Review text

In the first part of the paper, the author deals with the following problem. Suppose that \(M\) is an immersed compact hypersurface of the Euclidean space with positive Ricci curvature. Assume that its scalar curvature \(S\) and its first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian \(\lambda_{1}\) are related by \( S=(n-1)\cdot \lambda _1\). Can we say then that \(M\) is the standard hypersphere? The main result shows that the answer is yes even if \(S\leq (n-1)\cdot \lambda _1.\) Actually, the affirmative answer to this problem had been independently obtained under more general assumptions (non-negative Ricci curvature and constant scalar curvature) by \textit{Y.-F. Zheng} [Geom. Dedicata 67, 295-300 (1997)]. In the second part, the author gives conditions in terms of a relation among the mean curvature, the scalar curvature and the support function, for a compact hypersurface of the Euclidean space with negative definite second fundamental form, to be a sphere.
