In this work, we consider oriented compact manifolds which possess convex mean curvature boundary, positive scalar curvature and admit a map to $\mathbb {D}^{2}\times T^{n}$ with non-zero degree, where $\mathbb {D}^{2}$ is a disc and $T^{n}$ is an $n$ -dimensional torus. We prove the validity of an inequality involving a mean of the area and the length of the boundary of immersed discs whose boundaries are homotopically non-trivial curves. We also prove a rigidity result for the equality case when the boundary is strongly totally geodesic. This can be viewed as a partial generalization of a result due to Lucas Ambrózio in (2015, J. Geom. Anal., 25, 1001–1017) to higher dimensions.

AbstractWe apply appropriate maximum principles in order to obtain characterization results concerning complete linear Weingarten hypersurfaces with bounded mean curvature in the hyperbolic space. By supposing a suitable restriction on the norm of the traceless part of the second fundamental form, we show that such a hypersurface must be either totally umbilical or isometric to a hyperbolic cylinder, when its scalar curvature is positive, or to a spherical cylinder, when its scalar curvature is negative. Related to the compact case, we also establish a rigidity result.

Simons [5] has proved a pinching theorem for compact minimal submanifolds in a unit sphere, which led to an intrinsic rigidity result. Sakaki [4] improved this result of Simons for arbitrary codimension and has proved that if the scalar curvature S of the minimal submanifold Mn of Sn+P satisfiesthen either Mn is totally geodesic or S= 2/3 in which case n = 2 and M2 is the Veronese surface in a totally geodesic 4-sphere. This result of Sakaki was further improved by Shen [6] but only for dimension n=3, where it is shown that if S>4, then M3 is totally geodesic (cf. Theorem 3, p. 791).

AbstractWe study self-expanding solutions $M^{m}\subset \mathbb {R}^{n}$ M m ⊂ ℝ n of the mean curvature flow. One of our main results is, that complete mean convex self-expanding hypersurfaces are products of self-expanding curves and flat subspaces, if and only if the function |A|2/|H|2 attains a local maximum, where A denotes the second fundamental form and H the mean curvature vector of M. If the principal normal ξ = H/|H| is parallel in the normal bundle, then a similar result holds in higher codimension for the function |Aξ|2/|H|2, where Aξ is the second fundamental form with respect to ξ. As a corollary we obtain that complete mean convex self-expanders attain strictly positive scalar curvature, if they are smoothly asymptotic to cones of non-negative scalar curvature. In particular, in dimension 2 any mean convex self-expander that is asymptotic to a cone must be strictly convex.

Complete Hypersurfaces

In this paper we investigate three-dimensional complete minimal hypersurfaces with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature in a space form M4(c) (c ≤ 0). We prove that if the scalar curvature of a such hypersurface is bounded from below, then its Gauss-Kronecker curvature vanishes identically. Examples of complete minimal hypersurfaces which are not totally geodesic in the Euclidean space E4 and the hyperbolic space H4(c) with vanishing Gauss-Kronecker curvature are also presented. It is also proved that totally umbilical hypersurfaces are the only complete hypersurfaces with non-zero constant mean curvature and with zero quasi-Gauss-Kronecker curvature in a space form M4(c) (c ≤ 0) if the scalar curvature is bounded from below. In particular, we classify complete hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and with constant quasi-Gauss-Kronecker curvature in a space form M4(c) (c ≤ 0) if the scalar curvature r satisfies r≥ ⅔c.

In this paper, we establish some optimal inequalities for the squared mean curvature in terms warping functions of a C-totally real doubly warped product submanifold of a locally conformal almost cosymplectic manifold with a pointwise ?-sectional curvature c. The equality case in the statement of inequalities is also considered. Moreover, some applications of obtained results are derived.

AbstractWe extend the Lyapunov–Schmidt analysis of outlying stable constant mean curvature spheres in the work of S. Brendle and the second-named author [S. Brendle and M. Eichmair, Isoperimetric and Weingarten surfaces in the Schwarzschild manifold, J. Differential Geom. 94 2013, 3, 387–407] to the “far-off-center” regime and to include general Schwarzschild asymptotics. We obtain sharp existence and non-existence results for large stable constant mean curvature spheres that depend delicately on the behavior of scalar curvature at infinity.

Abstract Let F_{n} : (Σ, h_{n} ) \to \mathbb{C}^{2} be a sequence of conformally immersed Lagrangian self-shrinkers with a uniform area upper bound to the mean curvature flow, and suppose that the sequence of metrics \{ h_{n} \} converges smoothly to a Riemannian metric h. We show that a subsequence of \{ F_{n} \} converges smoothly to a branched conformally immersed Lagrangian self-shrinker F_{\infty} : (Σ, h) \to \mathbb{C}^{2} . When the area bound is less than 16π, the limit {F_{\infty}} is an embedded torus. When the genus of Σ is one, we can drop the assumption on convergence h_{n} \to h. When the genus of Σ is zero, we show that there is no branched immersion of Σ as a Lagrangian self-shrinker, generalizing the rigidity result of [21] in dimension two by allowing branch points.

Twist Maps

According to a theorem of Moser, every monotone twist map $\varphi$ on the cylinder ${\Bbb S}^1\times {\Bbb R}$, which is integrable outside a compact set, is the time-1-map $\varphi_H^1$ of a fibrewise convex Hamiltonian $H$. In this paper we prove that if this particular flow $\varphi_H^t$ is also integrable outside a compact set, then $\varphi$ has to be integrable on the whole cylinder (and vice versa, of course). From this dynamical point of view, integrable twist maps appear to be quite rigid.As is shown in the appendix, an analogous rigidity result becomes trivial in higher dimensions.
