Here Sr , r = 1, . . . , n, is the r th-symmetric function of the principal curvatures of the immersion and L1 is the linearized operator corresponding to the equation of hypersurfaces of Sn+1 with S2 ≡ 0. The proof of Lemma 4.1 presented in [AdCS] is incorrect. We had set N = ∑n+2 i=1 niei , where {e1, . . . , en+2} is an orthonormal basis of Rn+2 and N is the unit normal vector to the immersion of M → Sn+1 ⊂ Rn+2. By assuming the index of I is greater than one and noticing that I (ni, ni) ≤ 0, we concluded that all ni but one were zero. This is not true. Replace the proof of the lemma by the following.
