Spherical 2-type hypersurfaces (Q803963): Difference between revisions

In [Chin. J. Math. 14, 1--14 (1986; Zbl 0604.53021)] the reviewer proved the following result. Theorem 1. Let \(M\) be a compact hypersurface of a hypersphere \(S^{n+1}\) in a Euclidean \((n+2)\)-space \(E^{n+2}\) which is not a small hypersphere in \(S^{n+1}\). Then \(M\) has nonzero constant mean curvature and constant scalar curvature if and only if \(M\) is mass-symmetric and of 2-type. In this article, the authors generalize the reviewer's result as follows: Let \(M\) be a hypersurface of a hypersphere \(S^{n+1}\) in \(E^{n+2}\) which is not an open portion of a small hypersphere in \(S^{n+1}\). Then \(M\) has nonzero constant mean curvature and constant scalar curvature if and only if \(M\) is of 2-type.
