In this paper, we establish the notion of (r, s)-stability concerning spacelike hypersurfaces with higher-order mean curvatures linearly related in conformally stationary spacetimes of constant sectional curvature. In this setting, we characterize (r, s)-stable closed spacelike hypersurfaces through the analysis of the first eigenvalue of an operator naturally attached to the higher-order mean curvatures. Moreover, we obtain sufficient conditions which assure the (r, s)-stability of complete spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in the de Sitter space.

AbstractIn this paper, as a suitable application of the well-known generalized maximum principle of Omori–Yau, we obtain uniqueness results concerning to complete spacelike hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature immersed in a Robertson–Walker (RW) spacetime. As an application of such uniqueness results for the case of vertical graphs in a RW spacetime, we also get non-parametric rigidity results.

AbstractIn this paper we study the problem of uniqueness for spacelike hypersurfaces with constant higher order mean curvature in generalized Robertson–Walker (GRW) spacetimes. In particular, we consider the following question: under what conditions must a compact spacelike hypersurface with constant higher order mean curvature in a spatially closed GRW spacetime be a spacelike slice? We prove that this happens, essentially, under the so callednull convergence condition. Our approach is based on the use of the Newton transformations (and their associated differential operators) and the Minkowski formulae for spacelike hypersurfaces.

AbstractIn this paper, we deal with complete hypersurfaces immersed with bounded higher order mean curvatures in steady state-type spacetimes and in hyperbolic-type spaces. By applying a generalised maximum principle for the Yau's square operator [11], we obtain uniqueness results in each of these ambient spaces.

The proof of Corollary 4⋅3 in our paper [1] is not correct because there is a mistake in the expression given for ∥X* ∧ Y*∥2 on page 374. In fact, the correct expression for this term is \begin{eqnarray*} \norm{X^*\wedge Y^*}^2 & = & \norm{X^*}^2\norm{Y^*}^2-\pair{X^*,Y^*}^2\\ {} & = & 1+\pair{X,T}^2+\pair{Y,T}^2\geq 1, \end{eqnarray*} and then the inequality (4⋅9) is no longer true. Observe that all the previous reasoning before the wrong expression for ∥X* ∧ Y*∥2 is correct.
