Abstract: We find the first three most general Minkowski or Hsiung-Minkowski identities relating the total mean curvatures $H_i$, of degrees $i=1,2,3$, of a closed hypersurface $N$ immersed in a given orientable Riemannian manifold $M$ endowed with any given vector field $P$. Then we specialise the three identities to the case when $P$ is a position vector field. We further obtain that the classical Minkowski identity is natural to all Riemannian manifolds and, moreover, that a corresponding 1st degree Hsiung-Minkowski identity holds true for all Einstein manifolds. We apply the result to hypersurfaces with constant $H_1,H_2$.

Review text

In this article, the author studies Hsiung-Minkowski identities relating mean curvatures of a closed immersed hypersurface. To begin with, the author introduces the notion of positive vector field \(P\) that satisfies the following property: there exists a function \(f\) such that for any vector field \(X\), we have \(\nabla_X P = fX\). In Theorem 2.2, the author proves three generalized Hsiung-Minkowski identities for a hypersurface which mainly relate the mean curvatures of the hypersurface, a position vector field in a tubular neighborhood of the hypersurface, and the Ricci curvatures of the ambient space; see Equations (19--21) of the paper. As an application, the author proves an interesting result (Theorem 3.3) for a closed hypersurface \(N\) in an Einstein manifolds. The author uses the integral involving the positive vector field over \(N\) to give a characterization of the flatness as well as umbilicity of \(N\).
