Abstract
In this paper, we calculate the Laplacian of the norm of the cubic Simon form for a hypersurface with a relative normalization. The method used here is developed in the rigidity theory of minimal submanifolds. As consequences, we obtain some local and global rigidity theorems about relative Tchebychev hypersurfaces.
