Abstract:Let $ M$ be an $ n$-dimensional compact hypersurface with constant scalar curvature $ n(n-1)r$, $ r> 1$, in a unit sphere $ S^{n+1}(1)$. We know that such hypersurfaces can be characterized as critical points for a variational problem of the integral $ \int_MHdM$ of the mean curvature $ H$. In this paper, we first study the eigenvalue of the Jacobi operator $ J_s$ of $ M$. We derive an optimal upper bound for the first eigenvalue of $ J_s$, and this bound is attained if and only if $ M$ is a totally umbilical and non-totally geodesic hypersurface or $ M$ is a Riemannian product $ S^m(c)\times S^{n-m}(\sqrt{1-c^2})$, $ 1\leq m\leq n-1$.

Keywords:Hypersurface with constant scalar curvature  Jacobi operator  mean curvature  first eigenvalue and principal curvatures
