Abstract

We consider the integrals of rr-mean curvatures SrS_r of a complete hypersurface MM in space forms Qcn+1\mathcal{Q}_c^{n+1} which generalize volume (r=0)(r=0), total mean curvature (r=1)(r=1), total scalar curvature (r=2)(r=2) and total curvature (r=n)(r=n). Among other results we prove that a complete properly immersed hypersurface of a space form with Sr0S_r\geq 0, Sr≢0S_r\not\equiv 0 and Sr+10S_{r+1}\equiv 0 for some rn1r\le n-1 has MSrdM=.\int_MS_rdM=\infty.
