplane of Lⁿ⁺¹. As a direct application of that integral formula we also derive an interesting result for the volume of spacelike hypersurfaces.     

Conformally Flat Hypersurfaces of E4

We consider 3-dimensional conformally flat hypersurfaces of E ⁴ with 2 different principal curvatures such that the coordinate directions are principal directions. We describe explicitly those which allow an immersion with constant mean curvature. They are shown to be in close correspondence with solutions of the nonlinear integrable sine-Gordon and sinh-Gordon equations. Conversely, this provides a geometrical characterization for this particular class of conformally flat hypersurfaces of E ⁴.     

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

The purpose of this paper is to study compact or complete spacelike hypersurfaces with constant normalized scalar curvature in a locally symmetric Lorentz space satisfying some curvature conditions. We give an optimal estimate of the squared norm of the second fundamental form of such hypersurfaces. Furthermore, the totally umbilical hypersurfaces are characterized.     

Prescribed Mean Curvature Hypersurfaces in Hn+1(-1) with Convex Planar Boundary, I

We study immersed prescribed mean curvature compact hypersurfaces with boundary in Hⁿ⁺¹(-1). When the boundary is a convex planar smooth manifold with all principal curvatures greater than 1, we solve a nonparametric Dirichlet problem and use this, together with a general flux formula, to prove a parametric uniqueness result, in the class of all immersed compact hypersurfaces with the same boundary. We specialize this result to a constant mean curvature, obtaining a characterization of totally umbilic hypersurface caps.
