Biharmonic conjectures on hypersurfaces in a space form. (English) Zbl 07772564

Summary: We apply the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule in the representation theory of symmetric groups to develop new techniques for studying biharmonic hypersurfaces in a space form. As applications of the new techniques, we settle the well-known Chen’s conjecture on biharmonic hypersurfaces in \(\mathbb{R}^6\) and BMO conjecture on biharmonic hypersurfaces in \(\mathbb{S}^6\).
