On the Geometry of Complete Spacelike LW-Submanifolds in Locally Symmetric Semi-Riemannian Spaces

Let $M^{n}$ be an $n$-dimensional complete spacelike linear Weingarten submanifold immersed in a locally symmetric semi-Riemannian space $\mathbb{L}_{q}^{n+p}$ of index $q$, with parallel normalized mean curvature vector field and flat normal bundle. Assuming that $M^{n}$ satisfies suitable curvature constraints, we investigate rigidity results for such submanifolds. By combining a Simons-type formula for spacelike submanifolds with analytic techniques involving the Cheng-Yau modified operator $\mathcal{L}$, we establish sharp inequalities relating the traceless second fundamental form and the gradient of the mean curvature. As applications, we obtain several characterization results showing that $M^{n}$ must be either totally umbilical or isoparametric. More precisely, we derive rigidity results under three distinct frameworks: via the Omori-Yau maximum principle, via the $\mathcal{L}$-parabolicity of the underlying manifold, and under an integrability condition on the gradient of the mean curvature. These results generalize and unify known classification theorems for spacelike submanifolds satisfying linear Weingarten relations in semi-Riemannian ambient spaces.
