In this paper, we give some new characterizations of umbilic hypersurfaces in general warped product manifolds, which can be viewed as generalizations of the work in \cite{KLP18} and \cite{WX14}. Firstly, we prove the rigidity for…

We show that a simply connected Riemannian homogeneous space M which admits a totally geodesic hypersurface F is isometric to either (a) the Riemannian product of a space of constant curvature and a homogeneous space, or (b) the warped…

We first study $f$-biharmonicity of totally umbilical hypersurfaces in a generic Riemannian manifold and then prove that any totally umbilical proper $f$-biharmonic hypersurface in a nonpositively curved manifold has to be noncompact. We…

The study of real hypersurfaces in pseudo-Riemannian complex space forms and para-complex space forms, which are the pseudo-Riemannian generalizations of the complex space forms, is addressed. It is proved that there are no umbilic…

Following ideas of Choe and Fernandez-do Carmo, we give sufficient conditions for a disk type surface, with piecewise smooth boundary, to be totally umbilical for a given Coddazi pair. As a consequence, we obtain rigidity results for…

In this paper, we classify Euclidean umbilic-free hypersurfaces with semi-parallel Moebius second fundamental form and three distinct principal curvatures. This completes the classification of such hypersurfaces initiated by Hu, Xie and…

By Hartman--Nirenberg's theorem, any complete flat hypersurface in Euclidean space must be a cylinder over a plane curve. However, if we admit some singularities, there are many non-trivial examples. Flat fronts are flat hypersurfaces with…

We prove the existence of rotational hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{H}^n\times \mathbb{R}$ with $H_{r+1}=0$ and we classify them. Then we prove some uniqueness theorems for $r$-minimal hypersurfaces with a given (finite or asymptotic) boundary.…
