Existence of Convex Hypersurfaces with Prescribed Gauss-kronecker Curvature
Let f(x) be a given positive function in Rn+1. In this paper we consider the existence of convex, closed hypersurfaces X so that its GaussKronecker curvature at x ∈ X is equal to f(x). This problem has variational structure and the existence of stable solutions has been discussed by Tso (J. Diff. Geom. 34 (1991), 389–410). Using the Mountain Pass Lemma and the Gauss curvature flow we prove the ...
متن کاملA pr 2 00 3 Immersions with fractal set of points of zero Gauss - Kronecker curvature
We construct, for any " good " Cantor set F of S n−1 , an immersion of the sphere S n with set of points of zero Gauss-Kronecker curvature equal to F ×D 1 , where D 1 is the 1-dimensional disk. In particular these examples show that the theorem of Matheus-Oliveira strictly extends two results by do Carmo-Elbert and Barbosa-Fukuoka-Mercuri.
متن کاملMotion of Hypersurfaces by Gauss Curvature
We consider n-dimensional convex Euclidean hypersurfaces moving with normal velocity proportional to a positive power α of the Gauss curvature. We prove that hypersurfaces contract to points in finite time, and for α ∈ (1/(n + 2], 1/n] we also prove that in the limit the solutions evolve purely by homothetic contraction to the final point. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions for non-...
متن کاملPositive Scalar Curvature and Minimal Hypersurfaces
We show that the minimal hypersurface method of Schoen and Yau can be used for the “quantitative” study of positive scalar curvature. More precisely, we show that if a manifold admits a metric g with sg ≥ |T | or sg ≥ |W |, where sg is the scalar curvature of of g, T any 2-tensor on M and W the Weyl tensor of g, then any closed orientable stable minimal (totally geodesic in the second case) hyp...
متن کامل06 Singular Minimal Hypersurfaces and Scalar Curvature
Finding obstructions to positive scalar curvature and getting structural insight is presently based on two competing approaches: one path which is most travelled works in the context of spin geometry and gives quite a direct link to topology (cf. [GL1-2] and [G]). The second, much less used but a priori more general method of attack analyzes minimal hypersurfaces within the manifold under consi...
