Gauss map and the topology of constant mean curvature hypersurfaces of S^7 and CP^3

Abstract: We define a Gauss map

g a m m a : M i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b S^{6}

of an oriented hypersurface

M

of the unit sphere

m a t h b b S^{7}

and prove that

g a m m a

is harmonic if and only if

M

has CMC. Results on the geometry and topology of CMC hypersurfaces of

m a t h b b S^{7}

, under hypothesis on the image of

g a m m a

, are then obtained. By a Hopf symmetrization process we define a Gauss map for hypersurfaces of

m a t h b b {C P}^{3}

and obtain similar results for CMC hypersurfaces of this space.
