A characterization of geodesic spheres in the simply connected space forms in terms of the ratio of the Gauss-Kronecker curvature and the (usual) mean curvature is given: An immersion of n dimensional compact oriented manifold without boundary into the n + 1 dimensional Euclidean space, hyperbolic space or open half sphere is a totally umbilicimmersion if the mean curvature $H_1$ does not vanish and the ratio $H_n$/$H_1$ of the Gauss-Kronecker curvature $H_n$ and $H_1$ is constant.

In this paper, we study complete maximal space-like hypersurfaces with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature in an antide Sitter space $H_1^4(-1)$. It is proved that complete maximal spacelike hypersurfaces with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature in an anti-de Sitter space $H_1^4(-1)$ are isometric to the hyperbolic cylinder $H^2(c1){\times}H^1(c2)$ with S = 3 or they satisfy $S{\leq}2$, where S denotes the squared norm of the second fundamental form.

We introduce the rotational hypersurface x = x(u, v, s, t) constructed by double rotation in five dimensional Euclidean space 𝔼⁵. We reveal the first and the second fundamental form matrices, Gauss map, shape operator matrix of x. Additionally, defining the i-th curvatures of any hypersurface via Cayley-Hamilton theorem, we compute the curvatures of the rotational hypersurface x. We give some relations of the mean and Gauss-Kronecker curvatures of x. In addition, we reveal Δx=𝓐x, where 𝓐 is the 5 × 5 matrix in 𝔼⁵.

We establish a characterization theorem of elliptic paraboloids in the (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ with extrinsic properties such as the (n+1)-dimensional volumes of regions enclosed by the hyperplanes and hypersurfaces, and the n-dimensional areas of projections of the sections of hypersurfaces cut off by hyperplanes.

Suppose that M is a strictly convex hypersurface in the (n + 1)-dimensional Euclidean space 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ with the origin o in its convex side and with the outward unit normal N. For a fixed point p ∈ M and a positive constant t, we put 𝚽_t the hyperplane parallel to the tangent hyperplane 𝚽 at p and passing through the point q = p - tN(p). We consider the region cut from M by the parallel hyperplane 𝚽_t, and denote by I_p(t) the (n + 1)-dimensional volume of the convex hull of the region and the origin o. Then Schneider's characterization theorem for ellipsoids states that among centrally symmetric, strictly convex and closed surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space 𝔼³, the ellipsoids are the only ones satisfying I_p(t) = 𝜙(p)t, where 𝜙 is a function defined on M. Recently, the characterization theorem was extended to centrally symmetric, strictly convex and closed hypersurfaces in 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ satisfying for a constant 𝛽, I_p(t) = 𝜙(p)t^𝛽. In this paper, we study the volume I_p(t) of a strictly convex and complete hypersurface in 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ with the origin o in its convex side. As a result, first of all we extend the characterization theorem to strictly convex and closed (not necessarily centrally symmetric) hypersurfaces in 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ satisfying I_p(t) = 𝜙(p)t^𝛽. After that we generalize the characterization theorem to strictly convex and complete (not necessarily closed) hypersurfaces in 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ satisfying I_p(t) = 𝜙(p)t^𝛽.
