New characterizations of linear Weingarten hypersurfaces immersed in the hyperbolic space

Cícero P. Aquino, Henrique F. de Lima (2015)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

In this paper, we deal with complete linear Weingarten hypersurfaces immersed in the hyperbolic space n + 1 , that is, complete hypersurfaces of n + 1 whose mean curvature H and normalized scalar curvature R satisfy R = a H + b for some a , b . In this setting, under appropriate restrictions on the mean curvature and on the norm of the traceless part of the second fundamental form, we prove that such a hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or isometric to a hyperbolic cylinder of n + 1 . Furthermore,...

A characterization of n-dimensional hypersurfaces in R n + 1 with commuting curvature operators

Yulian T. Tsankov (2005)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Let Mⁿ be a hypersurface in R n + 1 . We prove that two classical Jacobi curvature operators J x and J y commute on Mⁿ, n > 2, for all orthonormal pairs (x,y) and for all points p ∈ M if and only if Mⁿ is a space of constant sectional curvature. Also we consider all hypersurfaces with n ≥ 4 satisfying the commutation relation ( K x , y K z , u ) ( u ) = ( K z , u K x , y ) ( u ) , where K x , y ( u ) = R ( x , y , u ) , for all orthonormal tangent vectors x,y,z,w and for all points p ∈ M.

A characterization of a certain real hypersurface of type ( A 2 ) in a complex projective space

Byung Hak Kim, In-Bae Kim, Sadahiro Maeda (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In the class of real hypersurfaces M 2 n - 1 isometrically immersed into a nonflat complex space form M ˜ n ( c ) of constant holomorphic sectional curvature c ( 0 ) which is either a complex projective space P n ( c ) or a complex hyperbolic space H n ( c ) according as c > 0 or c < 0 , there are two typical examples. One is the class of all real hypersurfaces of type (A) and the other is the class of all ruled real hypersurfaces. Note that the former example are Hopf manifolds and the latter are non-Hopf manifolds....

Similarity:

Given a domain Ω of m + 1 and a k -dimensional non-degenerate minimal submanifold K of Ω with 1 k m - 1 , we prove the existence of a family of embedded constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Ω which as their mean curvature tends to infinity concentrate along K and intersecting Ω perpendicularly along their boundaries.

A genericity theorem for algebraic stacks and essential dimension of hypersurfaces

Zinovy Reichstein, Angelo Vistoli (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We compute the essential dimension of the functors Forms n , d and Hypersurf n , d of equivalence classes of homogeneous polynomials in n variables and hypersurfaces in n 1 , respectively, over any base field k of characteristic 0 . Here two polynomials (or hypersurfaces) over K are considered equivalent if they are related by a linear change of coordinates with coefficients in K . Our proof is based on a new Genericity Theorem for algebraic stacks, which is of independent interest. As another application...

Mean curvature properties for p -Laplace phase transitions

Berardino Sciunzi, Enrico Valdinoci (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

This paper deals with phase transitions corresponding to an energy which is the sum of a kinetic part of p -Laplacian type and a double well potential h 0 with suitable growth conditions. We prove that level sets of solutions of Δ p u = h 0 ' ( u ) possessing a certain decay property satisfy a mean curvature equation in a suitable weak viscosity sense. From this, we show that, if the above level sets approach uniformly a hypersurface, the latter has zero mean curvature.

Similarity:

Let M be a closed connected surface in R 3 with positive Gaussian curvature K and let K I I be the curvature of its second fundamental form. It is shown that M is a sphere if K I I = c H K r , for some constants c and r, where H is the mean curvature of M.

Two-dimensional curvature functionals with superquadratic growth

Ernst Kuwert, Tobias Lamm, Yuxiang Li (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

For two-dimensional, immersed closed surfaces f : Σ n , we study the curvature functionals p ( f ) and 𝒲 p ( f ) with integrands ( 1 + | A | 2 ) p / 2 and ( 1 + | H | 2 ) p / 2 , respectively. Here A is the second fundamental form, H is the mean curvature and we assume p > 2 . Our main result asserts that W 2 , p critical points are smooth in both cases. We also prove a compactness theorem for 𝒲 p -bounded sequences. In the case of p this is just Langer’s theorem [16], while for 𝒲 p we have to impose a bound for the Willmore energy strictly below 8 π as an additional...

A geometric problem and the Hopf Lemma. I

Yan Yan Li, Louis Nirenberg (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

A classical result of A. D. Alexandrov states that a connected compact smooth n -dimensional manifold without boundary, embedded in n + 1 , and such that its mean curvature is constant, is a sphere. Here we study the problem of symmetry of M in a hyperplane X n + 1 = const in case M satisfies: for any two points ( X ' , X n + 1 ) , ( X ' , X ^ n + 1 ) on M , with X n + 1 > X ^ n + 1 , the mean curvature at the first is not greater than that at the second. Symmetry need not always hold, but in this paper, we establish it under some additional condition for n = 1 ....

