A hypersurface $M^{n-1}$ in a real space-form ${\bf R}^n$, $S^n$ or $H^n$ is isoparametric if it has constant principal curvatures. For ${\bf R}^n$ and $H^n$, the classification of isoparametric hypersurfaces is complete and relatively…

If $M$ is an isoparametric hypersurface in a sphere $S^n$ with four distrinct principal curvatures, then the principal curvatures $\kappa_1,...,\kappa_4$ can be ordered so that their multiplicities satisfy $m_1=m_2$ and $m_3=m_4$, and the…

A hypersurface $M^{n-1}$ in Euclidean space $E^n$ is proper Dupin if the number of distinct principal curvatures is constant on $M^{n-1}$, and each principal curvature function is constant along each leaf of its principal foliation. This…

This is a survey of local and global classification results concerning Dupin hypersurfaces in $S^n$ (or ${\bf R}^n$) that have been obtained in the context of Lie sphere geometry. The emphasis is on results that relate Dupin hypersurfaces…

In this paper we show that a Dupin hypersurface with constant M\"{o}bius curvatures is M\"{o}bius equivalent to either an isoparametric hypersurface in the sphere or a cone over an isoparametric hypersurface in a sphere. We also show that a…

A hypersurface $M^n$ in a real space form ${\bf R}^{n+1}$, $S^{n+1}$, or $H^{n+1}$ is isoparametric if it has constant principal curvatures. This paper is a survey of the fundamental work of Cartan and M\"{u}nzner on the theory of…

Chern's conjecture states that a closed minimal hypersurface in the euclidean sphere is isoparametric if it has constant scalar curvature. When the number $g$ of distinct principal curvatures is greater than three, few satisfactory results…

We classify minimal hypersurfaces in $R^n \times S^m$, $n,m \geq 2$, which are invariant by the canonical action of $O(n) \times O(m)$. We also construct compact and noncompact examples of invariant hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature.…

Let $ M^{n+1} $ ($ n \ge 2 $) be a simply-connected space form of sectional curvature $ -\kappa^2 $ for some $ \kappa \geq 0 $, and $ I $ an interval not containing $ [-\kappa,\kappa] $ in its interior. It is known that the domain of a…

We consider hypersurfaces of products $M\times\mathbb R$ with constant $r$-th mean curvature $H_r\ge 0$ (to be called $H_r$-hypersurfaces), where $M$ is an arbitrary Riemannian $n$-manifold. We develop a general method for constructing…

Motivated by the theory of isoparametric hypersurfaces, we study submanifolds whose tubular hypersurfaces have some constant "higher order mean curvatures". Here a $k$-th order mean curvature $Q_k$ ($k\geq1$) of a hypersurface $M^n$ is…
