Abstract

Complete spacelike surfaces with constant mean curvature (CMC) and bounded hyperbolic angle in Generalized Robertson–Walker (GRW) spacetimes, obeying certain natural curvature assumptions, are studied. This boundedness assumption arises as a natural extension of the notion of bounded hyperbolic image of a spacelike surface in the 3-dimensional Lorentz–Minkowski spacetime. The results obtained apply to complete CMC spacelike surfaces lying between two spacelike slices in an GRW spacetime, in the steady state spacetime and in a static GRW spacetime. As an application, uniqueness and non-existence theorems for certain CMC spacelike surface differential equations in a wide family of open GRW spacetimes are given.
