Some aspects of the global geometry of entire space-like submanifolds. (English) Zbl 0998.53036

Let \(M\) be an \(m\)-dimensional closed space-like submanifold in an \((m+n)\)-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space \(R_n^{m+n}\). The authors prove that if \(M\) has parallel mean curvature and has bounded Gauss image, then \(M\) is a linear subspace.
