Stability from rigidity via umbilicity
Abstract
We consider a range of geometric stability problems for hypersurfaces of spaceforms. One of the key results is an estimate relating the distance to a geodesic sphere of an embedded hypersurface with integral norms of the traceless Hessian operator of a level set function for the open set bounded by the hypersurface. As application, we give a unified treatment of many old and new stability problems arising in geometry and analysis. Those problems ask for spherical closeness of a hypersurface, given a geometric constraint. Examples include stability in Alexandroff's soap bubble theorem in space forms, Serrin's overdetermined problem, a Steklov problem involving the bi-Laplace operator and non-convex Alexandroff-Fenchel inequalities.
