An extrinsic decomposition theorem and a slant tube theorem for a curvature netted hypersurface

In this paper, we treat hypersurfaces in a Euclidean space the number of whose distinct principal curvatures is constant almost everywhere. We call such a hypersurface satisfying certain additional condition a curvature netted hypersurface. First we shall define the notions of a twisted (or warped) sum immersion, a slant focal map and a slant tube. We shall investigate, in what case, a complete curvature netted hypersurface is immersed by a warped sum immersion or becomes a slant tube of the image of a slant focal map.     

Dupin'sche Hyperflächen in E4

A hypersurface M in Eⁿ is called a Dupin hypersurface if along each curvature surface of M the corresponding principal curvature is constant. For n=3 the only Dupin hypersurfaces are spheres, planes and the well known cyclides of Dupin. In this paper all Dupin hypersurfaces in E⁴ are explicitly determined.     

A d’Alembert Formula for Hopf Hypersurfaces

A Hopf hypersurface in complex hyperbolic space ${\mathbb{C}{\rm H}^n}$ is one for which the complex structure applied to the normal vector is a principal direction at each point. In this paper, Hopf hypersurfaces for which the corresponding principal curvature is small (relative to ambient curvature) are studied by means of a generalized Gauss map into a product of spheres, and it is shown that the hypersurface may be recovered from the image of this map, via an explicit parametrization.     

Rigidity of linear Weingarten hypersurfaces in locally symmetric manifolds

Our purpose in this paper is to study the rigidity of complete linear Weingarten hypersurfaces immersed in a locally symmetric manifold obeying some standard curvature conditions (in particular, in a Riemannian space with constant sectional curvature). Under appropriated constrains on the scalar curvature function, we prove that such a hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or isometric to an isoparametric hypersurface with two distinct principal curvatures, one of them being simple. Furthermore, we also deal with the parabolicity of these hypersurfaces with respect to a suitable Cheng–Yau modified operator.     

Embedded Hypersurfaces in Sn+1 with Constant Mean Curvature and Spherical Boundary

It is proved that an embedded hypersurface in a hemisphere of the Euclidean unit spherewith constant mean curvature and spherical boundary inherits, under certainconditions, the symmetries of its boundary. In particular, spherical caps are theonly such hypersurfaces whose boundary are geodesic spheres.     

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.     

Hopf hypersurfaces in pseudo-Riemannian complex and para-complex space forms

The study of real hypersurfaces in pseudo-Riemannian complex space forms and para-complex space forms, which are the pseudo-Riemannian generalizations of the complex space forms, is addressed. It is proved that there are no umbilic hypersurfaces, nor real hypersurfaces with parallel shape operator in such spaces. Denoting by J be the complex or para-complex structure of a pseudo-complex or para-complex space form respectively, a non-degenerate hypersurface of such space with unit normal vector field N is said to be Hopf if the tangent vector field JN is a principal direction. It is proved that if a hypersurface is Hopf, then the corresponding principal curvature (the Hopf curvature) is constant. It is also observed that in some cases a Hopf hypersurface must be, locally, a tube over a complex (or para-complex) submanifold, thus generalizing previous results of Cecil, Ryan and Montiel.     

On hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in space forms

We investigate the immersed hypersurfaces in space forms ℕ ^n + 1(c), n ≥ 4 with two distinct non-simple principal curvatures without the assumption that the (high order) mean curvature is constant. We prove that any immersed hypersurface in space forms with two distinct non-simple principal curvatures is locally conformal to the Riemannian product of two constant curved manifolds. We also obtain some characterizations for the Clifford hypersurfaces in terms of the trace free part of the second fundamental form.     

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.

Complete hypersurfaces immersed in a semi-Riemannian warped product

The aim of this paper is to study the uniqueness of complete hypersurfaces immersed in a semi-Riemannian warped product whose warping function has convex logarithm and such that its fiber has constant sectional curvature. By using as main analytical tool a suitable maximum principle for complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds and supposing a natural comparison inequality between the r-th mean curvatures of the hypersurface and that ones of the slices of the region where the hypersurface is contained, we are able to prove that a such hypersurface must be, in fact, a slice.     

