Gluing Constructions Amongst Constant Mean Curvature Hypersurfaces in S
نویسنده
چکیده
Four constructions of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces in S are given, which should be considered analogues of ‘classical’ constructions that are possible for CMC hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. First, Delaunay-like hypersurfaces, consisting roughly of a chain of hyperspheres winding multiple times around an equator, are shown to exist for all values of the mean curvature. Second, a hypersurface is constructed which consists of two chains of spheres winding around a pair of orthogonal equators, showing that Delaunay-like hypersurfaces can be fused together in a symmetric manner. Third, a Delaunay-like handle can be attached to a generalized Clifford torus of the same mean curvature. Finally, two generalized Clifford tori of equal but opposite mean curvature of any magnitude can be attached to each other by symmetrically positioned Delaunay-like ‘arms’. This last result extends Butscher and Pacard’s doubling construction for generalized Clifford tori of small mean curvature.

Constant 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...

متن کاملGeneralized Doubling Constructions for Constant Mean Curvature Hypersurfaces in S
The sphere S contains a simple family of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces of the form Λp,q a ≡ S p(a)×Sq( √ 1− a) for p+ q+1 = n and a ∈ (0, 1) called the generalized Clifford hypersurfaces. This paper demonstrates that new, topologically non-trivial CMC hypersurfaces resembling a pair of neighbouring generalized Clifford tori connected to each other by small catenoidal bridges at a ...
