The rigidity of embedded constant mean curvature surfaces

چکیده

We study the rigidity of complete, embedded constant mean curvature surfaces in R 3 . Among other things, we prove that when such a surface has finite genus, then intrinsic isometries of the surface extend to isometries of R 3 or its isometry group contains an index two subgroup of isometries that extend.

Linear Weingarten hypersurfaces in a unit sphere

In this paper, by modifying Cheng-Yau$'$s technique to complete hypersurfaces in $S^{n+1}(1)$, we prove a rigidity theorem under the hypothesis of the mean curvature and the normalized scalar curvature being linearly related which improve the result of [H. Li, Hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in space forms, {em Math. Ann.} {305} (1996), 665--672].

Local Rigidity of Surfaces in Space Forms

We prove that isometric embeddings of closed, embedded surfaces in R are locally rigid, i.e. they admit no non-trivial local isometric deformations, answering a question in classical differential geometry. The same result holds for abstract surfaces embedded in constant curvature 3-manifolds, provided a mild condition on the fundamental group holds.

Hyperbolic surfaces of $L_1$-2-type

In this paper, we show that an $L_1$-2-type surface in the three-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^3subset R^4_1$ either is an open piece of a standard Riemannian product $ H^1(-sqrt{1+r^2})times S^{1}(r)$, or it has non constant mean curvature, non constant Gaussian curvature, and non constant principal curvatures.

On the Geometry of Constant Mean Curvature One Surfaces in Hyperbolic Space

We give a geometric classification of regular ends with constant mean curvature 1 and finite total curvature, embedded in hyperbolic space. We prove that each such end is either asymptotic to a catenoid cousin or asymptotic to a horosphere. We also study symmetry properties of constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in hyperbolic space associated to minimal surfaces in Euclidean space. We describe t...

Structure 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...
