Convex hypersurfaces of prescribed curvatures
For a smooth strictly convex closed hypersurface Σ in R, the Gauss map n : Σ → S is a diffeomorphism. A fundamental question in classical differential geometry concerns how much one can recover through the inverse Gauss map when some information is prescribed on S ([27]). This question has attracted much attention for more than a hundred years. The most notable example is probably the Minkowski...
متن کاملAffine complete locally convex hypersurfaces
An open problem in affine geometry is whether an affine complete locally uniformly convex hypersurface in Euclidean (n + 1)-space is Euclidean complete for n ≥ 2. In this paper we give the affirmative answer. As an application, it follows that an affine complete, affine maximal surface in R3 must be an elliptic paraboloid.
متن کاملConvex Hypersurfaces with Pinched Principal Curvatures and Flow of Convex Hypersurfaces by High Powers of Curvature
We consider convex hypersurfaces for which the ratio of principal curvatures at each point is bounded by a function of the maximum principal curvature with limit 1 at infinity. We prove that the ratio of circumradius to inradius is bounded by a function of the circumradius with limit 1 at zero. We apply this result to the motion of hypersurfaces by arbitrary speeds which are smooth homogeneous ...
متن کاملConvexity of Hypersurfaces in Spherical Spaces
A spherical set is called convex if for every pair of its points there is at least one minimal geodesic segment that joins these points and lies in the set. We prove that for n ≥ 3 a complete locally-convex (topological) immersion of a connected (n−1)-manifold into the n-sphere is a surjection onto the boundary of a convex set.
متن کاملDeformations of Unbounded Convex Bodies and Hypersurfaces
We study the topology of the space ∂K of complete convex hypersurfaces of R which are homeomorphic to Rn−1. In particular, using Minkowski sums, we construct a deformation retraction of ∂K onto the Grassmannian space of hyperplanes. So every hypersurface in ∂K may be flattened in a canonical way. Further, the total curvature of each hypersurface evolves continuously and monotonically under this...
