Hypersurfaces in non-flat Lorentzian space forms satisfying $L_k\psi=A\psi+b$
Abstract
We study hypersurfaces either in the De Sitter space or in the anti De Sitter space \H_1^{n+1}\subset\R_2^{n+2} whose position vector satisfies the condition , where is the linearized operator of the -th mean curvature of the hypersurface, for a fixed , is an constant matrix and is a constant vector in the corresponding pseudo-Euclidean space. For every , we prove that when is self-adjoint and , the only hypersurfaces satisfying that condition are hypersurfaces with zero -th mean curvature and constant -th mean curvature, open pieces of standard pseudo-Riemannian products in (, \H^m(-r)\times\S^{n-m}(\sqrt{1+r^2}), , \H^m(-\sqrt{r^2-1})\times\S^{n-m}(r)), open pieces of standard pseudo-Riemannian products in \H_1^{n+1} (\H_1^m(-r)\times\S^{n-m}(\sqrt{r^2-1}), \H^m(-\sqrt{1+r^2})\times\S_1^{n-m}(r), \S_1^m(\sqrt{r^2-1})\times\H^{n-m}(-r), \H^m(-\sqrt{1-r^2})\times\H^{n-m}(-r)) and open pieces of a quadratic hypersurface , where is a self-adjoint constant matrix whose minimal polynomial is , , and stands for or \H_1^{n+1}\subset\R_2^{n+2}. When is constant and is a non-zero constant vector, we show that the hypersurface is totally umbilical, and then we also obtain a classification result (see Theorem 2).
