We present some integral formulas for compact space-like hypersurfaces in de Sitter space and some equivalent characterizations for totally umbilical compact space-like hypersurfaces in de Sitter space in terms of mean curvature and higher-order mean curvatures.

In this paper, we establish the notion of strong (r, s)-stability concerning closed space-like hypersurfaces immersed with higher-order mean curvatures linearly related in the de Sitter space . In this setting, we prove that totally umbilical round spheres of are strongly (r, s)-stable. Afterwards, we obtain sufficient geometric conditions that guarantee that a closed strongly (r, s)-stable space-like hypersurface in must be a totally umbilical round sphere.

We investigate the umbilicity of [Formula: see text]-dimensional complete linear Weingarten spacelike submanifolds immersed with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field in the de Sitter space [Formula: see text] of index [Formula: see text]. We recall that a spacelike submanifold is said to be linear Weingarten when its mean curvature function [Formula: see text] and its normalized scalar curvature [Formula: see text] satisfy a linear relation of the type [Formula: see text], for some constants [Formula: see text]. Under suitable constraints on the values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we apply a generalized maximum principle for a modified Cheng–Yau operator [Formula: see text] in order to show that such a spacelike submanifold must be either totally umbilical or isometric to a product [Formula: see text], where the factors [Formula: see text] are totally umbilical submanifolds of [Formula: see text] which are mutually perpendicular along their intersections. Moreover, we also study the case in which these spacelike submanifolds are [Formula: see text]-parabolic.

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.

By means of several counterexamples, the impossibility to obtain an analogue of the Chen lower estimation for the total mean curvature of any compact submanifold in Euclidean space for the case of compact space-like submanifolds in Lorentz–Minkowski spacetime is shown. However, a lower estimation for the total mean curvature of a four-dimensional compact space-like submanifold that factors through the light cone of six-dimensional Lorentz–Minkowski spacetime is proved by using a technique completely different from Chen's original one. Moreover, the equality characterizes the totally umbilical four-dimensional round spheres in Lorentz–Minkowski spacetime. Finally, three applications are given. Among them, an extrinsic upper bound for the first non-trivial eigenvalue of the Laplacian of the induced metric on a four-dimensional compact space-like submanifold that factors through the light cone is proved.
