Abstract

Our paper is an attempt to to verify the Chen's conjecture on biharmonic submanifolds and to classify biconservative submanifolds. In doing so we provide an affirmative answer to Chen's conjecture on biharmonic submanifolds. We prove that every biconservative Lorentz hypersurface M1nM_{1}^{n} in E1n+1\mathbb{E}_{1}^{n+1} having complex eigenvalues has constant mean curvature. Moreover, every biharmonic Lorentz hypersurface M1nM_{1}^{n} having complex eigenvalues in E1n+1\mathbb{E}_{1}^{n+1} must be minimal.
