Abstract

We prove that, in Minkowski space, if a spacelike, (n1)(n-1)-convex hypersurface MM with constant σn1\sigma_{n-1} curvature has bounded principal curvatures, then MM is convex. Moreover, if MM is not strictly convex, after an Rn,1\mathbb{R}^{n,1} rigid motion, MM splits as a product Mn1×R.M^{n-1}\times\mathbb{R}. We also construct nontrivial examples of strictly convex, spacelike hypersurface MM with constant σn1\sigma_{n-1} curvature and bounded principal curvatures.
