Abstract: Based on properties of n-subharmonic functions we show that a complete, noncompact, properly embedded hypersurface with nonnegative Ricci curvature in hyperbolic space has an asymptotic boundary at infinity of at most two points. Moreover, the presence of two points in the asymptotic boundary is a rigidity condition that forces the hypersurface to be an equidistant hypersurface about a geodesic line in hyperbolic space. This gives an affirmative answer to the question raised by Alexander and Currier in 1990.


Let \(M\) be a complete noncompact hypersurface with nonnegative Ricci curvature properly embedded in a hyperbolic space \(\bar M\), and \(\partial M\) be the asymptotic boundary of \(M\) at infinity. In this paper the authors show that \(\partial M\) has at most two points and if \(\partial M\) has exactly two points then \(M\) is equidistant about a geodesic line of \(\bar M\).
