Hypersurfaces in the non-flat Lorentzian space forms with a characteristic eigenvector field (Q1346995)

The authors give a classification of surfaces in the 3-dimensional non- flat Lorentzian space form satisfying the equation \(\Delta H = \lambda H\). They show that the family of such surfaces consists of minimal, totally umbilical and \(B\)-scroll surfaces. The \(n\)-dimensional case is also studied for hypersurfaces whose shape operator has no complex eigenvalues, leading to minimal, totally umbilical and generalized \(B\)- scroll hypersurfaces.
