  • Description: We study hypersurfaces either in the sphere Sn+1 or in the hyperbolic space ℍn+1 whose position vector x satisfies the condition Lkx = Ax + b, where Lk is the linearized operator of the (k + 1)-th mean curvature of the hypersurface for a fixed k = 0, . . . , n - 1, A ∊ ℝ(n+2)×(n+2) is a constant matrix and b ∊ ℝn+2 is a constant vector. For every k, we prove that when A is self-adjoint and b = 0, the only hypersurfaces satisfying that condition are hypersurfaces with zero (k + 1)-th mean curvature and constant k-th mean curvature, and open pieces of standard Riemannian products of the form ${S^m}\left( {\sqrt {1 - {r^2}} } \right) \times {S^{n - m}}\left( r \right) \subset {S^{n + 1}}$ with 0 r 1, and ${H^m}\left( {\sqrt {1 - {r^2}} } \right) \times {S^{n - m}}\left( r \right) \subset {H^{n + 1}}$ with r > 0. If Hk is constant, we also obtain a classification result for the case where b ≠ 0.
