Abstract

We prove some pinching results for the extrinsic radius of compact hypersurfaces in space forms. In the hyperbolic space, we show that if the volume of M is 1, then there exists a constant C depending on the dimension of M   and the L∞L∞-norm of the second fundamental form B   such that the pinching condition tanh(R)<1‖H‖∞+C (where H is the mean curvature) implies that M is diffeomorphic to an n  -dimensional sphere. We prove the corresponding result for hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space and the sphere with the LpLp-norm of H  , p⩾2p⩾2, instead of the L∞L∞-norm.
