In many ways hypersurfaces with null r-th curvature function H r behave much like the minimal ones (H 1 = 0).One such manifestation is the following result to be proved in this paper, which extends to scalar-flat hypersurfaces (H 2 = 0) a well-known theorem of R. Schoen.Theorem.The only complete scalar-flat embeddings M n ⊂ R n+1 , free of flat points, which are regular at infinity and have two ends, are the hypersurfaces of revolution.
