A Rigidity Result for Minimal Rotation Hypersurfaces of 5D Spaces of Constant Curvature

Abstract

In this paper we show that a particular extrinsic pointwise hypersurface invariant is always non-positive on minimal hypersurfaces of constant curvature spaces and vanishes identically if and only if the hypersurface is rotational. We show this for hypersurfaces of 5-dimensional spaces of constant curvature but we conjecture that this should generalize to a similar result in other dimensions.
