Recall that a manifold is of bounded geometry if its sectional curvatures are not more than some positive constant and its injectivity radius is not less than some positive constant. In this paper, the authors consider complete, non-compact, connected Riemannian manifolds without boundary. They simply call these objects complete manifolds. The main results of the paper are the following. {\parindent5mm \begin{itemize}\item[1.] Let \(N^{n+1}\) be a Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry with \(\text{Ric}_{(n-1)}(N)\geq (n-1)c\) and \(M^n\) a complete strongly stable hypersurface with constant mean curvature \(H\) in \(N^{n+1}\). If \((n^3 -5n^2 -8n-4)H^2 \leq 16nc\), then \(H^1 (L^2(M))=0\), and \(M\) has only one non-parabolic end (Theorem 1.1). \item[2.] Let \(N^{n+1}\) be a Riemannian manifold of bounded geometry with \(\text{Ric}_{(n-1)}(N)\geq (n-1)c\) and \(M^n\) a complete weakly stable hypersurface with constant mean curvature \(H\) in \(N^{n+1}\). If \((n^3 -5n^2 -8n-4)H^2 \leq 16nc\), then \(M\) does not admit non-constant bounded harmonic functions with finite Dirichlet integral, and \(M\) has only one non-parabolic end (Theorem 1.2). \item[3.] Let \(M^n\) be a complete strongly stable hypersurface with constant mean curvature \(H\) in an \((n+1)\)-dimensional manifold \(N\) with \(\text{Ric}_{(n-1)}(N)\geq (n-1)c \geq 0\) and \(W\) be a compact manifold with non-positive curvature. Let \(f:M\rightarrow W\) be a smooth map with finite energy. If \((n^3 -5n^2 )H^2 \leq 4(2n-1)c\), then \(f\) is homotopic to a constant map on each compact set (Theorem 1.3). \end{itemize}} In the case when \(N^{n+1}\) is a space form, i.e., a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature, Theorems 1.1 and 1.2 are extensions of the main results of the papers of \textit{X. Cheng} [Bol. Soc. Bras. Mat., Nova Sér. 31, No.~2, 225--239 (2000; Zbl 0978.53114 )] and \textit{X. Cheng, L. F. Cheung} and \textit{D. T. Zhou} [Tohoku Math. J. (2) 60, No.~1, 101--121 (2007; Zbl 1154.53036)]. When \(M\) is a complete stable minimal hypersurface in a manifold of non-negative curvature, Theorem 1.3 corresponds to Theorem 2 in the paper of \textit{R. Schoen} and \textit{S. T. Yau} [Comment. Math. Helv. 51, 333--341 (1976; Zbl 0361.53040)].
