Morse Index of Constant Mean Curvature Tori of Revolution in the 3-sphere

چکیده
We compute lower bounds for the Morse index and nullity of constant mean curvature tori of revolution in the three-dimensional unit sphere. In particular, all such tori have index at least five, with index growing at least linearly with respect to the number of the surfaces’ bulges, and the index of such tori can be arbitrarily large.

Cmc Tori of Revolution in S: Additional Data on the Spectra of Their Jacobi Operators
Abstract. We prove a theorem about elliptic operators with symmetric potential functions, defined on a function space over a closed loop. The result is similar to a known result for a function space on an interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions. These theorems provide accurate numerical methods for finding the spectra of those operators over either type of function space. As an application,...
متن کاملFamilies of Conformal Tori of Revolution in the 3–sphere
For all positive integers n we construct a 1–parameter family of conformal tori of revolution in the 3–sphere with n bulges. These tori arise by Darboux transformations of constant mean curvature tori in the 3–sphere but do not have constant mean curvature in S.
متن کاملOn the Moduli of Constant Mean Curvature Cylinders of Finite Type in the 3-sphere
We show that one-sided Alexandrov embedded constant mean curvature cylinders of finite type in the 3-sphere have spectral genus g ≤ 1. This confirms a conjecture by Pinkall and Sterling that the only embedded constant mean curvature tori in the 3-sphere are tori of revolution.
متن کاملInstability of constant mean curvature surfaces of revolution in spherically symmetric spaces
We study the stability properties of constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces of revolution in general simply-connected spherically symmetric 3-spaces, and in the particular case of a positive-definite 3dimensional slice of Schwarzschild space. We derive their Jacobi operators, and then prove that closed CMC tori of revolution in such spaces are unstable, and finally numerically compute the Morse...
متن کاملLower bounds for Morse index of constant mean curvature tori
In the paper, three lower bounds are given for the Morse index of a constant mean curvature torus in Euclidean 3-space, in terms of its spectral genus g. The first two lower bounds grow linearly in g and are stronger for smaller values of g, while the third grows quadratically in g but is weaker for smaller values of g.
