GARAY Received 29 April 2003 We completely classify constant mean curvature hypersurfaces (CMC) with con- stant δ-invariant in the unit 4-sphere S4 and in the Euclidean 4-space E4 . 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 53C40, 53B25, 53C42. 1. Introduction. A hypersurface in the unit round sphere Sn+1 is called isoparametric if it has constant principal curvatures. It is known from [ 1] that an isoparametric hypersurface in S4 is either an open portion of a 3-sphere or an open portion of the product of a circle and a 2-sphere, or an open por- tion of a tube of constant radius over the Veronese embedding. Because every isoparametric hypersurface in S4 has constant mean curvature (CMC) and con- stant scalar curvature, it is interesting to determine all hypersurfaces with CMC and constant scalar curvature. In [2], it was proved that a closed hypersurface with CMC and constant scalar curvature in S4 is isoparametric. Furthermore, complete hypersurfaces with CMC and constant scalar curvature in S4 4 or in E have been completely classified in [9]. For each Riemannian n-manifold M n with n ≥ 3, the first author defined in [3, 4] the Riemannian invariant δ on M by δ(p) = τ(p) −inf K(p), (1.1) where τ = K(e ∧e ) is the scalar curvature and inf K is the function as- ij i j signing to each p ∈ M n the infimum of K(π), π running over all planes in T M .