Stability index jump for constant mean curvature hypersurfaces of spheres

It is known that the totally umbilical hypersurfaces in the (n + 1)-dimensional spheres are characterized as the only hypersurfaces with weak stability index 0. That is, a compact hypersurface with constant mean curvature, cmc, in S ⁿ⁺¹, different from an Euclidean sphere, must have stability index greater than or equal to 1. In this paper we prove that the weak stability index of any non-totally umbilical compact hypersurface ${M \subset S^{{n+1}}}$ with cmc cannot take the values 1, 2, 3 . . . , n.     

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 class C 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 class C ⁴ has to be a round sphere. In particular, the sphere is not II-rigid in the class of all convex C ² -hypersurfaces.

Sn+1中具有调和M(o)bius曲率张量的超曲面

设x:Mn→Sn 1是(n 1)维单位球面Sn 1中的无脐点的超曲面.Sn 1中超曲面x有两个基本的共形不变量:M(o)bius度量g和M(o)bius第二基本形式B.当超曲面维数大于3时,在相差一个M(o)bius变换下这两个不变量完全决定了超曲面.另外M(o)bius形式Ф也是一个重要的不变量,在一些分类定理中Ф=0条件的假定是必要的.本文考虑了Sn 1(n≥3)中具有消失M(o)bius形式Ф的超曲面:对具有调和曲率张量的超曲面进行分类,进而,在M(o)bius度量的意义下,对Einstein超曲面和具有常截面曲率的超曲面也进行了分类.     

Stability and geometric properties of constant weighted mean curvature hypersurfaces in gradient Ricci solitons

In this paper, we study stability properties of hypersurfaces with constant weighted mean curvature (CWMC) in gradient Ricci solitons. The CWMC hypersurfaces generalize the f-minimal hypersurfaces and appear naturally in the isoperimetric problems in smooth metric measure spaces. We obtain a result about the relationship between the properness and extrinsic volume growth under the assumption of a limitation for the weighted mean curvature of the immersion. Moreover, we estimate Morse index for CWMC hypersurfaces in terms of the dimension of the space of parallel vector fields restricted to hypersurface.     

Complete Linear Weingarten Spacelike Hypersurfaces Immersed in a Locally Symmetric Lorentz Space

In this paper, we establish a characterization theorem concerning the complete linear Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a locally symmetric Lorentz space, whose sectional curvature is supposed to obey certain appropriated conditions. Under a suitable restriction on the length of the second fundamental form, we prove that a such spacelike hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or an isoparametric hypersurface with two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple.     

Gluing constructions amongst constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in $${\mathbb {S}^{n+1}}$$

Four constructions of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces in \mathbb Sⁿ⁺¹{\mathbb {S}^{n+1}} are given, which should be considered analogues of ‘classical’ constructions that are possible for CMC hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. First, Delaunay-like hypersurfaces, consisting roughly of a chain of hyperspheres winding multiple times around an equator, are shown to exist for all the values of the mean curvature. Second, a hypersurface is constructed which consists of two chains of spheres winding around a pair of orthogonal equators, showing that Delaunay-like hypersurfaces can be fused together in a symmetric manner. Third, a Delaunay-like handle can be attached to a generalized Clifford torus of the same mean curvature. Finally, two generalized Clifford tori of equal but opposite mean curvature of any magnitude can be attached to each other by symmetrically positioned Delaunay-like ‘arms’. This last result extends Butscher and Pacard’s doubling construction for generalized Clifford tori of small mean curvature.

Real Hypersurfaces with Two Principal Curvatures in Complex Projective and Hyperbolic Planes

We find the first examples of real hypersurfaces with two nonconstant principal curvatures in complex projective and hyperbolic planes, and we classify them. It turns out that each such hypersurface is foliated by equidistant Lagrangian flat surfaces with parallel mean curvature or, equivalently, by principal orbits of a cohomogeneity two polar action.
