Minimal Hypersurfaces in Hyperbolic Spaces

In this paper, we reprove a theorem of M. Anderson [Invent. Math., 69 （1982）, pp. 477-494] which established the existence of a minimal hypersurface in the hyperbolic space with prescribed asymptotic boundary with non-negative mean curvature in the non-parametric case. We use the mean curvature flow method.

Minimal Translation Hypersurfaces in Euclidean Space

The graph of a function f defined in some open set of the Euclidean space of dimension (p + q) is said to be a translation graph if f may be expressed as the sum of two independent functions ? and ψ defined in open sets of the Euclidean spaces of dimension p and q, respectively. We obtain a useful expression for the mean curvature of the graph of f in terms of the Laplacian, the gradient of ? and ψ as well as of the mean curvatures of their graphs. We study translation graphs having zero mean curvature, that is, minimal translation graphs, by imposing natural conditions on ? and ψ, like harmonicity, minimality and eikonality (constant norm of the gradient), giving several examples as well as characterization results.     

Complete Minimal Hypersurfaces in a Sphere

In this paper we investigate complete minimal hypersurfaces with at most two principal curvatures. We prove that if the squared norm S of the second fundamental form satisfies S ≥ n, then S = n and f(Mⁿ) is a minimal Clifford torus.

Minimal Determinants and Lattice Inequalities

Some results of P. McMullen on determinants of sublattices ofZ^d induced by rational subspaces are generalized to arbitrarylattices. As an application, we obtain an equality for the minimaldeterminants introduced by J. M. Wills, namely D_t(L) = D_d(L)D_d–1((L*).Using an inequality of Lagarias, Lenstra and Schnorr, we generalizetwo isoperimetric inequalities withlattice constraints by Bokowski,Hadwiger and Wills, and Hadwiger, respectively, to arbitrarylattices.

On Deformable Minimal Hypersurfaces in Space Forms

The aim of this paper is to complete the local classification of minimal hypersurfaces with vanishing Gauss–Kronecker curvature in a 4-dimensional space form. Moreover, we give a classification of complete minimal hypersurfaces with vanishing Gauss–Kronecker curvature and scalar curvature bounded from below.

Homological Invariance For Asymptotic Invariants and Systolic Inequalities

We show that the systolic constant, the minimal volume entropy, and the spherical volume of a manifold depend only on the image of the fundamental class under the classifying map of the universal covering. Moreover, we compute the systolic constant of manifolds with fundamental group of order two (modulo the value for the real projective space) and derive an inequality between the minimal volume entropy and the systolic constant.

Projection with a Minimal System of Inequalities

Projection of a polyhedron involves the use of a cone whose extreme rays induce the inequalities defining the projection. These inequalities need not be facet defining. We introduce a transformation that produces a cone whose extreme rays induce facets of the projection.     

Curvature Estimates for Stable Minimal Hypersurfaces in R4 and R5

We obtain curvature estimates for certain stable minimalhypersurfaces in R ⁴ and R ⁵without using volume bounds. It follows that if M is acomplete stable minimal hypersurface in R ⁴ orR ⁵, then M is a hyperplane whenM intersects each extrinsic ball in, at most,N-components.     

Weakly Convex Biharmonic Hypersurfaces in Nonpositive Curvature Space Forms are Minimal

A submanifold M ^m of a Euclidean space R ^m+p is said to have harmonic mean curvature vector field if ${\Delta \vec{H}=0}$ , where ${\vec{H}}$ is the mean curvature vector field of ${M\hookrightarrow R^{m+p}}$ and Δ is the rough Laplacian on M. There is a famous conjecture named after Bangyen Chen which states that submanifolds of Euclidean spaces with harmonic mean curvature vector fields are minimal. In this paper we prove that weakly convex hypersurfaces (i.e. hypersurfaces whose principle curvatures are nonnegative) with harmonic mean curvature vector fields in Euclidean spaces are minimal. Furthermore we prove that weakly convex biharmonic hypersurfaces in nonpositively curved space forms are minimal.     

Isoperimetric Inequalities for Extrinsic Balls in Minimal Submanifolds and their Applications

S.-Y. Cheng, P. Li and S.-T. Yau proved comparison theoremsfor the volume of extrinsic balls in minimal submanifolds ofspace forms. These results were extended by S. Markvorsen forminimal submanifolds of a riemannian manifold with just an upperbound on the sectional curvature. In the paper an isoperimetricinequality for extrinsic balls in minimal submanifolds of ariemannian manifold N with sectional curvatures bounded fromabove by a non-positive constant is found. As a corollary ofthis result an alternative proof is obtained of the comparisonfor the volume of extrinsic balls stated by the preceding authors,but now the equality case is characterized when the upper boundfor the sectional curvatures of the ambient manifold is strictlynegative. Finally, when the sectional curvatures of N are boundedfrom above for any constant (positive or negative), it is provedthat the -isoperimetric quotient of the extrinsic balls is boundedfrom below by the mean curvature of the geodesic spheres inthe m-dimensional real space forms.     

On the Minimal Solutions of Variational Inequalities in Orlicz-Sobolev Spaces

In this paper, the author studies the existence of the minimal nonnegative solutions of some elliptic variational inequalities in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces on bounded or unbounded domains. She gets some comparison results between different solutions as tools to pass to the limit in the problems and to show the existence of the minimal solutions of the variational inequalities on bounded domains or unbounded domains. In both cases,coercive and noncoercive operators are handled. The sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of the minimal nonnegative solution of the noncoercive variational inequality on bounded domains are established.
