Summary:
In this paper we study the topological and metric rigidity of hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb H}^{n+1}$, the $(n+1)$-dimensional hyperbolic space of sectional curvature $-1$. We find conditions to ensure a complete connected oriented hypersurface in ${\mathbb H}^{n+1}$ to be diffeomorphic to a Euclidean sphere. We also give sufficient conditions for a complete connected oriented closed hypersurface with constant norm of the second fundamental form to be totally umbilic.
