Let Q 4 (c) be a four-dimensional space form of constant curvature c. In this paper we show that the infimum of the absolute value of the Gauss-Kronecker curvature of a complete minimal hypersurface in Q 4 (c), c ≤ 0, whose Ricci curvature is bounded from below, is equal to zero. Further, we study the connected minimal hypersurfaces M 3 of a space form Q 4 (c) with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature K . For the case c ≤ 0, we prove, by a local argument, that if K is constant, then K must be equal to zero. We also present a classification of complete minimal hypersurfaces of Q 4 (c) with K constant.
Let H, K and R be, respectively, the mean curvature, the GaussKronecker curvature and the scalar curvature of a closed hypersurface immersed in the unit sphere S 4 . In this paper we completely classify the closed hypersurfaces of S 4 where any two of H, K and R are constant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
