Complete spacelike hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

In this paper, we characterize the n -dimensional ( n 3 ) complete spacelike hypersurfaces M n in a de Sitter space S 1 n + 1 with constant scalar curvature and with two distinct principal curvatures one of which is simple.We show that M n is a locus of moving ( n - 1 ) -dimensional submanifold M 1 n - 1 ( s ) , along M 1 n - 1 ( s ) the principal curvature λ of multiplicity n - 1 is constant and M 1 n - 1 ( s ) is umbilical in S 1 n + 1 and is contained in an ( n - 1 ) -dimensional sphere S n - 1 ( c ( s ) ) = E n ( s ) S 1 n + 1 and is of constant curvature ( d { log | λ 2 - ( 1 - R ) | 1 / n } d s ) 2 - λ 2 + 1 ,where s is the arc length of an orthogonal trajectory...

We give some optimal estimates of the height, curvature and volume of compact hypersurfaces in n + 1 with constant curvature bounding a planar closed (n-1)-submanifold.

Curvature measures and fractals

Steffen Winter

Similarity:

Curvature measures are an important tool in geometric measure theory and other fields of mathematics for describing the geometry of sets in Euclidean space. But the ’classical’ concepts of curvature are not directly applicable to fractal sets. We try to bridge this gap between geometric measure theory and fractal geometry by introducing a notion of curvature for fractals. For compact sets F d (e.g. fractals), for which classical geometric characteristics such as curvatures or Euler characteristic...

Tangency properties of sets with finite geometric curvature energies

Sebastian Scholtes (2012)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate tangential regularity properties of sets of fractal dimension, whose inverse thickness or integral Menger curvature energies are bounded. For the most prominent of these energies, the integral Menger curvature p α ( X ) : = X X X κ p ( x , y , z ) d X α ( x ) d X α ( y ) d X α ( z ) , where κ(x,y,z) is the inverse circumradius of the triangle defined by x,y and z, we find that p α ( X ) < for p ≥ 3α implies the existence of a weak approximate α-tangent at every point of the set, if some mild density properties hold. This includes the scale invariant...

A new characterization of r -stable hypersurfaces in space forms

H. F. de Lima, M. A. Velásquez (2011)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

In this paper we study the r -stability of closed hypersurfaces with constant r -th mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds of constant sectional curvature. In this setting, we obtain a characterization of the r -stable ones through of the analysis of the first eigenvalue of an operator naturally attached to the r -th mean curvature.

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 H K r , for some constants c and r, where H is the mean curvature of M.

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.

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,...

Some aspects of the variational nature of mean curvature flow

Giovanni Bellettini, Luca Mugnai (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We show that the classical solution of the heat equation can be seen as the minimizer of a suitable functional defined in space-time. Using similar ideas, we introduce a functional on the class of space-time tracks of moving hypersurfaces, and we study suitable minimization problems related with . We show some connections between minimizers of and mean curvature flow.

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.
