The convex-concave principle and uniqueness for hypersurfaces in space forms (Q5950492)

Let \(M\) be a hypersurface in a space form, \(B\) a Codazzi tensor of \(M\). The author establishes Weyl identities for pairs of symmetric functions of the invariants of \(B\), this generalizes the classical results of the elementary symmetric functions for the invariants of the shape operator of the hypersurface. Using this, the author generalizes many well known uniqueness theorems for hypersurfaces.
