The Riemannian product structures of spacelike hypersurfaces with constant k-th mean curvature in the de Sitter spaces

In this paper, we investigate complete spacelike hypersurfaces in the de Sitter space with constant k-th mean curvature and two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple. We obtain some characterizations of the Riemannian product H¹(c₁)×Sn−1(c₂) or Hn−1(c₁)×S¹(c₂) in the de Sitter space .     

Complete spacelike hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in anti-de Sitter space

In this paper, we investigate the complete spacelike hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and two distinct principal curvatures in an anti-de Sitter space. We give a characterization of hyperbolic cylinder and prove the conjecture in a paper by L. F. Cao and G. X. Wei [J. Math. Anal. Appl., 2007, 329(1): 408–414].     

On spacelike hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in the de Sitter space

We classify spacelike hypersurfaces of the de Sitter space with constant scalar curvature and with two principal curvatures. Moreover, we prove that if Mn is a complete spacelike hypersurface 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<(n−2)c/n. Additionally, we prove several rigidity theorems for such hypersurfaces.     

Complete hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and finite L p norm curvature in Euclidean spaces

In this paper, we consider complete hypersurfaces in R ⁿ⁺¹ with constant mean curvature H and prove that M ⁿ is a hyperplane if the L ² norm curvature of M ⁿ satisfies some growth condition and M ⁿ is stable. It is an improvement of a theorem proved by H. Alencar and M. do Carmo in 1994. In addition, we obtain that M ⁿ is a hyperplane (or a round sphere) under the condition that M ⁿ is strongly stable (or weakly stable) and has some finite L ^p norm curvature.

Integral formulas for compact spaceliken-submanifolds in de Sitter spaces applications to the parallel mean curvature vector case

We introduce a new method to study compact spaceliken-submanifolds in de Sitter spacesS _q ^n+q by means of certain integral formulas which have a very clear geometric meaning. As a first application of them we obtain a Bernstein type result for complete maximal submanifolds inS _q ^n+q . As for surfaces, we also get a uniqueness result for compact spacelike surfaces inS _q ^2+q with parallel mean curvature vector field.

Equiaffine geometry of level sets and ruled hypersurfaces with equiaffine mean curvature zero

Basic aspects of the equiaffine geometry of level sets are developed systematically. As an application there are constructed families of 2n‐dimensional nondegenerate hypersurfaces ruled by n‐planes, having equiaffine mean curvature zero, and solving the affine normal flow. Each carries a symplectic structure with respect to which the ruling is Lagrangian.     

Stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces

Let be a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvatures uniformly bounded from below. When we prove that there are no complete (strongly) stable -hypersurfaces, without boundary, provided is large enough. In particular, we prove that there are no complete strongly stable -hypersurfaces in without boundary,

     

On extrinsic symmetric spaces with zero mean curvature in Minkowski space-time

For an extrinsic symmetric space M in Minkowski space-time, we prove that if M is spacelike with zero mean curvature, then it is totally geodesic and if M is timelike with zero mean curvature, then it is totally geodesic or it is a flat hypersurface.     

An application of maximum principle to space-like hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in anti-de Sitter space

In this paper, we study complete hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in anti-de Sitter space ${H^{n+1}_1(-1)}$ . we prove that if a complete space-like hypersurface with constant mean curvature ${x:\mathbf M\rightarrow H^{n+1}_1(-1) }$ has two distinct principal curvatures ??, ??, and inf|?? ? ??|?>?0, then x is the standard embedding ${ H^{m} (-\frac{1}{r^2})\times H^{n-m} ( -\frac{1}{1 - r^2} )}$ in anti-de Sitter space ${ H^{n+1}_1 (-1) }$ .     

Starshaped hypersurfaces and the mean curvature flow

Under the assumption of two a-priori bounds for the mean curvature, we are able to generalize a recent result due to Huisken and Sinestrari [8], valid for mean convex surfaces, to a much larger class. In particular we will demonstrate that these a-priori bounds are satisfied for a class of surfaces including meanconvex as well as starshaped surfaces and a variety of manifolds that are close to them. This gives a classification of the possible singularities for these surfaces in the casen=2. In addition we prove that under certain initial conditions some of them become mean convex before the first singularity occurs.     

Weakly stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces

Let M^n be an n-dimensional complete noncompact oriented weakly stable constant mean curvature hypersurface in an （n ＋ 1）-dimensional Riemannian manifold N^n＋1 whose （n - 1）th Ricci curvature satisfying Ric^N（n-1） （n - 1）c. Denote by H and φ the mean curvature and the trace-free second fundamental form of M respectively. If ｜φ｜^2 - （n- 2）√n（n- 1）｜H｜｜φ｜＋ n（2n - 1）（H^2＋ c） 〉 0, then M does not admit nonconstant bounded harmonic functions with finite Dirichlet integral. In particular, if N has bounded geometry and c ＋ H^2 〉 0, then M must have only one end.     

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.

On closed anti de Sitter spacetimes

This article deals with the structure of the fundamental group of compact anti de Sitter spacetimes, i.e. Lorentz manifolds with constant negative curvature. Algebraically such a manifold is the quotient of the universal cover of the homogeneous space by a discrete group acting properly and co-compactly on it. This exists if and only if is even. Indeed, as this was observed by Kulkarni, is contained in , and acts properly transitively on . It then suffices to take as a co-compact lattice in . The results of the present article give evidence to the question: in dimension , are all compact anti de Sitter spacetimes constructed in this way?

Time-like hypersurfaces in de Sitter space and Legendrian singularities

We construct a basic framework for studying the extrinsic differential geometry on time-like hypersurfaces in the de Sitter space from the viewpoint of the theory of Legendrian singularities. As an application, we study the contact of time-like hypersurfaces with flat totally umbilic time-like hypersurfaces in the de Sitter space. __________ Translated from Sovremennaya Matematika i Ee Prilozheniya (Contemporary Mathematics and Its Applications), Vol. 33, Suzdal Conference-2004, Part 1, 2005.
