Abstract
In the present paper, we show that the geometry of a screen integrablenull hypersurface can be generated from an isometric immersion of a leafof its screen distribution into the ambient space. We prove, under certaingeometric conditions, that such immersions are contained in semi-Euclidean spheres or hyperbolic spaces, and the underlying null hypersurfaces are necessarily umbilic and screen totally umbilic. Where necessary, the examplesare given to illustrate the main ideas.
