A note on stability of minimal surfaces in -dimensional hyperbolic space .
It is easily seen that the graphs of harmonic conjugate functions (the real and imaginary parts of a holomorphic function) have the same nonpositive Gaussian curvature. The converse to this statement is not as simple. Given two graphs with the same nonpositive Gaussian curvature, when can we conclude that the functions generating their graphs are harmonic? In this paper, we show that given a graph with radially symmetric nonpositive Gaussian curvature in a certain form, there are (up to) four families...
We study the problem of existence of surfaces in R3 parametrized on the sphere S2 with prescribed mean curvature H in the perturbative case, i.e. for H = Ho + EH1, where Ho is a nonzero constant, H1 is a C2 function and E is a small perturbation parameter.
We obtain nonexistence results concerning complete noncompact spacelike hypersurfaces with polynomial volume growth immersed in a Lorentzian space form, under the assumption that the support functions with respect to a fixed nonzero vector are linearly related. Our approach is based on a suitable maximum principle recently established by Alías, Caminha and do Nascimento [3].
We study the volume of compact Riemannian manifolds which are Einstein with respect to a metric connection with (parallel) skew-torsion. We provide a result for the sign of the first variation of the volume in terms of the corresponding scalar curvature. This generalizes a result of M. Ville [Vil] related with the first variation of the volume on a compact Einstein manifold.
