A Class of Complete Hypersurfaces Immersed in Semi-Riemannian Warped Product Spaces

Abstract:

      We deal with complete hypersurfaces immersed in a semi-Riemannian warped product of the type $\epsilon\textit{I}\times _{f}M^{n}$, where $M^{n}$ is a connected $n$-dimensional oriented Riemannian manifold. When the fiber $M^{n}$ is complete with sectional curvature $-k\leq K_{M}$ for some positive constant $k$, under appropriate restrictions on the norm of the gradient of the height function $h$, we proceed with our technique in order to guarantee that complete hypersurface immersed in a semi-Riemannian warped product is a slice. Our approach is based on the well known generalized maximum principle and another suitable maximum principle at the infinity due to Yau.
