Soit Σ 2 une surface immergée dans M 2 (c)× avec une courbure moyenne constante. Nous considérons l’opérateur de Weingarten à trace nulle φ associé à la seconde forme fondamentale de la surface et nous introduisons un tenseur S, liés à la forme quadratique de Abresch-Rosenberg. Nous établissons les équations de type Simons pour φ et S. En utilisant ces équations, nous caractérisons les immersions pour lesquelles |φ| ou |S| sont bornés.

Let Σ 2 be an immersed surface in M 2 (c)× with constant mean curvature. We consider the traceless Weingarten operator φ associated to the second fundamental form of the surface, and we introduce a tensor S, related to the Abresch-Rosenberg quadratic differential form. We establish equations of Simons type for both φ and S. By using these equations, we characterize some immersions for which |φ| or |S| is appropriately bounded.
