AbstractLet Mn be an n-dimensional closed hypersurface with constant mean curvature H satisfying |H| ≤ ϵ(n) in a unit sphere Sn+1(1), n ≤ 8 and S the square of the length of the second fundamental form of M. There exists a constant δ(n, H) > 0, which depends only on n and H such that if S0 ≤ S ≤ S0 + δ(n, H), then S ≡ S0 and M is isometric to a Clifford hypersurface, where ϵ(n) is a sufficiently small constant depending on n and $S_0=n+\frac{n^3}{2(n-1)}H^2+\frac{n(n-2)}{2(n-1)}\sqrt{n^2H^4+4(n-1)H^2}$.

Let M be an n-dimensional closed hypersurface with constant mean curvature H in a unit sphere Sn+1, n ≤ 8, and S the squared length of the second fundamental form of M. If |H| ≤ ε(n), then there exists a positive constant α(n, H), which depends only on n and H, such that if S0 ≤ S ≤ S0 + α(n, H), then S ≡ S0 and M is isometric to a Clifford hypersurface, where ε(n) is a positive constant depending only on n and [Formula: see text].

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.

In this paper, our aim is to study the geometry of [Formula: see text]-dimensional trapped and marginally trapped submanifolds immersed in a Lorentzian space form [Formula: see text] of constant sectional curvature [Formula: see text]. In this setting, we establish sufficient conditions to guarantee that a complete trapped submanifold with parallel mean curvature vector in [Formula: see text] must be pseudo-umbilical. Afterwards, we obtain a nonexistence result concerning complete trapped submanifolds in the Lorentz–Minkowski space. Furthermore, under suitable constraints on the Ricci curvature and the second fundamental form, we show that an [Formula: see text]-dimensional complete pseudo-umbilical marginally trapped submanifold of [Formula: see text] with parallel mean curvature vector is, in fact, totally umbilical.

The Second Fundamental Form

In this paper we consider compact oriented hypersurfaces M with constant mean curvature and two principal curvatures immersed in the Euclidean sphere. In the minimal case, Perdomo (Perdomo 2004) andWang (Wang 2003) obtained an integral inequality involving the square of the norm of the second fundamental form of M, where equality holds only if M is the Clifford torus. In this paper, using the traceless second fundamental form of M, we extend the above integral formula to hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and give a new characterization of the H(r)-torus.

AbstractLet M be an n-dimensional closed hypersurface with constant mean curvature H satisfying |H| ≤ ϵ(n) in a unit sphere Sn+1, n ≤ 7, and S the square of the length of the second fundamental form of M. There exists a constant δ(n, H) > 0, which depends only on n and H, such that if S0 ≤ S ≤ S0 + δ(n, H), then S ≡ S0 and M is isometric to a Clifford hypersurface, where ϵ(n) is a sufficiently small constant depending on n and $S_0=n+\frac{n^3}{2(n-1)}H^2+\frac{n(n-2)}{2(n-1)}\sqrt{n^2H^4+4(n-1)H^2}$.

AbstractConsider submanifolds in the nested space. For a compact pseudoumbilical submanifold with parallel mean curvature vector of a Riemannian submanifold with constant curvature immersed in a quasi-constant curvature Riemannian manifold, two sufficient conditions are given to let the pseudo-umbilical submanifold become a totally umbilical submanifold.
