In this article, we deal with complete spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in an open region of the de Sitter space $\mathbb {S}^{n+1}_{1}$ which is known as the steady state space $\mathcal {H}^{n+1}$. Under suitable constraints on the behavior of the higher order mean curvatures of these hypersurfaces, we are able to prove that they must be spacelike hyperplanes of $\mathcal {H}^{n+1}$. Furthermore, through the analysis of the hyperbolic cylinders of $\mathcal {H}^{n+1}$, we discuss the importance of the main hypothesis in our results. Our approach is based on a generalized maximum principle at infinity for complete Riemannian manifolds.

In this paper, we characterise the n-dimensional (n ≥ 3) complete spacelike hypersurfaces Mn in a de Sitter space with constant scalar curvature and with two distinct principal curvatures. We show that if the multiplicities of such principal curvatures are greater than 1, then Mn is isometric to Hk (sinh r) × Sn−k (cosh r), 1 < k < n − 1. In particular, when Mn is the complete spacelike hypersurfaces in with the scalar curvature and the mean curvature being linearly related, we also obtain a characteristic Theorem of such hypersurfaces.

Abstract In this paper, by supposing a natural comparison inequality on the positive r-th mean curvatures of the hypersurface, we obtain some new Bernstein-type theorems for complete spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a semi-Riemannian warped product of constant sectional curvature. Generalizing the above results, under a restriction on the sectional curvature or the Ricci curvature tensor of the fiber of a warped product, we also prove some new rigidity theorems in semi-Riemannian warped products. Our main results extend some recent Bernstein-type theorems proved in [12, 13, 14].
