Abstract: We study biharmonic hypersurfaces in a generic Riemannian manifold. We first derive an invariant equation for such hypersurfaces generalizing the biharmonic hypersurface equation in space forms studied in cite{Ji2}, cite{CH}, cite{CMO1}, cite{CMO2}. We then apply the equation to show that the generalized Chen's conjecture is true for totally umbilical biharmonic hypersurfaces in an Einstein space, and construct a (2-parameter) family of conformally flat metrics and a (4-parameter) family of multiply warped product metrics each of which turns the foliation of an upper-half space of mathhbbRm by parallel hyperplanes into a foliation with each leave a proper biharmonic hypersurface. We also characterize proper biharmonic vertical cylinders in S2imesmathbbR and H2imesmathbbR.
