Uniqueness of Spacelike Hypersurfaces in a GRW Spacetime via Higher Order Mean Curvatures

Abstract

We study the problem of uniqueness concerning complete spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a generalized Robertson–Walker (GRW) spacetime, whose fiber obeys suitable curvature constraints. In this setting, we apply some maximum principles in order to guarantee that such a spacelike hypersurface must be a slice of the ambient space, provided that some of their higher order mean curvatures satisfies appropriated controls. Furthermore, we also establish nonparametric results concerning entire spacelike graphs in GRW spacetimes.
