✦ Synopsis
In this paper, we develop a series of general integral formulae for compact spacelike hypersurfaces with hyperplanar boundary in the (n + 1)-dimensional Minkowski space-time L n+1 . As an application of them, we prove that the only compact spacelike hypersurfaces in L n+1 having constant higher order mean curvature and spherical boundary are the hyperplanar balls (with zero higher order mean curvature) and the hyperbolic caps (with nonzero constant higher order mean curvature). This extends previous results obtained by the first author, jointly with Pastor, for the case of constant mean curvature [

We study compact spacelike hypersurfaces (necessarily with non-empty boundary) with constant mean curvature in the (n + 1)-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski space. In particular, when the boundary is a round sphere we prove that the only such hypersurfaces are the hyperplanar round balls (with zero mean
It is shown that a compact spacelike hypersurface which is contained in the chronological future (or past) of an equator of de Sitter space is a totally umbilical round sphere if one of the mean curvatures H l does not vanish and the ratio H k /H l is constant for some k, l, 1 ≤ l < k ≤ n. This exte
