Immersed Spheres of Finite Total Curvature into Manifolds
We prove that a sequence of, possibly branched, weak immersions of the two-sphere S into an arbitrary compact riemannian manifold (M, h) with uniformly bounded area and uniformly bounded L−norm of the second fundamental form either collapse to a point or weakly converges as current, modulo extraction of a subsequence, to a Lipschitz mapping of S and whose image is made of a connected union of f...
متن کاملRICCI CURVATURE OF SUBMANIFOLDS OF A SASAKIAN SPACE FORM
Involving the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature, we obtain basic inequalities for different kind of submaniforlds of a Sasakian space form tangent to the structure vector field of the ambient manifold. Contrary to already known results, we find a different necessary and sufficient condition for the equality for Ricci curvature of C-totally real submanifolds of a Sasakian space form...
متن کاملMean Curvature Flow of Pinched Submanifolds to Spheres
The evolution of hypersurfaces by their mean curvature has been studied by many authors since the appearance of Gerhard Huisken’s seminal paper [Hu1]. More recently, mean curvature flow of higher codimension submanifolds has also received attention. In this paper we prove a result analogous to that of [Hu1] for submanifolds of any codimension. Let F0 : Σn → Rn+k be a smooth immersion of a compa...
متن کاملRegular Homotopy and Total Curvature
We consider properties of the total absolute geodesic curvature functional on circle immersions into a Riemann surface. In particular, we study its behavior under regular homotopies, its infima in regular homotopy classes, and the homotopy types of spaces of its local minima. We also consider the total curvature functional on the space of 2-sphere immersions into 3-space in a similar spirit. We...
متن کاملCurves, Knots, and Total Curvature
Charles Evans We present an exposition of various results dealing with the total curvature of curves in Euclidean 3-space. There are two primary results: Fenchel’s theorem and the theorem of Fary and Milnor. Fenchel’s theorem states that the total curvature of a simple closed curve is greater than or equal to 2π, with equality if and only if the curve is planar convex. The Fary-Milnor theorem s...
