## Hypersurface in hyperbolic space and conformal metric on Sphere

Suppose $\Omega$ is a domain in $\mathbb{S}^n$, $g=e^{2\rho}g_0$, where $g_0$ is the standard metric on $\mathbb{S}^n$. One can construct a hypersurface in hyperboloid $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}\subset \mathbb{L}^{n+2}$ by

$\phi(x)=\frac{1}{2}(1+\sigma^2+|\nabla^0\sigma|^2)\psi(x)-\sigma(0,x)-(0,\nabla^0 \sigma)$

where $\sigma=e^{-\rho}$ and $\psi=e^{\rho}(1,x)=\sigma^{-1}(1,x)$. What are the induced metric on $\phi$? One can calculate as the following,

Suppose $u\in T_x\Omega$ is a unit eigenvector associated to the eigenvalue $s$ of $Hess(\sigma)_x$. We need to calculate $d\psi_x(u)$. Firstly it is easy to see

$d\psi_x(u)=-\sigma^{-1}u(\sigma)\psi+\sigma^{-1}(0,u)$

and

$d(\nabla^0 \sigma)_x(u)=\ \nabla_u^0\nabla^0 \sigma+(d \nabla^0\sigma_{x}(u))^{\perp}=Hess(\sigma)_x(u)+\langle d \nabla^0\sigma_{x}(u),x\rangle x$
$= \ su-\langle\nabla^0\sigma_{x},u\rangle x= \ su-u(\sigma)x$

Then

$d\phi_x(u)=u(\sigma)\sigma \psi+\frac{1}{2}u(|\nabla \sigma|^2)\psi+\frac{1}{2}(1+\sigma^2+|\nabla \sigma|^2)d\psi_x(u)-\sigma(0,u)-(0,su)$

So this gives the following formula

$d\phi_x(u)=\ \left(\frac{1}{2}-\lambda\right)d\psi_x(u).$

where $\lambda=s\sigma+\frac{1}{2}(\sigma^2-|\nabla^0\sigma|^2)$. Suppose $u_i$ is the eigenvector corresponding to $s_i$ and $u_i,i=1,\cdots, n$ are orthonormal basis, then

$\ll d\phi_x(u_i),d\phi_x(u_j)\gg=\left(\frac{1}{2}-\lambda_{i}\right)\left(\frac{1}{2}-\lambda_{j}\right)\frac{1}{\sigma^{2}}\delta_{ij}$

where $\lambda_i=s_i\sigma+\frac{1}{2}(\sigma^2-|\nabla^0\sigma|^2)$. Recall that Schouten tensor has the following formula under conformal change,

$Sch_g=Sch_0+d\rho\otimes d\rho-\nabla^{2}_0\rho-\frac{1}{2}|\nabla^0\rho|^2g_0$

$=\frac{1}{2}g_0+\frac{1}{\sigma}\nabla_0^2\sigma-\frac{1}{\sigma^2}|\nabla_0\sigma|^2$

for $g=e^{2\rho}g_0$ and $Sch_0=\frac{1}{2}g_0$. Therefore the eigenvalues of $Sch_g$ are $\lambda_i$.

$\ll d\phi,d\phi\gg=\left(\frac{1}{2}g-Sch_g\right)^2{\sigma^{2}}\delta_{ij}$
