Abstract

Let MM be a 5 dimensional Riemannian manifold with SecM[0,1]Sec_M\in[0,1], Σ\Sigma be a locally conformally flat hypersphere in MM with mean curvature HH. We prove that, there exists ε0>0\varepsilon_0>0, such that Σ(1+H2)28π2/3\int_\Sigma (1+H^2)^2 \ge 8\pi^2/3, provided Hε0H \le \varepsilon_0. In particular, if Σ\Sigma is a locally conformally flat minimal hypersphere in MM, then Vol(Σ)8π2/3Vol(\Sigma) \ge 8\pi^2/3, which partially answer a question proposed by Mazet and Rosenberg \cite{Ma&Rosen}. For an (n+1)(n+1)- dimensional rotationally symmetric Riemannian manifold MM, we show that an immersed hypersurface Σ\Sigma is locally conformally flat if and only if (n1n-1) of the principal curvatures of Σ\Sigma are the same, which is a generalization of Cartan's result \cite{Cartan}. As an application, we prove that if MM is (some special but large class) rotationally symmetric 5-manifold with SecM[0,1]Sec_M\in [0,1], and Σ\Sigma is a locally conformally flat hypersphere with mean curvature HH, the inequality Σ(1+H2)28π2/3\int_\Sigma (1+H^2)^2 \ge 8\pi^2/3 holds for all HH.
