In this paper, we give a complete description of all translation hypersurfaces with constant r-curvature Sr, in the Euclidean space.
It is shown that the estimates obtained by Manfredo P. do Carmo and Detang Zhou, in their paper "Eigenvalue estimate on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds and applications", for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on open manifolds, via an oscillation theorem, can be naturally extended for the semi-elliptic singular operator operator, p-Laplace on manifolds.
We establish a method for giving lower bounds for the fundamental tone of elliptic operators in divergence form in terms of the divergence of vector fields. We then apply this method to the $L_{r}$ operator associated to immersed hypersurfaces with locally bounded $(r+1)$-th mean curvature $H_{r+1}$ of the space forms $\mathbb{N}^{n+1}(c)$ of curvature $c$. As a corollary we give lower bounds for the extrinsic radius of closed hypersurfaces of $\mathbb{N}^{n+1}(c)$ with $H_{r+1}>0$ in terms of the $r$-th and $(r+1)$-th mean curvatures. Finally we observe that bounds for the Laplace eigenvalues essentially bound the eigenvalues of a self-adjoint elliptic differential operator in divergence form. This allows us to show that Cheeger's constant gives a lower bounds for the first nonzero $L_{r}$-eigenvalue of a closed hypersurface of $\mathbb{N}^{n+1}(c)$.
