Complete space-like submanifolds in a de Sitter space with parallel mean curvature vector. (English) Zbl 0695.53042
We show that a complete space-like submanifold in a de Sitter space with parallel mean curvature vector is totally umbilical if the following are satisfied: 1) $$H^ 2\leq c$$, when $$n=2$$; 2) $$n^ 2H^ 2<4(n-1)c$$, when $$n\geq 3$$, where H is mean curvature. Conditions 1) and 2) are best possible.
