We address the problem of determining the hypersurfaces $f\colon M^{n} \to \mathbb{Q}_s^{n+1}(c)$ with dimension $n\geq 3$ of a pseudo-Riemannian space form of dimension $n+1$, constant curvature $c$ and index $s\in \{0, 1\}$ for which…

An expression for the first variation of the area functional of the second fundamental form is given for a hypersurface in a semi-Riemannian space. The concept of the "mean curvature of the second fundamental form" is then introduced. Some…

Four constructions of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces in the (n+1)-sphere are given, which should be considered analogues of `classical' constructions that are possible for CMC hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. First,…

In this paper, we study complete hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in anti-de Sitter space $H^{n+1}_1(-1)$. we prove that if a complete space-like hypersurface with constant mean curvature $x:\mathbf M\rightarrow H^{n+1}_1(-1) $…

It is still an open question whether a compact embedded hypersurface in the Euclidean space R^{n+1} with constant mean curvature and spherical boundary is necessarily a hyperplanar ball or a spherical cap, even in the simplest case of…

We define hypersurfaces $f\colon M^n\to \mathbb{Q}_{c_1}^{k} \times \mathbb{Q}_{c_2}^{n-k+1}$ in class $\mathcal{A}$ of a product of two space forms as those that have flat normal bundle when regarded as submanifolds of the underlying flat…

We review recent results on classifying complete constant mean curvature 1 (CMC 1) surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space with low total curvature. There are two natural notions of "total curvature" -- one is the total absolute curvature, which is…

In this paper, we characterize and classify the isoparametric hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures in the product spaces $ \mathbb{Q}^{2}_{c_{1}} \times \mathbb{Q}^{2}_{c_{2}}$, where $\mathbb{Q}^{2}_{c_{i}}$ is a space form…

Let $M^n$ be a biharmonic hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in a space form $\mathbb M^{n+1}(c)$. We show that $M^n$ has constant mean curvature if $c>0$ and $M^n$ is minimal if $c\leq0$, provided that the number of distinct…
