Abstract We study some Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces in a de Sitter space S1n+1 (1). If the Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces have two distinct principal curvatures, we obtain two classification theorems which give some characterization of the Riemannian product Hk(1−coth2 ϱ)× Sn−k(1 − tanh2 ϱ), 1 < k < n − 1 in S1n+1(1), the hyperbolic cylinder H1(1 − coth2 ϱ) × Sn-1(1 − tanh2 ϱ) or spherical cylinder Hn−1(1 − coth2 ϱ) × S1(1 − tanh2 ϱ) in S1n+1 (1)

Abstract Our purpose in this paper is to study complete linear Weingarten space-like hypersurface immersed in locally symmetric Lorentz space obeying some curvature conditions. Our approach is based on the use of a Simons type formula related to an appropriated Cheng-Yau modified operator jointly with some generalized maximum principles, we obtain that such a space-like hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or isometric to an isoparametric hypersurface with two distinct principal curvatures, one of which is simple. This result corresponds to a natural improvement of previous ones due to de Lima, dos Santos, Velásquez [On the umbilicity of complete linear Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a locally symmetric Lorentz space, São Paulo J. Math. Sci. 11 (2017), 456–470] and Alías, de Lima, dos Santos [New characterizations of linear Weingarten spacelike hypersurfaces in de Sitter space, Pacific J. Math. 292 (2018), 1–19].

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.

We obtain a height estimate concerning to a compact spacelike hypersurfaceΣnimmersed with constant mean curvatureHin the anti-de Sitter spaceℍ1n+1, when its boundary∂Σis contained into an umbilical spacelike hypersurface of this spacetime which is isometric to the hyperbolic spaceℍn. Our estimate depends only on the value ofHand on the geometry of∂Σ.As applications of our estimate, we obtain a characterization of hyperbolic domains ofℍ1n+1and nonexistence results in connection with such types of hypersurfaces.

We investigate complete spacelike hypersurfaces in an Anti-de Sitter space with constant m-th mean curvature and two distinct principal curvatures. By using Otsuki's idea, we obtain some global classification results. For their application, we obtain some characterizations for hyperbolic cylinders. We prove that the only complete spacelike hypersurfaces in Anti-de Sitter (n + 1)-spaces (n ≥ 3) of constant mean curvature or constant scalar curvature with two distinct principal curvatures λ and μ satisfying inf (λ - μ)2 > 0 are the hyperbolic cylinders. It is a little surprising that the corresponding result does not hold for m-th mean curvature when m > 2. We also obtain some global rigidity results for hyperbolic cylinders in terms of square length of the second fundamental form.

AbstractBernstein's theorem states that the only complete minimal graphs in R3 are the hyperplanes. We shall produce evidence in favour of some conjectural generalizations of this theorem for the cases of spacelike hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature in Minkowski space and in de Sitter space. The results suggest that the class of asymptotically simple space-times admitting a complete spacelike hypersurface of constant mean curvature may well be considerably smaller than the general class of asymptotically simple space-times.
