Abstract

We consider a complete, totally umbilical hypersurface MM of Riemannian space (R^n,g^)(\hat{R}^n, \hat{g}) induced by a Minkowski space (Rn,F)(R^n, F). Under certain conditions we prove that MM is isometric to a "round" hypersphere of the (n+1)(n + 1)-dimensional Euclidean space. We also prove that the Minkowski norm FF must be arised from an inner product if there exist a non-zero vector field, which is parallel according to Levi-Civita connection of the metric tensor g^\hat{g}.
