Abstract: The purpose of the present work is to study (marginally) trapped submanifolds lying in a null hypersurface. Let $(M,g,N)oBm(c)$ be a null hypersurface of a space-time with constant sectional curvature $c$, endowed with a Screen Integrable and Conformal rigging $N$. The (Marginally) Trapped Submanifolds we are interested with are particular leaves of the screen distribution according to the sign of their expansions. We prove that if $c$ is non-positive, then $Bm$ cannot contain a null non-expanding horizon. In the case $c$ is positive, we show that if $Bm$ satisfies Einstein's equation and dominant energy condition holds, then any null trapping horizon of $Bm$ is a null non-expanding horizon. More generally we prove that in a spacetime $Bm(c)$ with constant sectional curvature $c$, cross-sections of a marginally outer trapped tube are Riemann manifold with the same constant sectional curvature $c$.
