Abstract

We study immersed, connected, umbilic hypersurfaces in the Heisenberg group H_n with n≥ 2. We show that such a hypersurface, if closed, must be rotationally invariant up to a Heisenberg translation. Moreover, we prove that, among others, Pansu spheres are the only such spheres with positive constant sigma-k curvature up to Heisenberg translations.
