Definition of mean curvature

edit

I think it is important to point out that the definition of mean curvature for the Hawking mass should be   where   is the second fundamental form of  . In the linked Wikipedia article the mean curvature is defined as  . Only with the former definiton one obtains that the Hawking mass of a sphere of Radius   has Hawking mass equal to   in the Schwarzschild metric.
