Ricci curvature, minimal surfaces and sphere theorems
Using an analogue of Myers’ theorem for minimal surfaces and three dimensional topology, we prove the diameter sphere theorem for Ricci curvature in dimension three and a corresponding eigenvalue pinching theorem. This settles these two problems for closed manifolds with positive Ricci curvature since they are both false in dimensions greater than three. §
متن کاملMean Curvature One Surfaces in Hyperbolic Space, and Their Relationship to Minimal Surfaces in Euclidean Space
We describe local similarities and global differences between minimal surfaces in Euclidean 3-space and constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space. We also describe how to solve global period problems for constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space, and we give an overview of recent results on these surfaces. We include computer graphics of a number of examples.
متن کاملConstant Mean Curvature Surfaces in a Half-Space of R With Boundary in the Boundary of the Half-Space
The structure of the set of compact constant mean curvature surfaces whose boundary is a given Jordan curve in R seems far from being understood. We shall consider a simple, but interesting, situation concerning this problem: Assume that M be an embedded compact H-surface in R+ = {x3 ≥ 0} with ∂M = Γ ⊂ P = {x3 = 0}. Then, there is little known about the geometry and topology of M in terms of Γ....
متن کاملStructure Theorems for Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces Bounded by a Planar Curve
3 is the boundary of two spherical caps of constant mean curvature H for any positive number H, which is at most the radius of C. It is natural to ask whether spherical caps are the only possible examples. Some examples of constant mean curvature immersed tori by Wente [7] indicate that there are compact genus-one immersed constant mean curvature surfaces with boundary C that are approximated b...
متن کاملThe Space of Complete Minimal Surfaces with Finite Total Curvature as Lagrangian Submanifold
The spaceM of nondegenerate, properly embedded minimal surfaces in R3 with finite total curvature and fixed topology is an analytic lagrangian submanifold of Cn, where n is the number of ends of the surface. In this paper we give two expressions, one integral and the other pointwise, for the second fundamental form of this submanifold. We also consider the compact boundary case, and we show tha...
