We show that a properly immersed minimal hypersurface in M x R_+ equals some M x {c} when M is a complete, recurrent n-dimensional Riemannian manifold with bounded curvature. If on the other hand, M has nonnegative Ricci curvature with curvature bounded below, the same result holds for any positive entire minimal graph over M.
We prove a Simons type formula for submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector field in product spaces of type $M^n(c)\times\mathbb{R}$, where $M^n(c)$ is a space form with constant sectional curvature $c$, and then we use it to characterize some of these submanifolds.
We find a Simons type formula for submanifolds with parallel mean curvature vector (pmc submanifolds) in product spaces $M^n(c)\times\mathbb{R}$, where $M^n(c)$ is a space form with constant sectional curvature $c$, and then we use it to prove a gap theorem for the mean curvature of certain complete proper-biharmonic pmc submanifolds, and classify proper-biharmonic pmc surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^n(c)\times\mathbb{R}$.
In this paper we study minimal and constant mean curvature (cmc) periodic surfaces in H^2 x R. More precisely, we consider quotients of H^2 x R by discrete groups of isometries generated by horizontal hyperbolic translations f and/or a vertical translation T. In the quotient by the Z^2 subgroup of the isometry group generated by any f and T, we prove an Alexandrov-type theorem for cmc surfaces, i.e., an analysis of compact embedded cmc surfaces in such a quotient. The remainder of the paper is devoted to construct examples of periodic minimal surfaces in H^2 x R.
In this paper we classify complete surfaces of constant mean curvature whose Gaussian curvature does not change sign in a simply connected homogeneous manifold with a 4-dimensional isometry group.
We prove the existence of embedded closed constant curvature curves on convex surfaces.
We prove a Simons type equation for non-minimal surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector (pmc surfaces) in $M^3(c)\times\mathbb{R}$, where $M^3(c)$ is a 3-dimensional space form. Then, we use this equation in order to characterize certain complete non-minimal pmc surfaces.
We prove rigidity of oriented isometric immersions of complete surfaces in the homo- geneous 3-manifolds E(k; τ) (different from the space forms) having the same positive extrinsic curvature.
We use a Simons type equation in order to characterize complete non-minimal pmc surfaces with non-negative Gaussian curvature.
We prove a Simons type equation for non-minimal surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector (pmc surfaces) in $M^n(c)\times\mathbb{R}$, where $M^n(c)$ is an $n$-dimensional space form. Then, we use this equation in order to characterize complete non-minimal pmc surfaces with non-negative Gaussian curvature.
We study the embedded Calabi-Yau problem for complete embedded constant mean curvature surfaces of finite topology or of positive injectivity radius in a simply-connected three-dimensional Lie group X endowed with a left-invariant Riemannian metric. We first prove a half-space theorem for constant mean curvature surfaces. This half-space theorem applies to certain properly immersed constant mean curvature surfaces of X contained in the complements of normal R^2 subgroups F of X. In the case X is a unimodular Lie group, our results imply that every minimal surface in X-F that is properly immersed in X is a left translate of F and that every complete embedded minimal surface of finite topology or of positive injectivity radius in X-F is also a left translate of F.
We consider surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector (pmc surfaces) in $\mathbb{C}P^n\times\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{C}H^n\times\mathbb{R}$, and, more generally, in cosymplectic space forms. We introduce a holomorphic quadratic differential on such surfaces. This is then used in order to show that the anti-invariant pmc $2$-spheres of a $5$-dimensional non-flat cosymplectic space form of product type are actually the embedded rotational spheres $S_H^2\subset\bar M^2\times\mathbb{R}$ of Hsiang and Pedrosa, where $\bar M^2$ is a complete simply-connected surface with constant curvature. When the ambient space is a cosymplectic space form of product type and its dimension is greater than $5$, we prove that an immersed non-minimal non-pseudo-umbilical anti-invariant $2$-sphere lies in a product space $\bar M^4\times\mathbb{R}$, where $\bar M^4$ is a space form. We also provide a reduction of codimension theorem for the pmc surfaces of a non-flat cosymplectic space form.
For all $m \in \mathbb N - \{0\}$, we prove the existence of a one dimensional family of genus $m$, constant mean curvature (equal to 1) surfaces which are complete, immersed in $\mathbb R^3$ and have two Delaunay ends asymptotic to nodo\"ıdal ends. Moreover, these surfaces are invariant under the group of isometries of $\mathbb R^3$ leaving a horizontal regular polygon with $m+1$ sides fixed.
We prove some half-space theorems for minimal surfaces in the Heisenberg group Nil_3 and the Lie group Sol_3 endowed with their left-invariant Riemannian metrics. If S is a properly immersed minimal surface in Nil_3 that lies on one side of some entire minimal graph G, then S is the image of G by a vertical translation. If S is a properly immersed minimal surface in Sol_3 that lies on one side of a special plane, then S is another special plane.
In this paper we will prove Hadamard-Stoker type theorems in the following ambient spaces: $\man ^n \times \r$, where $\man ^n $ is a $1/4-$pinched manifold, and certain Killing submersions, e.g., Berger spheres and Heisenberg spaces. That is, under the condition that the principal curvatures of an immersed hypersurfaces are greater than some non-negative constant (depending on the ambient space), we prove that such a hypersurface is embedded and we also study its topology.
We consider operators $L$ acting on functions on a Riemannian surface, $Σ$, of the form $L = Δ+ V +a K.$ Here $Δ$ is the Laplacian of $Σ$, $V$ a non-negative potential on $Σ$, K the Gaussian curvature and $a$ is a non-negative constant. Such operators $L$ arise as the stability operator of $Σ$ immersed in a Riemannian 3-manifold with constant mean curvature (for particular choices of $V$ and $a$). We assume L is nonpositive acting on functions compactly supported on $Σ$ and we obtain results in the spirit of some theorems of Ficher-Colbrie-Schoen, Colding-Minicozzi, and Castillon. We extend these theorems to $a \leq 1/4$. We obtain results on the conformal type of $Σ$ and a distance (to the boundary) lemma.
We obtain an estimate for the norm of the second fundamental form of stable H-surfaces in Riemannian 3-manifolds with bounded sectional curvature. Our estimate depends on the distance to the boundary of the surface and on the bounds on the geometry of the ambient manifold but not on the manifold itself. We give some applications, in particular we obtain an interior gradient estimate for H-sections in Killing submersions.
In this paper we extend a recent result of Collin-Rosenberg ({\it a solution to the minimal surface equation in the Euclidean disc has radial limits almost everywhere}) to a large class of differential operators in Divergence form. Moreover, we construct an example (in the spirit of \cite{CR2}) of a minimal graph in $\mr$, where $\m$ is a Hadamard surface, over a geodesic disc which has finite radial limits in a mesure zero set.