The resolution of the bounded L 2 curvature conjecture in general relativity

Sergiu Klainerman, Igor Rodnianski, Jérémie Szeftel (2014-2015)

Séminaire Laurent Schwartz — EDP et applications

Similarity:

This paper reports on the recent proof of the bounded L 2 curvature conjecture. More precisely we show that the time of existence of a classical solution to the Einstein-vacuum equations depends only on the L 2 -norm of the curvature and a lower bound of the volume radius of the corresponding initial data set.

Travelling graphs for the forced mean curvature motion in an arbitrary space dimension

Régis Monneau, Jean-Michel Roquejoffre, Violaine Roussier-Michon (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We construct travelling wave graphs of the form z = - c t + φ ( x ) , φ : x N - 1 φ ( x ) , N 2 , solutions to the N -dimensional forced mean curvature motion V n = - c 0 + κ ( c c 0 ) with prescribed asymptotics. For any 1 -homogeneous function φ , viscosity solution to the eikonal equation | D φ | = ( c / c 0 ) 2 - 1 , we exhibit a smooth concave solution to the forced mean curvature motion whose asymptotics is driven by  φ . We also describe φ in terms of a probability measure on  § N - 2 .

Singer-Thorpe bases for special Einstein curvature tensors in dimension 4

Zdeněk Dušek (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let ( M , g ) be a 4-dimensional Einstein Riemannian manifold. At each point p of M , the tangent space admits a so-called Singer-Thorpe basis (ST basis) with respect to the curvature tensor R at p . In this basis, up to standard symmetries and antisymmetries, just 5 components of the curvature tensor R are nonzero. For the space of constant curvature, the group O ( 4 ) acts as a transformation group between ST bases at T p M and for the so-called 2-stein curvature tensors, the group Sp ( 1 ) SO ( 4 ) acts as a transformation...

Global pinching theorems for minimal submanifolds in spheres

Kairen Cai (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let M be a compact submanifold with parallel mean curvature vector embedded in the unit sphere S n + p ( 1 ) . By using the Sobolev inequalities of P. Li to get L p estimates for the norms of certain tensors related to the second fundamental form of M, we prove some rigidity theorems. Denote by H and | | σ | | p the mean curvature and the L p norm of the square length of the second fundamental form of M. We show that there is a constant C such that if | | σ | | n / 2 < C , then M is a minimal submanifold in the sphere S n + p - 1 ( 1 + H ² ) with sectional...

Regularity of stable solutions of p -Laplace equations through geometric Sobolev type inequalities

Daniele Castorina, Manel Sanchón (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We prove a Sobolev and a Morrey type inequality involving the mean curvature and the tangential gradient with respect to the level sets of the function that appears in the inequalities. Then, as an application, we establish a priori estimates for semistable solutions of Δ p u = g ( u ) in a smooth bounded domain Ω n . In particular, we obtain new L r and W 1 , r bounds for the extremal solution u when the domain is strictly convex. More precisely, we prove that u L ( Ω ) if n p + 2 and u L n p n - p - 2 ( Ω ) W 0 1 , p ( Ω ) if n > p + 2 .

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Let S be a Riemann surface. Let 3 be the 3 -dimensional hyperbolic space and let 3 be its ideal boundary. In our context, a Plateau problem is a locally holomorphic mapping ϕ : S 3 = ^ . If i : S 3 is a convex immersion, and if N is its exterior normal vector field, we define the Gauss lifting, ı ^ , of i by ı ^ = N . Let n : U 3 3 be the Gauss-Minkowski mapping. A solution to the Plateau problem ( S , ϕ ) is a convex immersion i of constant Gaussian curvature equal to k ( 0 , 1 ) such that the Gauss lifting ( S , ı ^ ) is complete and n ı ^ = ϕ . In this...

Complete noncompact submanifolds with flat normal bundle

Hai-Ping Fu (2016)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let Mⁿ (n ≥ 3) be an n-dimensional complete super stable minimal submanifold in n + p with flat normal bundle. We prove that if the second fundamental form A of M satisfies M i | A | α < , where α ∈ [2(1 - √(2/n)), 2(1 + √(2/n))], then M is an affine n-dimensional plane. In particular, if n ≤ 8 and M | A | d < , d = 1,3, then M is an affine n-dimensional plane. Moreover, complete strongly stable hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and finite L α -norm curvature in ℝ⁷ are considered.
