Biharmonic and biconservative hypersurfaces in space forms

Differential Geometry 2021-02-02 v2

Abstract

We present some general properties of biharmonic and biconservative submanifolds and then survey recent results on such hypersurfaces in space forms. We also propose an alternative version for a well-known result of Nomizu and Smyth for hypersurfaces by replacing the CMC hypothesis with the more general condition of biconservativity.
