Weakly horospherically convex hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space (Q2407995)

The authors study immersed hypersurfaces \(\phi:M^n\to\mathbb H^{n+1}\) in hyperbolic space satisfying an exterior horosphere condition, so-called weak horospherical convexity. In [Adv. Math. 280, 506--548 (2015; Zbl 1317.53072)] the authors developed a global correspondence between immersed complete horospherically convex hypersurfaces \(\phi:M^n\to\mathbb H^{n+1}\) (with injective hyperbolic Gauss map \(G:M^n\to\mathbb S^n\)) and complete conformal metrics \(\hat{g}=e^{2\rho}g_{\mathbb S^n}\) on domains \(\Omega\subset\mathbb S^n\), where \(\Omega=G(M)\) and \(\rho\) is the horospherical support function. First, the authors establish a new lemma on the asymptotic behavior of a functional of the conformal factor \(\rho\) for realizable metrics on domains of \(\mathbb S^n\). Using this lemma they extend two of the main results of the above mentioned paper to include the lower-dimensional case \(n=2\). Finally, the authors prove the following new stronger Bernstein-type theorem: For \(n\geqslant 2\), suppose that \(\phi:M^n\to\mathbb H^{n+1}\) is an immersed, complete, uniformly weakly horospherically convex hypersurface with constant mean curvature. Then it is a horosphere if its boundary at infinity is a single point in \(\mathbb S^n\).
