In this paper we are interested in comparing the spectra of two elliptic operators acting on a closed minimal submanifold of the Euclidean unit sphere. Using an approach introduced by Savo in [A Savo. Index Bounds for Minimal Hypersurfaces of the Sphere. Indiana Univ. Math. J. 59 (2010), 823-837.], we are able to compare the eigenvalues of the stability operator acting on sections of the normal bundle and the Hodge Laplacian operator acting on $1$ -forms. As a byproduct of the technique and under a suitable hypothesis on the Ricci curvature of the submanifold we obtain that its first Betti's number is bounded from above by a multiple of the Morse index, which provide evidence for a well-known conjecture of Schoen and Marques & Neves in the setting of higher codimension.

In this note, we show that the totally geodesic sphere, Clifford torus and Cartan hypersurface are the only compact minimal hypersurfaces in S4(1) with constant scalar curvature if the Ricci curvature is not less than −1.

In this paper, we study n-dimensional compact minimal hypersurfaces in a unit sphere Sn+1(1) and give an answer for S. S. Chern's conjecture. We have shown that [Formula: see text] if S > n, and prove that an n-dimensional compact minimal hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in Sn+1(1) is a totally geodesic sphere or a Clifford torus if [Formula: see text], where S denotes the squared norm of the second fundamental form of this hypersurface.

AbstractIn this paper, we prove uniform curvature estimates for immersed stable free boundary minimal hypersurfaces satisfying a uniform area bound, which generalize the celebrated Schoen–Simon–Yau interior curvature estimates up to the free boundary. Our curvature estimates imply a smooth compactness theorem which is an essential ingredient in the min-max theory of free boundary minimal hypersurfaces developed by the last two authors. We also prove a monotonicity formula for free boundary minimal submanifolds in Riemannian manifolds for any dimension and codimension. For 3-manifolds with boundary, we prove a stronger curvature estimate for properly embedded stable free boundary minimal surfaces without a-priori area bound. This generalizes Schoen’s interior curvature estimates to the free boundary setting. Our proof uses the theory of minimal laminations developed by Colding and Minicozzi.

AbstractIn this paper we show that two minimal hypersurfaces in a manifold with positive Ricci curvature must intersect. This is then generalized to show that in manifolds with positive Ricci curvature in the integral sense two minimal hypersurfaces must be close to each other. We also show what happens if a manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature admits two nonintersecting minimal hypersurfaces.

We study the stability and the solvability of a family of problems −(ϕ(x′))′=g(t,x,x′,u)+f* with Dirichlet boundary conditions, where ϕ, u, f* are allowed to vary as well. Applications for boundary value problems involving the p-Laplacian operator are highlighted.
