Abstract: In this paper, through making careful analysis of Gauss and Codazzi equations, we prove that four dimensional biharmonic hypersurfaces in nonzero space form have constant mean curvature. Our result gives the positive answer to the conjecture proposed by Balmus-Montaldo-Oniciuc in 2008 for four dimensional hypersurfaces.


In the paper under review the authors analyzing the Gauss and Codazzi equations show that 4-dimensional biharmonic hypersurfaces in nonzero space forms have constant mean curvature. This result answers positively a conjecture due to \textit{A. Balmus} et al. posed in [Isr. J. Math. 168, 201--220 (2008; Zbl 1172.58004)] regarding 4-dimensional hypersurfaces. The paper is well written and the result is very interesting. It contributes very much to the study of harmonic mappings.
