Closed Hypersurfaces Driven by Mean Curvature and Inner Pressure

Constant mean curvature hypersurfaces foliated by spheres ∗

We ask when a constant mean curvature n-submanifold foliated by spheres in one of the Euclidean, hyperbolic and Lorentz–Minkowski spaces (En+1, Hn+1 or Ln+1), is a hypersurface of revolution. In En+1 and Ln+1 we will assume that the spheres lie in parallel hyperplanes and in the case of hyperbolic space Hn+1, the spheres will be contained in parallel horospheres. Finally, Riemann examples in L3...

Partial Regularity of Mean-Convex Hypersurfaces Flowing by Mean Curvature

In this paper we announce various new results about singularities in the mean curvature flow. Some results apply to any weak solution (i.e., any Brakke flow of integral varifolds.) Our strongest results, however, are for initially regular mean-convex hypersurfaces. (We say a hypersurface is mean-convex if it bounds a region such that the mean curvature with respect to the inward unit normal is ...

Closed Hypersurfaces of Prescribed Mean Curvature in Locally Conformally Flat Riemannian Manifolds

We prove the existence of smooth closed hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature homeomorphic to S for small n, n ≤ 6, provided there are barriers. 0. Introduction In a complete (n+1)-dimensional manifold N we want to find closed hypersurfaces M of prescribed mean curvature. To be more precise, let Ω be a connected open subset of N , f ∈ C(Ω̄), then we look for a closed hypersurface M ⊂ Ω such...

Total Mean Curvature and Closed Geodesics

The proofs and applications are based on a Riemannian version of Gromov’s non-squeezing theorem and classical integral geometry. Given a convex surface Σ ⊂ R and a point q in the unit sphere S we denote by UΣ(q) the perimeter of the orthogonal projection of Σ onto a plane perpendicular to q. We obtain a function UΣ on the sphere which is clearly continuous, even, and positive. Let us denote the...
