In this paper, we investigate the classification of $H$-tensional hypersurfaces $M$ in a $4$-dimensional space form $N^4(c)$ of constant sectional curvature $c$. Our results show that minimal hypersurfaces are the only $H$-tensional…

The bending energy of any freely deformable closed surface is quadratic in its curvature. In the absence of constraints, it will be minimized when the surface adopts the form of a round sphere. If the surface is confined within a…

In this paper, we study Lorentzian biconservative hypersurfaces for which the gradient of their mean curvature $H$ is lightlike, i.e. $\langle \gr H,\gr H\rangle=0$. We establish the non-existence of such hypersurfaces in the Minkowski…
