Rigidity theorems for complete spacelike hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in De Sitter space

In this paper we give a partially affirmative answer to the following question posed by Haizhong Li: is a complete spacelike hypersurface in De Sitter space , n?3, with constant normalized scalar curvature R satisfying totally umbilical?     

Stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces

Let be a Riemannian manifold with sectional curvatures uniformly bounded from below. When we prove that there are no complete (strongly) stable -hypersurfaces, without boundary, provided is large enough. In particular, we prove that there are no complete strongly stable -hypersurfaces in without boundary,

     

Weakly stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces

Let M^n be an n-dimensional complete noncompact oriented weakly stable constant mean curvature hypersurface in an （n ＋ 1）-dimensional Riemannian manifold N^n＋1 whose （n - 1）th Ricci curvature satisfying Ric^N（n-1） （n - 1）c. Denote by H and φ the mean curvature and the trace-free second fundamental form of M respectively. If ｜φ｜^2 - （n- 2）√n（n- 1）｜H｜｜φ｜＋ n（2n - 1）（H^2＋ c） 〉 0, then M does not admit nonconstant bounded harmonic functions with finite Dirichlet integral. In particular, if N has bounded geometry and c ＋ H^2 〉 0, then M must have only one end.     

Stable complete noncompact hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature

This article concerns the structure of complete noncompact stable hypersurfaces M ⁿ with constant mean curvature H > 0 in a complete noncompact oriented Riemannian manifold N ⁿ⁺¹. In particular, we show that a complete noncompact stable constant mean curvature hypersurface M ⁿ , n = 5, 6, in the Euclidean space must have only one end. Any such hypersurface in the hyperbolic space with , respectively, has only one end.     

Index growth of hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature

In this paper we give the precise index growth for the embedded hypersurfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature (cmc) 1 in (Delaunay unduloids). When n=3, using the asymptotics result of Korevaar, Kusner and Solomon, we derive an explicit asymptotic index growth rate for finite topology cmc 1 surfaces with properly embedded ends. Similar results are obtained for hypersurfaces with cmc bigger than 1 in hyperbolic space. Received: 6 July 2000; in final form: 10 September 2000 / Published online: 25 June 2001     

On constant mean curvature hypersurfaces with finite index

We discuss the non-existence of complete noncompact constant mean curvature hypersurfaces with finite index in a 4- or 5-dimensional manifold. As a consequence, we obtain that a complete noncompact constant mean curvature hypersurface in with finite index must be minimal. Received: 30 May 2005     

Stability for hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature with free boundary

The partitioning problem for a smooth convex bodyB ³ consists in to study, among surfaces which divideB in two pieces of prescribed volume, those which are critical points of the area functional.We study stable solutions of the above problem: we obtain several topological and geometrical restrictions for this kind of surfaces. In the case thatB is a Euclidean ball we obtain stronger results.Antonio Ros is partially supported by DGICYT grant PB91-0731 and Enaldo Vergasta is partially supported by CNPq grant 202326/91-8.     

Locally strongly convex hypersurfaces with constant affine mean curvature

Let be a locally strongly convex hypersurface, given by a strictly convex function xn+1=f(x₁,…,xn) defined in a convex domain Ω⊂An. We consider the Riemannian metric G# on M, defined by . In this paper we prove that if M is a locally strongly convex surface with constant affine mean curvature and if M is complete with respect to the metric G#, then M must be an elliptic paraboloid.

On the compactness of constant mean curvature hypersurfaces with finite total curvature

In this work we consider a complete submanifold M with parallel mean curvature vector h immersed in a space form of constant sectional curvature c ￡ 0c\leq 0. If M has finite total curvature and |H|² > -c|H|^2>-c, we prove that M must be compact.     

Absolute gradient bounds for nonparametric hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature

We consider the problem of determining the existence of absolute apriori gradient bounds of nonparametric hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature in ann-dimensional sphereB _R, 1>R>R ₀ ⁽ⁿ⁾ , (R ₀ ⁽ⁿ⁾ being a constant depending only onn), without imposing boundary conditions or bounds of any sort.

Rigidity theorem for complete spacelike hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in Lorentz spaces

In this paper, a complete space-like hypersurface with constant normal scalar curvature in a locally symmetric Lorentz space is discussed. The rigidity theorem is proved by using the operator □ introduced by S. Y. Cheng and S. T. Yau, and the result is a partially affirmative answer to the question posed by Haizhong Li in 1997.     

Stability index jump for constant mean curvature hypersurfaces of spheres

It is known that the totally umbilical hypersurfaces in the (n + 1)-dimensional spheres are characterized as the only hypersurfaces with weak stability index 0. That is, a compact hypersurface with constant mean curvature, cmc, in S ⁿ⁺¹, different from an Euclidean sphere, must have stability index greater than or equal to 1. In this paper we prove that the weak stability index of any non-totally umbilical compact hypersurface ${M \subset S^{{n+1}}}$ with cmc cannot take the values 1, 2, 3 . . . , n.
