On the volume of locally conformally flat 4 dimensional hypersphere

Let $M$ be a 5 dimensional Riemannian manifold with $Sec_M\in[0,1]$, $Σ$ be a locally conformally flat hypersphere in $M$ with mean curvature $H$. We prove that, there exists $\varepsilon_0>0$, such that $\int_Σ(1+H^2)^2 \ge 8π^2/3$, provided $H \le \varepsilon_0$. In particular, if $Σ$ is a locally conformally flat minimal hypersphere in $M$, then $Vol(Σ) \ge 8π^2/3$, which partially answer a question proposed by Mazet and Rosenberg \cite{Ma&Rosen}. For an $(n+1)-$ dimensional rotationally symmetric Riemannian manifold $M$, we show that an immersed hypersurface $Σ$ is locally conformally flat if and only if ($n-1$) of the principal curvatures of $Σ$ are the same, which is a generalization of Cartan's result \cite{Cartan}. As an application, we prove that if $M$ is (some special but large class) rotationally symmetric 5-manifold with $Sec_M\in [0,1]$, and $Σ$ is a locally conformally flat hypersphere with mean curvature $H$, the inequality $\int_Σ(1+H^2)^2 \ge 8π^2/3$ holds for all $H$.

A note on the nonexistence of quasi-harmonic spheres

In this paper we study the properties of quasi-harmonic spheres from $\R^m, m>2$. We show that if the universal covering $\tilde N$ of $N$ admits a nonnegative strictly convex function $ρ$ with the exponential growth condition $ρ(y)\leq C\exp\left(\frac14\tilde d(y)^{2/m}\right)$ where $\tilde d(y)$ is the distance function on $\tilde N$, then $N$ does not admit a quasi-harmonic sphere, which generalize Li-Zhu's result \cite{Li2010non}. We also show that if $u$ is a quasi-harmonic sphere, then the property that $u$ is of finite energy ($\int_{\R^m}e(u)e^{-\abs{x}^2/4}\dif x<\infty$) is equivalent to the property that $u$ satisfies the large energy condition ($\lim_{R\to\infty}R^{m}e^{-R^2/4}\int_{B_R(0)}e(u)e^{-\abs{x}^2/4}\diff x=0$).
