Abstract: This paper investigates compact Riemannian hypersurfaces immersed in ( n + 1 ) -dimensional Riemannian or Lorentzian manifolds that admit concircular vector fields, also known as closed conformal vector fields (CCVFs). We focus on the support function of the hypersurface, which is defined as the component of the conformal vector field along the unit-normal vector field, and derive an expression for its Laplacian. Using this, we establish integral formulae for hypersurfaces admitting CCVFs. These results are then extended to compact Riemannian hypersurfaces isometrically immersed in Riemannian or Lorentzian manifolds with constant sectional curvatures, highlighting the crucial role of CCVFs in the study of hypersurfaces. We apply these results to provide characterizations of compact Riemannian hypersurfaces in Euclidean space R n + 1 , Euclidean sphere S n + 1 , and de Sitter space S 1 n + 1 .
