Description
Summary:This work does study the complete minimal hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space R4 , with Gauss-Kronecker curvature identically zero. Our main result is to prove that if f: M3 → R4 is a complete minimal hypersurface with Gauss-Kronecker curvature identically zero, nowhere vanishing second fundamental form and scalar curvature boun-ded from below, then f(M3) splits as a Euclidean product L2 × R , where L2 is a complete minimal surface in R3 with Gaussian curvature bounded from below. Moreover, we show a result about the Gauss-Kronecker curvature of f, without any assumption on the scalar curvature.
