Umbilicity and characterization of Pansu spheres in the Heisenberg group

Jih-Hsin Cheng, Hung-Lin Chiu, Jenn-Fang Hwang, Paul Yang

Published 2014-06-10, updated 2015-04-20Version 2

For $n\geq 2$ we define a notion of umbilicity for hypersurfaces in the Heisenberg group $H_{n}$. We classify umbilic hypersurfaces in some cases, and prove that Pansu spheres are the only umbilic spheres with positive constant $p$(or horizontal)-mean curvature in $H_{n}$ up to Heisenberg translations.
