Graphic Bernstein results in curved pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. (English) Zbl 1173.53031
The classical Bernstein theorem has been generalized to graphic hypersurfaces of $$\mathbb R^{m+1}$$ for $$m\leq 7$$, and for higher dimensions and codimensions under various growth conditions. In the paper [J. Geom. Phys. 59, No. 5, 620–631 (2009; Zbl 1173.53025)], A. Albujer and L. Alias have proved a new Calabi-Bernstein-type result for surfaces immersed into a Lorentzian product 3-manifold of the form $$\Sigma_1\times\mathbb R$$, where $$\Sigma_1$$ is a Riemannian surface of nonnegative Gauss curvature. In this paper the authors generalize this result to space-like graphic submanifolds with parallel mean curvature in a non-flat pseudo-Riemannian product space of any dimension $$m+n$$ and under less restrictive curvature condition.
