AbstractWe consider the extent of certain complete hypersurfaces of Euclidean space. We prove that every complete hypersurface in En+1 with sectional curvature bounded below and non-positive scalar curvature has at least (n − 1) unbounded coordinate functions.

In a recent paper [2] Nomizu and Smyth have determined the hypersurfaces Mn of non-negative sectional curvature iso-metrically immersed in the Euclidean space Rn+1 or the sphere Sn+1 with constant mean curvature under the additional assumption that the scalar curvature of Mn is constant. This additional assumption is automatically satisfied if Mn is compact. In this paper we extend these results to codimension p isometric immersions. We determine the n-dimensional submanifolds Mn of non-negative sectional curvature isometrically immersed in the Euclidean Space Rn+P or the sphere Sn+P with constant mean curvature under the additional assumptions that Mn has constant scalar curvature and the curvature tensor of the connection in the normal bundle is zero. By constant mean curvature we mean that the mean curvature normal is paral lel with respect to the connection in the normal bundle. The assumption that Mn has constant scalar curvature is automatically satisfied if Mn is compact. The assumption on the normal connection is automatically sa tisfied if p = 2 and the mean curvature normal is not zero.

Given a hypersurface M on a unit sphere of the Euclidean space, we define the cone based on M as the set of half-lines issuing from the origin and passing through M. By assuming that the scalar curvature of the cone vanishes, we obtain conditions under which bounded domains of such cone are stable or unstable.
