Compact Hopf hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature in complex space forms

We prove that every connected compact Hopf hypersurface of a complex space form , contained in a geodesic ball of radius strictly smaller than the injectivity radius of , having constant mean curvature and with if if λ < 0 is a geodesic sphere of .

Pappus type theorems for hypersurfaces in a space form

2002

In order to get further insight on the Weyl’s formula for the volume of a tubular hypersurface, we consider the following situation. Letc(t) be a curve in a space formM λ n of sectional curvature λ. LetP 0 be a totally geodesic hypersurface ofM λ n throughc(0) and orthogonal toc(t). LetC 0 be a hypersurface ofP 0. LetC be the hypersurface ofM λ n obtained by a motion ofC 0 alongc(t). We shall denote it byC PorC Fif it is obtained by a parallel or Frenet motion, respectively. We get a formula for volume(C). Among other consequences of this formula we get that, ifc(0) is the centre of mass ofC 0, then volume(C) ≥ volume(C),P),and the equality holds whenC 0 is contained in a geodesic sphere or…
