Abstract

For every n ≥ 2 we define a notion of umbilicity for hypersurfaces in the Heisenberg group Hn. We classify umbilic hypersurfaces in some cases, and prove that Pansu spheres are the only umbilic spheres with positive constant p-mean (or horizontal-mean) curvature in Hn up to Heisenberg translations.
