We prove complete boundary regularity for energy minimizing integer multiplicity rectifiablen currents in n+1 of prescribed mean curvatureH with boundaryB= represented by an oriented smooth submanifold of dimensionn – 1 in sun+1.

Let C be a closed convex set in a complete simply connected Riemannian manifold M with sectional curvature bounded above by a positive constant K. Assume that Σ is a compact minimal surface outside C such that Σ is orthogonal to ?C along ?Σ∩?C and ?Σ ~ ?C is radially connected from a point p ∈ ?Σ∩?C. We introduce a modified volume Mp(Σ) of Σ and obtain a sharp isoperimetric inequality where equality holds if and only if Σ is a geodesic half disk with constant Gaussian curvature K. We also prove higher dimensional isoperimetric inequalities for minimal submanifolds outside a closed convex set in a Riemannian manifold using the modified volume.  相似文献

We prove existence and almost everywhere regularity of an area minimizing soap film with a bound on energy spanning a given Jordan curve in Euclidean space R 3.The energy of a film is defined to be the sum of its surface area and the length of its singular branched set. The class of surfaces over which area is minimized includes images of disks, integral currents, nonorientable surfaces and soap films as observed by Plateau with a bound on energy. Our area minimizing solution is shown to be a smooth surface away from its branched set which is a union of Lipschitz Jordan curves of finite total length.  相似文献

Recently Candel [A. Candel, Eigenvalue estimates for minimal surfaces in hyperbolic space, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 359 (2007) 3567-3575] proved that if M is a simply-connected stable minimal surface isometrically immersed in H3, then the first eigenvalue of M satisfies 1/4?λ(M)?4/3 and he asked whether the bound is sharp and gave an example such that the lower bound is attained. In this note, we prove that the upper bound can never be attained. Also we extend the result by proving that if M is compact stable minimal hypersurface isometrically immersed in Hn+1 where n?3 such that its smooth Yamabe invariant is negative, then (n−1)/4?λ(M)?n2(n−2)/(7n−6).  相似文献

For a compact minimal hypersurface M in Sn+1 with the squared length of the second fundamental form S we confirm that there exists a positive constant δ(n) depending only on n, such that if n?S?n+δ(n), then Sn, i.e., M is a Clifford minimal hypersurface, in particular, when n?6, the pinching constant .  相似文献

In this paper, we classify complete spacelike hypersurfaces in the anti-de Sitter space (n?3) with constant scalar curvature and with two principal curvatures. Moreover, we prove that if Mn is a complete spacelike hypersurface with constant scalar curvature n(n−1)R and with two distinct principal curvatures such that the multiplicity of one of the principal curvatures is n−1, then R<(n−2)c/n. Additionally, we also obtain several rigidity theorems for such hypersurfaces.  相似文献

We give an algorithm for finding finite element approximations to surfaces of prescribed variable mean curvature, which span a given boundary curve. We work in the parametric setting and prove optimal estimates in the H1 norm. The estimates are verified computationally.  相似文献

Let Mn be a complete hypersurface in Sn+1(1) with constant mean curvature. Assume that Mn has n−1 principal curvatures with the same sign everywhere. We prove that if RicMC(H), either S?S+(H) or RicM?0 or the fundamental group of Mn is infinite, then S is constant, S=S+(H) and Mn is isometric to a Clifford torus with . These rigidity theorems are still valid for compact hypersurface without constancy condition on the mean curvature.  相似文献

Let be a two-dimensional parametric variational integral the Lagrangian F(x,z) of which is positive definite and elliptic, and suppose that is a closed rectifiable Jordan curve in . We then prove that there is a conformally parametrized minimizer of in the class of surfaces of the type of the disk B which are bounded by . An immediate consequence of this theorem is that the Dirichlet integral and the area functional have the same infima, a result whose proof usually requires a Lichtenstein-type mapping theorem or else Morrey's lemma on -conformal mappings. In addition we show that the minimizer of is H?lder continuous in B, and even in if satisfies a chord-arc condition. In Section 1 it is described how our results are related to classical investigations, in particular to the work of Morrey. Without difficulty our approach can be carried over to two-dimensional surfaces of codimension greater than one. Received July 20, 1998 / Accepted October 23, 1998  相似文献

Let M=P(E) be the complex manifold underlying the total space of the projectivization of a holomorphic vector bundle EΣ over a compact complex curve Σ of genus ?2. Building on ideas of Fujiki (1992) [27], we prove that M admits a Kähler metric of constant scalar curvature if and only if E is polystable. We also address the more general existence problem of extremal Kähler metrics on such bundles and prove that the splitting of E as a direct sum of stable subbundles is necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of extremal Kähler metrics in Kähler classes sufficiently far from the boundary of the Kähler cone. The methods used to prove the above results apply to a wider class of manifolds, called rigid toric bundles over a semisimple base, which are fibrations associated to a principal torus bundle over a product of constant scalar curvature Kähler manifolds with fibres isomorphic to a given toric Kähler variety. We discuss various ramifications of our approach to this class of manifolds.  相似文献

