A note on the nonexistence of spacelike hypersurfaces with polynomial volume growth immersed in a Lorentzian space form

Abstract

We obtain nonexistence results concerning complete noncompact spacelike hypersurfaces with polynomial volume growth immersed in a Lorentzian space form, under the assumption that the support functions with respect to a fixed nonzero vector are linearly related. Our approach is based on a suitable maximum principle recently established by Alías, Caminha and do Nascimento [3].
