Hypersurfaces with free boundary and large constant mean curvature: concentration along submanifolds

Mouhamed Moustapha Fall, Fethi Mahmoudi (2008)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

Given a domain $Ω$ of $ℝ^{m + 1}$ and a $k$ -dimensional non-degenerate minimal submanifold $K$ of $\partial Ω$ with $1 \leq k \leq m - 1$ , 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 $\partial Ω$ perpendicularly along their boundaries.

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 $f : Σ \to ℝ^{n}$ , we study the curvature functionals $ℰ^{p} (f)$ 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 $ℰ^{p}$ 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...

The gap theorems for some extremal submanifolds in a unit sphere

Xi Guo and Lan Wu (2015)

Communications in Mathematics

Similarity:

Let $M$ be an $n$ -dimensional submanifold in the unit sphere $S^{n + p}$ , we call $M$ a $k$ -extremal submanifold if it is a critical point of the functional $\int_{M} ρ^{2 k} d v$ . In this paper, we can study gap phenomenon for these submanifolds.

$f$ -biminimal maps between Riemannian manifolds

Yan Zhao, Ximin Liu (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We give the definition of $f$ -biminimal submanifolds and derive the equation for $f$ -biminimal submanifolds. As an application, we give some examples of $f$ -biminimal manifolds. Finally, we consider $f$ -minimal hypersurfaces in the product space $ℝ^{n} \times 𝕊^{1} (a)$ and derive two rigidity theorems.

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 $ℝ^{n + 1}$ , 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 $(X^{'}, X_{n + 1})$ , $(X^{'}, {\hat{X}}_{n + 1})$ on $M$ , with $X_{n + 1} > {\hat{X}}_{n + 1}$ , 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 $n = 1$ ....

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 $Ω \subset ℝ^{n}$ . 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 $u^{☆} \in L^{\infty} (Ω)$ if $n \leq p + 2$ and $u^{☆} \in L^{\frac{n p}{n - p - 2}} (Ω) \cap W_{0}^{1, p} (Ω)$ if $n > p + 2$ .

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 $z = - c t + φ (x)$ , $φ : x \in ℝ^{N - 1} \mapsto φ (x) \in ℝ$ , $N \geq 2$ , solutions to the $N$ -dimensional forced mean curvature motion $V_{n} = - c_{0} + κ$ ( $c \geq c_{0}$ ) with prescribed asymptotics. For any $1$ -homogeneous function $φ_{\infty}$ , viscosity solution to the eikonal equation $| D φ_{\infty} | = \sqrt{{(c / c_{0})}^{2} - 1}$ , we exhibit a smooth concave solution to the forced mean curvature motion whose asymptotics is driven by $φ_{\infty}$ . We also describe $φ_{\infty}$ in terms of a probability measure on $§^{N - 2}$ .

A half-space type property in the Euclidean sphere

Marco Antonio Lázaro Velásquez (2022)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We study the notion of strong $r$ -stability for the context of closed hypersurfaces $Σ^{n}$ ( $n \geq 3$ ) with constant $(r + 1)$ -th mean curvature $H_{r + 1}$ immersed into the Euclidean sphere $𝕊^{n + 1}$ , where $r \in {1, ..., n - 2}$ . In this setting, under a suitable restriction on the $r$ -th mean curvature $H_{r}$ , we establish that there are no $r$ -strongly stable closed hypersurfaces immersed in a certain region of $𝕊^{n + 1}$ , a region that is determined by a totally umbilical sphere of $𝕊^{n + 1}$ . We also provide a rigidity result for such hypersurfaces.

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 $Sp (1) \subset SO (4)$ acts as a transformation...

A new characterization of the sphere in $R^{3}$

Thomas Hasanis (1980)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

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 $K_{I} I = c \sqrt H K^{r}$ , for some constants c and r, where H is the mean curvature of M.

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.

On Kakeya–Nikodym averages, $L^{p}$ -norms and lower bounds for nodal sets of eigenfunctions in higher dimensions

Matthew D. Blair, Christopher D. Sogge (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We extend a result of the second author [27, Theorem 1.1] to dimensions $d \geq 3$ which relates the size of $L^{p}$ -norms of eigenfunctions for $2 < p < 2 (d + 1) / d - 1$ to the amount of $L^{2}$ -mass in shrinking tubes about unit-length geodesics. The proof uses bilinear oscillatory integral estimates of Lee [22] and a variable coefficient variant of an " $ϵ$ removal lemma" of Tao and Vargas [35]. We also use Hörmander’s [20] $L^{2}$ oscillatory integral theorem and the Cartan–Hadamard theorem to show that, under the assumption of nonpositive...

Lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Kaehler manifold of a quasi-constant curvature

Dae Ho Jin, Jae Won Lee (2019)

Communications in Mathematics

Similarity:

We study lightlike hypersurfaces $M$ of an indefinite Kaehler manifold $\bar{M}$ of quasi-constant curvature subject to the condition that the characteristic vector field $ζ$ of $\bar{M}$ is tangent to $M$ . First, we provide a new result for such a lightlike hypersurface. Next, we investigate such a lightlike hypersurface $M$ of $\bar{M}$ such that (1) the screen distribution $S (T M)$ is totally umbilical or (2) $M$ is screen conformal.

Bubbling on boundary submanifolds for the Lin–Ni–Takagi problem at higher critical exponents

Manuel del Pino, Fethi Mahmudi, Monica Musso (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Let $Ω$ be a bounded domain in $ℝ^{n}$ with smooth boundary $\partial Ω$ . We consider the equation $d^{2} Δ u - u + u^{\frac{n - k + 2}{n - k - 2}} = 0 in Ω$ , under zero Neumann boundary conditions, where $Ω$ is open, smooth and bounded and $d$ is a small positive parameter. We assume that there is a $k$ -dimensional closed, embedded minimal submanifold $K$ of $\partial Ω$ , which is non-degenerate, and certain weighted average of sectional curvatures of $\partial Ω$ is positive along $K$ . Then we prove the existence of a sequence $d = d_{j} \to 0$ and a positive solution $u_{d}$ such that $d^{2} {| \nabla u_{d} |}^{2} ⇀ S δ_{K} as d \to 0$ in the sense of measures,...

Remarks on WDC sets

Dušan Pokorný, Luděk Zajíček (2021)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We study WDC sets, which form a substantial generalization of sets with positive reach and still admit the definition of curvature measures. Main results concern WDC sets $A \subset ℝ^{2}$ . We prove that, for such $A$ , the distance function $d_{A} = dist (\cdot, A)$ is a “DC aura” for $A$ , which implies that each closed locally WDC set in $ℝ^{2}$ is a WDC set. Another consequence is that compact WDC subsets of $ℝ^{2}$ form a Borel subset of the space of all compact sets.
