Hypersurfaces with Light-Like Points in a Lorentzian Manifold II

Differential Geometry 2020-03-30 v1

Abstract

In the authors' previous work, it was shown that if a zero mean curvature C4C^4-differentiable hypersurface in an arbitrarily given Lorentzian manifold admits a degenerate light-like point, then the hypersurface contains a light-like geodesic segment passing through the point. The purpose of this paper is to point out that the same conclusion holds with just C3C^3-differentiability of the hypersurfaces.
