Abstract

Let $x$ be an $m$-dimensional umbilic-free hypersurface in an $(m+1)$-dimensional unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{m+1} (m \geq 4)$. There are four basic Möbius invariants of $x$, i.e. Möbius metric $\mathbf{g}$, Möbius form $\Phi$, Blaschke tensor $\mathbf{A}$ and Möbius second fundamental form $\mathbf{B}$. The eigenvalues of $\mathbf{B}$ are called Möbius principal curvatures. In this paper, we study hypersurfaces with closed Möbius form and three distinct constant Möbius principal curvatures, and give the Classification Theorem. Moreover, we give new Willmore hypersurfaces, which can be seen that they aren’t Cartan minimal or Möbius isoparametric hypersurfaces.
