چکیده

We provide a new topological obstruction for complete stable minimal hypersurfaces in IRn+1. For n ≥ 3, we prove that a complete orientable stable minimal hypersurface in IRn+1 cannot have more than one end by showing the existence of a bounded harmonic function based on the Sobolev inequality for minimal submanifolds [MS] and by applying the Liouville theorem for harmonic functions due to Schoen-Yau [SY].

$L_1$-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...

Hoph Hypersurfaces of Sasakian Space Form with Parallel Ricci Operator Esmaiel Abedi, Mohammad Ilmakchi Department of Mathematics, Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University, Tabriz, Iran

Let M^2n be a hoph hypersurfaces with parallel ricci operator and tangent to structure vector field in Sasakian space form. First, we show that structures and properties of hypersurfaces and hoph hypersurfaces in Sasakian space form. Then we study the structure of hypersurfaces and hoph hypersurfaces with a parallel ricci tensor structure and show that there are two cases. In the first case, th...

The structure of weakly stable minimal hypersurfaces.

In this short communication, we announce results from our research on the structure of complete noncompact oriented weakly stable minimal hypersurfaces in a manifold of nonnegative sectional curvature. In particular, a complete oriented weakly stable minimal hypersurface in Rm, m > or = 4, must have only one end; any complete noncompact oriented weakly stable minimal hypersurface has only one e...

$L_k$-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...

The structure of stable constant mean curvature hypersufaces

We study the global behavior of (weakly) stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in general Riemannian manifolds. By using harmonic function theory, we prove some one-end theorems which are new even for constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in space forms. In particular, a complete oriented weakly stable minimal hypersurface in Rn+1, n ≥ 3, must have only one end. Any complete noncompact w...
