Rigidity for Closed Totally Umbilical Hypersurfaces in Space Forms

In Perez (Thesis, 2011), Perez proved some L ² inequalities for closed convex hypersurfaces immersed in the Euclidean space ? ⁿ⁺¹, and more generally for closed hypersurfaces with non-negative Ricci curvature, immersed in an Einstein manifold. In this paper, we discuss the rigidity of these inequalities when the ambient manifold is ? ⁿ⁺¹, the hyperbolic space ? ⁿ⁺¹, or the closed hemisphere \(\mathbb{S}_{+}^{n+1}\) . We also obtain a generalization of Perez’s theorem to the hypersurfaces without the hypothesis of non-negative Ricci curvature.