We study a class of mean curvature equations −Mu=H+λup where M denotes the mean curvature operator and for p?1. We show that there exists an extremal parameter λ such that this equation admits a minimal weak solutions for all λ∈[0,λ], while no weak solutions exists for λ>λ (weak solutions will be defined as critical points of a suitable functional). In the radially symmetric case, we then show that minimal weak solutions are classical solutions for all λ∈[0,λ] and that another branch of classical solutions exists in a neighborhood (λη,λ) of λ.  相似文献

Abstract

Homotopy operations Θ: [ΣY, U] → [ΣY, V] which are natural in Y are considered. In particular a technique used in the definition of the Hopf invariant (as treated by Berstein-Hilton) shows that any fibration p: EB with fiber V, when provided with a homotopy section of Ωp, determines such a homotopy operation [ΣY, E] → [ΣY, V]. More generally, starting from a track class of homotopies α º f ? β º g we adapt this fibration technique to construct a homotopy operation [ΣY, M(f,g)] → [ΣY, F α * F β] called a Hopf invariant. The intervening fibration in the definition of this Hopf invariant arises via the fiberwise join construction.  相似文献

We solve the asymptotic Plateau problem in every Gromov hyperbolic Hadamard manifold (X,g) with bounded geometry. That is, we prove existence of complete (possibly singular) k-dimensional area minimizing surfaces in X with prescribed boundary data at infinity, for a large class of admissible limit sets and for all . The result also holds with respect to any riemannian metric on X which is lipschitz equivalent to g. Received: 23 January 2001 / Accepted: 25 October 2001 Published online: 28 February 2002  相似文献

We develop a variety of approaches, mainly using integral geometry, to proving that the integral of the square of the mean curvature of a torus immersed in must always take a value no less than . Our partial results, phrased mainly within the -formulation of the problem, are typically strongest when the Gauss curvature can be controlled in terms of extrinsic curvatures or when the torus enjoys further properties related to its distribution within the ambient space (see Sect. 3). Corollaries include a recent result of Ros [20] confirming the Willmore conjecture for surfaces invariant under the antipodal map, and a strengthening of the expected results for flat tori. The value arises in this work in a number of different ways – as the volume (or renormalised volume) of or , and in terms of the length of shortest nontrivial loops in subgroups of SO(4).

In this paper, we give an upper bound on the growth of π1(M) for a class of manifolds with integral Ricci curvature bounds. This generalizes the main theorem of [8] to the case where the negative part of Ricci curvature is small in an averaged L1- sense.Received: 19 July 2004  相似文献

We consider the sub-Riemannian metric g h on given by the restriction of the Riemannian metric of curvature 1 to the plane distribution orthogonal to the Hopf vector field. We compute the geodesics associated to the Carnot–Carathéodory distance and we show that, depending on their curvature, they are closed or dense subsets of a Clifford torus. We study area-stationary surfaces with or without a volume constraint in (). By following the ideas and techniques by Ritoré and Rosales (Area-stationary surfaces in the Heisenberg group , arXiv:math.DG/0512547) we introduce a variational notion of mean curvature, characterize stationary surfaces, and prove classification results for complete volume-preserving area-stationary surfaces with non-empty singular set. We also use the behaviour of the Carnot–Carathéodory geodesics and the ruling property of constant mean curvature surfaces to show that the only C 2 compact, connected, embedded surfaces in () with empty singular set and constant mean curvature H such that is an irrational number, are Clifford tori. Finally we describe which are the complete rotationally invariant surfaces with constant mean curvature in (). A.

We investigate knot-theoretic properties of geometrically defined curvature energies such as integral Menger curvature. Elementary radii-functions, such as the circumradius of three points, generate a family of knot energies guaranteeing self-avoidance and a varying degree of higher regularity of finite energy curves. All of these energies turn out to be charge, minimizable in given isotopy classes, tight and strong. Almost all distinguish between knots and unknots, and some of them can be shown to be uniquely minimized by round circles. Bounds on the stick number and the average crossing number, some non-trivial global lower bounds, and unique minimization by circles upon compaction complete the picture.  相似文献

In [3] we studied p-mean curvature and the associated p-minimal surfaces in the Heisenberg group from the viewpoint of PDE and differential geometry. In this paper, we look into the problem through the variational formulation. We study a generalized p-area and associated ( p-) minimizers in general dimensions. We prove the existence and investigate the uniqueness of minimizers. Since this is reduced to solving a degenerate elliptic equation, we need to consider the effect of the singular set and this requires a careful study. We define the notion of weak solution and prove that in a certain Sobolev space, a weak solution is a minimizer and vice versa. We also give many interesting examples in dimension 2. An intriguing point is that, in dimension 2, a C 2-smooth solution from the PDE viewpoint may not be a minimizer. However, this statement is true for higher dimensions due to the relative smallness of the size of the singular set.  相似文献
