Abstract In this paper, we prove that a two-dimensional self-shrinker, homeomorphic to the sphere, immersed in the three-dimensional Euclidean space ℝ 3 {{\mathbb{R}}^{3}} is a round sphere, provided its mean curvature and the norm of the its position vector have an upper bound in terms of the norm of its traceless second fundamental form. The example constructed by Drugan justifies that the hypothesis on the second fundamental form is necessary. We can also prove the same kind of rigidity results for surfaces with parallel weighted mean curvature vector in ℝ n {{\mathbb{R}}^{n}} with radial weight. These results are applications of a new generalization of Cauchy’s Theorem in complex analysis which concludes that a complex function is identically zero or its zeroes are isolated if it satisfies some weak holomorphy.

Let M be an n-dimensional connected submanifold in an mdimensional Euclidean space Em. Denote by δ the Laplacian of M associated with the induced metric. Then the position vector x and the mean curvature vector H of Min Em satisfyThis yields the following fact: a submanifold M in Em is minimal if and only if all coordinate functions of Em, restricted to M, are harmonic functions. In other words, minimal submanifolds in Emare constructed from eigenfunctions of δ with one eigenvalue 0. By using (1. 1), T. Takahashi proved that minimal submanifolds of a hypersphere of Em are constructed from eigenfunctions of δ with one eigenvalue δ (≠0). In [3, 4], Chen initiated the study of submanifolds in Em which are constructed from harmonic functions and eigenfunctions of δ with a nonzero eigenvalue. The position vector x of such a submanifold admits the following simple spectral decomposition:for some non-constant maps x0and xq, where A is a nonzero constant. He simply calls such a submanifold a submanifold of null 2-type.

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.

LetMbe a compact embedded submanifold with parallel mean curvature vector and positive Ricci curvature in the unit sphereS n+p(n≥2 ,p≥1). By using the Sobolev inequalities of P. Li (1980) toLpestimate for the square lengthσof the second fundamental form and the norm of a tensorΦ, related to the second fundamental form, we set up some rigidity theorems. Denote by‖σ‖ptheLpnorm ofσandHthe constant mean curvature ofM. It is shown that there is a constantCdepending only onn,H, andkwhere(n−1) kis the lower bound of Ricci curvature such that if‖σ‖ n/2<C, thenMis a totally umbilic hypersurface in the sphereS n+1.

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 $S_0=n+\frac{n^3}{2(n-1)}H^2+\frac{n(n-2)}{2(n-1)}\sqrt{n^2H^4+4(n-1)H^2}$.

We prove${\it\epsilon}$-closeness of hypersurfaces to a sphere in Euclidean space under the assumption that the traceless second fundamental form is${\it\delta}$-small compared to the mean curvature. We give the explicit dependence of${\it\delta}$on${\it\epsilon}$within the class of uniformly convex hypersurfaces with bounded volume.

By using the integral method, we prove a rigidity theorem for spacelike self-shrinkers in pseudo-Euclidean space under a minor growth condition in terms of the mean curvature and the second fundamental form, which generalizes Theorem 1.1 in [H. Q. Liu and Y. L. Xin, Some Results on Space-Like Self-Shrinkers, Acta Math. Sin. (Engl. Ser.) 32(1) (2016) 69–82].
