Review text

In the paper under review the authors study space-like maximal immersion (they call them minimal immersions) of the 2-dimensional sphere \(S^2(K)\) of constant curvature \(K\) into a de Sitter space \(S^{n}_{\nu}(1)\). They prove Theorem 1. Let \(x: S^2(K)\to S^{n}_{\nu}(1)\) be a space like maximal immersion of \(S^2(K)\) into \(S^{n}_{\nu}(1)\). Then, for some integer \(m\geq 2\), \(K=\frac2{m(m-1)}\) holds. Theorem 2. Let \(x: S^2(K)\to S^{n}_{\nu}(1)\) be a space-like maximal immersion of \(S^2(K)\) into \(S^{n}_{\nu}(1)\) with \(K=\frac2{m(m-1)}\) and \(m\geq 2\). Then \(x(S^2(K))\) lies in a totally geodesic sphere \(S^{2m-2}(1)\) of \(S^{n}_{\nu}(1)\).
