A Gluing Construction for Prescribed Mean Curvature
نویسنده
چکیده
The gluing technique is used to construct hypersurfaces in Euclidean space having approximately constant prescribed mean curvature. These surfaces are perturbations of unions of finitely many spheres of the same radius assembled end-to-end along a line segment. The condition on the existence of these hypersurfaces is the vanishing of the sum of certain integral moments of the spheres with respect the prescribed mean curvature function.

On the topology of vacuum spacetimes
We prove that there are no restrictions on the spatial topology of asymptotically flat solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations in (n + 1)-dimensions. We do this by gluing a solution of the vacuum constraint equations on an arbitrary compact manifold Σn to an asymptotically Euclidean solution of the constraints on Rn. This is a special case of a more general gluing construction for nondegener...
متن کاملCMC hypersurfaces condensing to geodesic segments and rays in Riemannian manifolds
We construct examples of compact and one-ended constant mean curvature surfaces with large mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds with axial symmetry by gluing together small spheres positioned end-to-end along a geodesic. Such surfaces cannot exist in Euclidean space, but we show that the gradient of the ambient scalar curvature acts as a ‘friction term’ which permits the usual analytic gluing...
متن کاملConnected Sum Constructions for Constant Scalar Curvature Metrics
We give a general procedure for gluing together possibly noncompact manifolds of constant scalar curvature which satisfy an extra nondegeneracy hypothesis. Our aim is to provide a simple paradigm for making “analytic” connected sums. In particular, we can easily construct complete metrics of constant positive scalar curvature on the complement of certain configurations of an even number of poin...
متن کاملGluing initial data sets for general relativity.
We establish an optimal gluing construction for general relativistic initial data sets. The construction is optimal in two distinct ways. First, it applies to generic initial data sets and the required (generically satisfied) hypotheses are geometrically and physically natural. Second, the construction is completely local in the sense that the initial data is left unaltered on the complement of...
متن کاملConstant mean curvature hypersurfaces in S n + 1 by gluing spherical building blocks
The techniques developed by Butscher (Gluing constructions amongst constant mean curvature hypersurfaces of Sn+1) for constructing constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces in Sn+1 by gluing together spherical building blocks are generalized to handle less symmetric initial configurations. The outcome is that the approximately CMC hypersurface obtained by gluing the initial configuration toge...
