The Mobius invariants of x under the Mobius transformation group of S^n+1 are Mobius metric, Mobius form, Mobius second fundamental form and Blaschke tensor. In this paper, we prove the following theorem: Let x : M→S^n+1 (n≥2) be an umbilic free hypersurface in S^n+1 with nonnegative Mobius sectional curvature and with vanishing Mobius form. Then x is locally Mobius equivalent to one of the following hypersurfaces: (i) the torus S^k(a) × S^n-k(√1- a^2) with 1 ≤ k ≤ n - 1; (ii) the pre-image of the stereographic projection of the standard cylinder S^k × R^n-k belong to R^n+1 with 1 ≤ k ≤ n- 1; (iii) the pre-image of the stereographic projection of the Cone in R^n+1 : -↑x(u, v, t) = (tu, tv), where (u,v, t)∈S^k(a) × S^n-k-1( √1-a^2)× R^+.展开更多

In this paper, under the condition of having constant MSbius principal curvatures, we show that the hypersurface is of vanishing MSbius form if and only if its MSbius form is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita connection of its MSbius metric. Moreover, typical examples are constructed to show that the condition of having constant MSbius principal curvatures and that of having vanishing MSbius form are independent of each other.展开更多

Then the classification of Blaschke isoparametric hypersurfaces is natural and interesting in the MSbius geometry of submanifolds. When n = 4, the corresponding classification theorem was given by the authors. In this paper, we are able to complete the corresponding classification for n = 5. In particular, we shall prove that all the Blaschke isoparametric hypersurfaces in S^5 with more than two distinct Blaschke eigenvalues are necessarily Mobius isoparametric.展开更多
