This paper is devoted to study Ricci semi-symmetric lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite cosymplectic space form with structure vector field tangent to hypersurface. The condition for Ricci tensor of lightlike hypersurface of indefinite cosymplectic space form to be semi-symmetric and parallel have been obtained. An example of non-totally geodesic Ricci semi-symmetric lightlike hypersurface in $R^7_2$ have been given.

This note provides a study of lightlike hypersurfaces of a generalized Robertson-Walker(GRW) space-time with a certain screen distribution, which are integrable and have good properties. Focus is to investigate geometric features from the relation of the second fundamental forms between lightlike hypersurfaces and leaves of the integrable screen distribution. Also, we shall apply those results on lightlike hypersurfaces of a GRW space-time to lightlike hypersurfaces of a Robertson-Walker(RW) space-time.

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.

In this note, we investigate stable minimal hypersurfaces with weighted Poincar$\acute{e}$ inequality. We show that we still get the vanishing property without assuming that the hypersurfaces is non-totally geodesic. This generalizes a result in [2].

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).

Let M be a minimally immersed closed hypersurface in $S^{n+1}$, II the second fundamental form and $S = \Vert II \Vert^2$. It is well known that if $0 \leq S \leq n$, then $S \equiv 0$ or $S \equiv n$ and totally geodesic hypersheres and Clifford tori are the only possible minimal hypersurfaces with $S \equiv 0$ or $S \equiv n$ ([6], [2]). From these results, Chern suggested some questions on the study of compact minimal hypersurfaces on the sphere with S =constant: what are the next possible values of S to n, and does in the ambient sphere\ulcorner By the way, S is defined extrinsically but, in fact, it is an intrinsic invariant for the minimal hypersurface, i.e., S = n(n-1) - R, where R is the scalar, curvature of M. Some partial answers have been obtained for dim M = 3: Assuming $M^3 \subset S^4$ is closed and minimal with S =constant, de Almeida and Brito [1] proved that if $R \geq 0$ (or equivalently $S \leq 6$), then S = 0, 3 or 6, Peng and Terng ([5]) proved that if M has 3 distint principal curvatures, then S = 6, and in [3] Chang showed that if there exists a point which has two distinct principal curvatures, then S = 3. Hence the problem for dim M = 3 is completely done. For higher dimensional cases, not much has been known and these problems seem to be very hard without imposing some more conditions on M.

In this paper we give a new characterization of real hypersurfaces of type B, that is, a tube over a totally geodesic $\mathbb{Q}P^n$ in complex two-plane Grassmannians $G_2(\mathbb{C}^{m+2})$, where m = 2n, with the Reeb vector $\xi$ belonging to the distribution $\mathfrak{D}$, where $\mathfrak{D}$ denotes a subdistribution in the tangent space $T_xM$ such that $T_xM$ = $\mathfrak{D}{\bigoplus}\mathfrak{D}^{\bot}$ for any point $x{\in}M$ and $\mathfrak{D}^{\bot}=Span{\xi_1,\;\xi_2,\;\xi_3}$.
