Resumen de On the classification of hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces satisfying LrHr+1 = AHr+1
Akram Mohammadpouri, Firooz Pashaie
In this paper, we study isometrically immersed hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space En+1 satisfying the condition LrH r+i = λHr+1for an integer r ( 0 ≤ r ≤ n — 1), where Hr+iis the (r + 1)th mean curvature vector field on the hypersurface, Lr is the linearized operator of the first variation of the (r + 1) th mean curvature of hypersurface arising from its normal variations. Having assumed that on a hypersurface x : Mn → En+1, the vector field Hr+i be an eigenvector of the operator Lr with a constant real eigenvalue λ, we show that, Mn has to be an Lr-biharmonic, Lr-1-type, or Lr-null-2-type hypersurface. Furthermore, we study the above condition on a well-known family of hypersurfaces, named the weakly convex hypersurfaces (i.e. on which principal curvatures are nonnegative). We prove that, any weakly convex Euclidean hypersurface satisfying the condition Lr Hr+i = λ Hr+i for an integer r ( 0 ≤ r ≤ n — 1), has constant mean curvature of order (r + 1). As an interesting result, we have that, the Lr-biharmonicity condition on the weakly convex Euclidean hypersurfaces implies the r-minimality.
