In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the hypersurface Mn in the Euclidean (n + 1)-space ℝn+1 that satisfies an equation of mean curvature type, called singular minimal hypersurface equation. Such an equation physically characterizes the surfaces in the upper half-space ℝ+3 (u) with lowest gravity center, for a fixed unit vector u ∈ ℝ3. We first state that a singular minimal cylinder Mn in ℝn+1 is either a hyperplane or a α-catenary cylinder. It is also shown that this result remains true when Mn is a translation hypersurface and u is a horizantal vector. As a further application, we prove that a singular minimal translation graph in ℝ3 of the form z = f(x) + g(y + cx), c ∈ ℝ - {0}, with respect to a certain horizantal vector u is either a plane or a α-catenary cylinder.

The shape operator or second fundamental tensor of a real hypersurface in $M_n(c)$ will be denoted by A, and the induced almost contact metric structure of the real hypersurface by (${\phi}$, <, >,${\xi}$, ${\eta}$). The purpose of this paper is to prove that is no ruled real hypersurface M in a complex space form $M_n(c)$, $c{\neq}0$, $n{\geq}3$, who satisfies $R_{\xi}{\phi}={\phi}R_{\xi}$ on M.

In this paper, we study lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Sasakian manifold $\bar{M}$. First, we construct a type of lightlike hypersurface according to the form of the structure vector field of $\bar{M}$, named by ascreen lightlike hypersurface. Next, we characterize the geometry of such ascreen lightlike hypersurfaces.

In this paper we consider a real hypersurface M in complex hyperbolic space $H_n\mathbb{C}$ satisfying $S{\phi}A\;=\;{\phi}AS$, where $\phi$, A and S denote the structure tensor, the shape operator and the Ricci tensor of M respectively. Moreover, we give a characterization of real hypersurfaces of type A in $H_n\mathbb{C}$ by such a commuting Ricci tensor.

We prove that a real hypersurface M in a complex space form Mn(c), $c{\neq}0$, whose Ricci operator and structure tensor commute each other on the holomorphic distribution and the Ricci operator is ${\eta}-parallel$, is a Hopf hypersurface. We also give a characterization of this hypersurface.

We study lightlike hypersurfaces of a semi-Riemannian space form $\tilde{M}(c)$ admitting a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. First, we construct a type of lightlike hypersurfaces according to the form of the structure vector field of $\tilde{M}(c)$, which is called a ascreen lightlike hypersurface. Next, we prove a characterization theorem for such an ascreen lightlike hypersurface endow with a totally geodesic screen distribution.

In this paper we give an upper bound of the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator on a complete stable minimal hypersurface M in the hyperbolic space which has finite $L^2$-norm of the second fundamental form on M. We provide some sufficient conditions for minimal hypersurface of the hyperbolic space to be stable. We also describe stability of catenoids and helicoids in the hyperbolic space. In particular, it is shown that there exists a family of stable higher-dimensional catenoids in the hyperbolic space.

In this article, we apply the weak maximum principle in order to obtain a suitable characterization of the complete linearWeingarten hypersurfaces immersed in locally symmetric Riemannian manifold $N^{n+1}$. Under the assumption that the mean curvature attains its maximum and supposing an appropriated restriction on the norm of the traceless part of the second fundamental form, we prove that such a hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or hypersurface is an isoparametric hypersurface with two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple.

On a compact n-dimensional manifold $M^n$, a critical point of the total scalar curvature functional, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of volume 1, satifies the critical point equation (CPE), given by $Z_g\;=\;s_g^{1\ast}(f)$. It has been conjectured that a solution (g, f) of CPE is Einstein. The purpose of the present paper is to prove that every compact stable minimal hypersurface is in a certain hypersurface of $M^n$ under an assumption that Ker($s_g^{1\ast}{\neq}0$).
