Abstract: We give new estimates for the extrinsic radius of compact hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space and the open hemisphere in terms of high order mean curvatures. Then we prove pinching results corresponding to theses estimates. We show that under a suitable pinching condition, the hypersurface is diffeomorphic and almost isometric to a geodesic hypersphere.


The author considers compact connected and oriented \(n\)-dimensional Riemannian manifolds \((M,g)\) without boundary isometrically immersed into an \((n+1)\)-dimensional simply connected space-form. He gives estimates for the corresponding extrinsic radius of this immersion in terms of higher order mean curvatures. These estimates are extended to so-called pinching cases. The author is able to prove that under a suitable pinching condition \(M\) is diffeomorphic and almost isometric to a sphere.
