A marginally trapped surface in a spacetime is a Riemannian surface whose mean curvature vector is lightlike at every point. In this paper we give an up-to-date overview of the differential geometric study of these surfaces in Minkowski, de…

We consider the integrals of $r$-mean curvatures $S_r$ of a complete hypersurface $M$ in space forms $\mathcal{Q}_c^{n+1}$ which generalize volume $(r=0)$, total mean curvature $(r=1)$, total scalar curvature $(r=2)$ and total curvature…

Our aim is to study invariant hypersurfaces immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, whose mean curvature is given as a linear function in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ depending on its Gauss map. These hypersurfaces are closely…
