This work presents a brief study on minimal isometric immersions in the hyperbolic space . Our goal is to demonstrate Simons' formula for the Laplacian of the second fundamental form norm and to use this formula to prove rigidity theorems that determine under what conditions a minimal submanifold of the hyperbolic space is totally geodesic. In addition, one also will define the concept of superstability on minimal submanifolds and use Simons' formula to prove estimates for the first eigenvalue of the stability operator of these minimal embeddings.
