Minimal Surfaces in the Three-dimensional Sphere and Minimal Hypersurfaces of Type Number Two
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce canonical principal parameters on any strongly regular minimal surface in the three dimensional sphere and prove that any such a surface is determined up to a motion by its normal curvature function satisfying the Sinh-Poisson equation. We obtain a classification theorem for bi-umbilical hypersurfaces of type number two. We prove that any minimal hypersurface of type number two with involutive distribution is generated by a minimal surface in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, or in the three dimensional sphere. Thus we prove that the theory of minimal hypersurfaces of type number two with involutive distribution is locally equivalent to the theory of minimal surfaces in the three dimensional Euclidean space or in the three-dimensional sphere.

$L_1$-Biharmonic Hypersurfaces in Euclidean Spaces with Three Distinct Principal Curvatures
Chen's biharmonic conjecture is well-known and stays open: The only biharmonic submanifolds of Euclidean spaces are the minimal ones. In this paper, we consider an advanced version of the conjecture, replacing $Delta$ by its extension, $L_1$-operator ($L_1$-conjecture). The $L_1$-conjecture states that any $L_1$-biharmonic Euclidean hypersurface is 1-minimal. We prove that the $L_1$-conje...
متن کامل$L_k$-biharmonic spacelike hypersurfaces in Minkowski $4$-space $mathbb{E}_1^4$
Biharmonic surfaces in Euclidean space $mathbb{E}^3$ are firstly studied from a differential geometric point of view by Bang-Yen Chen, who showed that the only biharmonic surfaces are minimal ones. A surface $x : M^2rightarrowmathbb{E}^{3}$ is called biharmonic if $Delta^2x=0$, where $Delta$ is the Laplace operator of $M^2$. We study the $L_k$-biharmonic spacelike hypersurfaces in the $4$-dimen...
متن کاملRiemann minimal surfaces in higher dimensions
We prove the existence of a one parameter family of minimal embedded hypersurfaces in R, for n ≥ 3, which generalize the well known 2 dimensional ”Riemann minimal surfaces”. The hypersurfaces we obtain are complete, embedded, simply periodic hypersurfaces which have infinitely many parallel hyperplanar ends. By opposition with the 2-dimensional case, they are not foliated by spheres. Résumé. No...
متن کاملHigher dimensional Scherk’s hypersurfaces
In 3-dimensional Euclidean space Scherk second surfaces are singly periodic embedded minimal surfaces with 4 planar ends. In this paper, we obtain a natural generalization of Scherk’s second surfaces in higher dimensional Euclidean spaces. In particular we show that, in higher dimensional Euclidean spaces R, for n ≥ 3, there exists n−1-periodic embedded minimal hypersurfaces with 4 hyperplanar ...
متن کاملCompactness of the Space of Embedded Minimal Surfaces with Free Boundary in Three-manifolds with Nonnegative Ricci Curvature and Convex Boundary
We prove a lower bound for the first Steklov eigenvalue of embedded minimal hypersurfaces with free boundary in a compact n-dimensional Riemannian manifold which has nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary. When n “ 3, this implies an apriori curvature estimate for these minimal surfaces in terms of the geometry of the ambient manifold and the topology of the minimal surface. A...
