Prescribing Mean Curvature: Existence and Uniqueness Problems
The results in this paper are part of a program to understand to what extent one can use mean curvature data to determine the shape of a surface in R. The first section of the paper presents some new results on a uniqueness problem suggested by Bonnet. A generic immersion is uniquely determined up to a rigid motion by its first fundamental form and its mean curvature function, but there are som...
متن کاملBackwards Uniqueness of the Mean Curvature Flow
In this note we prove the backwards uniqueness of the mean curvature flow in codimension one case. More precisely,let Ft, e Ft : M → M n+1 be two complete solutions of the mean curvature flow on M×[0, T ] with bounded second fundamental form in a complete ambient manifold with bounded geometry. Suppose FT = e FT , then Ft = e Ft on M n × [0, T ]. This is an analog of a recent result of Kotschwa...
متن کاملExistence and Uniqueness of Constant Mean Curvature Foliation of Asymptotically Hyperbolic 3-manifolds
We prove existence and uniqueness of foliations by stable spheres with constant mean curvature for 3-manifolds which are asymptotic to Anti-de Sitter-Schwarzschild metrics with positive mass. These metrics arise naturally as spacelike timeslices for solutions of the Einstein equation with a negative cosmological constant.
متن کاملUniqueness and existence of spirals moving by forced mean curvature motion
In this paper, we study the motion of spirals by mean curvature type motion in the (two dimensional) plane. Our motivation comes from dislocation dynamics; in this context, spirals appear when a screw dislocation line reaches the surface of a crystal. The first main result of this paper is a comparison principle for the corresponding parabolic quasi-linear equation. As far as motion of spirals ...
متن کاملSome Characterization, Uniqueness and Existence Results for Euclidean Graphs of Constant Mean Curvature with Planar Boundary
We establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the cmc surface equation, including the minimal one, for zero boundary data, in certain domains of the plane. We obtain results that characterize the sphere and cmc graphs among compact embedded cmc surfaces with planar boundary satisfying certain geometric conditions. We also find conditions that imply that a c...
