AbstractIn this paper we establish an integral formula for compact hypersurfaces in non-flat space forms, and apply it to derive some interesting applications. In particular, we obtain a characterization of geodesic spheres in terms of a relationship between the scalar curvature of the hypersurface and the size of its Gauss map image. We also derive an inequality involving the average scalar curvature of the hypersurface and the radius of a geodesic ball in the ambient space containing the hypersurface, characterizing the geodesic spheres as those for which equality holds.

In 1972, Nomizu and Rodriguez [5] found the following characterization of the complete umbilic submanifolds of Euclidean space.Theorem A. Let Mn, n ≥ 2, be a connected, complete Riemannian manifold isometrically immersed in a Euclidean space Em. Every Morse function of the form Lp has index 0 or n at all of its critical points if and only if Mnis embedded as a Euclidean n-subspace or a Euclidean n-sphere in Em.

Along a transversal geodesic γ whose tangent belongs to the contact distribution D, we define the transversal Jacobi operator Rγ=R(·,γ˙)γ˙ on an almost contact Riemannian manifold M. Then, using the transversal Jacobi operator Rγ, we give a new characterization of the Sasakian sphere. In the second part, we characterize the complete ruled real hypersurfaces in complex hyperbolic space.
