The ordinary mean curvature vector field 𝗛 on a submanifold M of a space form is said to be proper if it satisfies equality Δ𝗛 = a𝗛 for a constant real number a. It is proven that every hypersurface of an Riemannian space form with proper mean curvature vector field has constant mean curvature. In this manuscript, we study the Lorentzian hypersurfaces with proper second mean curvature vector field of four dimensional Lorentzian space forms. We show that the scalar curvature of such a hypersurface has to be constant. In addition, as a classification result, we show that each Lorentzian hypersurface of a Lorentzian 4-space form with proper second mean curvature vector field is C-biharmonic, C-1-type or C-null-2-type. Also, we prove that every 𝗛₂-proper Lorentzian hypersurface with constant ordinary mean curvature in a Lorentz 4-space form is 1-minimal.

In this paper we address focal points and treat manifolds (M, g) whose Lorentzian metric tensors g have a spacelike $C^{0}$-hypersurface $\Sigma$ [10]. We apply Jacobi fields for such manifolds, and check the local length maximizing properties of $C^1$-geodesics. The condition of maximality of timelike curves(geodesics) passing $C^{0}$-hypersurface is studied.ied.

In the present paper, screen isotropic leaves on lightlike hypersurfaces of a Lorentzian manifold are introduced and studied which are inspired by the definition of isotropic immersions in the Riemannian context. Some examples of such leaves are mentioned. Furthermore, some relations involving curvature invariants are obtained.

We define two types of null hypersurfaces as; isoparametric and quasi isoparametric null hypersurfaces of Lorentzian space forms, based on the two shape operators associated with a null hypersurface. We prove that; on any screen conformal isoparametric null hypersurface, the screen geodesics lie on circles in the ambient space. Furthermore, we prove that the screen distributions of isoparametric (or quasi isoparametric) null hypersurfaces with at most two principal curvatures are generally Riemannian products. Several examples are also given to illustrate the main concepts.

We use the so-called pseudoinversion of degenerate metrics technique on foliated compact null hypersurface, $M^{n+1}$, in Lorentzian manifold ${\overline{M}}^{n+2}$, to derive an integral formula involving the r-th order mean curvatures of its foliations, ${\mathcal{F}}^n$. We apply our formula to minimal foliations, showing that, under certain geometric conditions, they are isomorphic to n-dimensional spheres. We also use the formula to deduce expressions for total mean curvatures of such foliations.

In this paper, we investigate k-Ricci curvature and k-scalar curvature on lightlike hypersurfaces of a real space form ${\tilde{M}}$(c) of constant sectional curvature c, endowed with semi-symmetric non-metric connection. Using this curvatures, we establish some inequalities for screen homothetic lightlike hypersurface of a real space form ${\tilde{M}}$(c) of constant sectional curvature c, endowed with semi-symmetric non-metric connection. Using these inequalities, we obtain some characterizations for such hypersurfaces. Considering the equality case, we obtain some results.

We determine maximal space-like hypersurfaces which are the images of subbundles of the normal bundle of m-dimensional totally geodesic space-like submanifolds of an (m + 2)-dimensional Lorentzian space form $\tilde{M}_1^{m+2}$(c) under the normal exponential map. Then we construct examples of maximal space-like hypersurfaces of $\tilde{M}_1^{m+2}$(c).

We prove that a Lorentzian concircular structure (LCS)-manifold does not admit any null hypersurface which is tangential or transversal to its characteristic vector field. Due to the above, we focus on its ascreen null hypersurfaces and show that such hypersurfaces admit a symmetric Ricci tensor. Furthermore, we prove that there are no totally geodesic ascreen null hypersurfaces of a conformally flat (LCS)-manifold.

We study Einstein lightlike hypersurfaces M of a Lorentzian space form $\tilde{M}(c)$ admitting a semi-symmetric non-metric connection subject to the conditions; (1) M is screen conformal and (2) the structure vector field ${\zeta}$ of $\tilde{M}$ belongs to the screen distribution S(TM). The main result is a characterization theorem for such a lightlike hypersurface.

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.
