Klotz Milnor} [Adv. Math. 8, 474-543 (1972; Zbl 0236.53055)]. Several authors have suggested a similar `n-dimensional Efimov conjecture': if M n is a complete isometrically immersed hypersurface in \\({\\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}\\) whose Ricci curvatures are all negative, then these curvatures are not bounded above by a negative constant. When \\(n=3\\) the authors prove that this conjecture is correct in a very strong sense: the second fundamental form A of such a hypersurface must satisfy \\(\\inf | A| =0\\). In the case \\(n>3\\), they have a partial result: if a counterexample to the conjecture exists, then its sectional curvatures must take on every real value.    To show all this they first prove a result, important in its own right, concerning the values of the nonzero principal curvatures of any complete immersed oriented hypersurface M in \\({\\mathbb{R}}^{n+1}:\\) let \\(\\Lambda\\) \\(+\\) and \\(\\Lambda\\)- denote the sets of values assumed by the positive and the negative principal curvatures (respectively) on M; then either (a) one of these sets is empty, in which case the other has connected closure, or (b) both are nonempty, in which case inf \\(\\Lambda\\) \\(+=\\sup \\Lambda\\) \\(- =0\\). (The authors also prove an analogous result for submanifolds with arbitrary codimension.) The main tools are theorems of Sacksteder-van Heijenoort and Wu concerning convex hypersurface [see \\textit{H. Wu}, J. Differ. Geom. 9, 279-290 (1974; Zbl 0282.53040), and \\textit{R. Osserman}'s `convex hull' theorem, ibid. 6, 267-270 (1971; Zbl 0226.53009)].    What distinguishes the case \\(n=3\\) is that, because the Ricci curvature is negative, then (1) the principal curvatures \\(\\lambda_ j\\) of M can be labelled (after reversing the orientation if needed) so that one of them is positive and the rest are negative; i.e. \\(\\lambda_ 1>0\\) and \\(\\lambda_ 2,\\lambda_ 3<0\\). The Ricci condition then implies in addition that (2) \\(\\lambda_ 1\\geq | \\lambda_ k|\\) for \\(k=2,3\\) and thus \\(| A| \\leq \\sqrt{3}\\lambda_ 1\\). The condition inf \\(\\Lambda\\) \\(+=0\\) now implies that \\(\\inf | A| =0\\), as desired. (This analysis requires \\(n=3\\) because the analog of (1) does not hold if \\(n\\geq 4\\), while the analog of (2) is false when \\(n=2.)\\)    \\{Reviewer's comment: A result of \\textit{S. Chern} [see Abh. Math. Semin. Univ. Hamb. 29, 77-91 (1965; Zbl 0147.209), especially Theorem 4] verifies the conjecture for all n provided M is an entire nonparametric hypersurface in \\(R^{n+1}\\).\\}","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1101690$9A821764-5649-4B17-A598-BCED5C0616EC","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"38987b853c2dfc0a00877e7a393df62ac59b4bc0","datavalue":{"value":"53A07","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1101690$DFB3B09E-62E5-4B0A-9E35-FE9B1C59C576","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"ad2bea194cb36f34b2e2a68830264ee529822587","datavalue":{"value":"53C42","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1101690$F945EF26-3312-4A8A-84A0-68E51C10D297","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"b976ce492e149ca93be9af672b2a39b5c93a3554","datavalue":{"value":"4046545","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1101690$15D1BCCA-69EF-4E88-AB4F-BDE2EA92AC60","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"e95ff8a8e7be3c57094462bd2513be84771d71bf","datavalue":{"value":"Hilbert-Efimov
