Abstract

Let Nn+p q(c) be an (n+p)-dimensional connected indefinite space form of index q(1 ? q ? p) and of constant curvature c. Denote by ? : M ? Nn+p q (c) the n-dimensional spacelike submanifold in Nn+p q (c), ? : M ? Nn+p q(c) is called a Willmore spacelike submanifold in Nn+p q(c) if it is a critical submanifold to the Willmore functional W(?) = ?q M ?n dv =?M (S-nH2)n/2 dv, where S and H denote the norm square of the second fundamental form and the mean curvature of M and ?2 = S ? nH2. If q = p, in [14], we proved some integral inequalities of Simons? type and rigidity theorems for n-dimensional Willmore spacelike submanifolds in a Lorentzian space form Nn+p q(c). In this paper, we continue to study this topic and prove some integral inequalities of Simons? type and rigidity theorems for n-dimensional Willmore spacelike submanifolds in an indefinite space form Nn+p q(c) (1 ? q ? p).
