Spacelike Two-Surfaces in Static Multiply Warped Product Spacetimes

S. Haesen

After a brief summary of the geometry of static multiply warped product spacetimes, inequalities are given relating the Gaussian curvature of spacelike two-surfaces in these spacetimes with some principal sectional curvatures of the embedding space. Extremal and geodesic surfaces are respectively characterized if equality holds in an appropriate inequality.
