Abstract: In [2], the authors develop a global correspondence between immersed weakly horospherically convex hypersurfaces

p h i : M^{n} o m a t h b b H^{n + 1}

and a class of conformal metrics on domains of the round sphere

m a t h b b S^{n}

. Some of the key aspects of the correspondence and its consequences have dimensional restrictions

due to the reliance on an analytic proposition from [5] concerning the asymptotic behavior of conformal factors of conformal metrics on domains of

m a t h b b S^{n}

. In this paper, we prove a new lemma about the asymptotic behavior of a functional combining the gradient of the conformal factor and itself, which allows us to extend the global correspondence and embeddedness theorems of [2] to all dimensions

in a unified way. In the case of a single point boundary

p a r t i a l_{i n f t y} p h i (M) = x s u b s e t m a t h b b S^{n}

, we improve these results in one direction. As an immediate consequence of this improvement and the work on elliptic problems in [2], we have a new, stronger Bernstein type theorem. Moreover, we are able to extend the Liouville and Delaunay type theorems from [2] to the case of surfaces in

Review text

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 \(\mathbb S^n\).
