چکیده
We show that for elliptic parametric functionals whose Wulff shape is smooth and has strictly positive curvature, any surface with constant anisotropic mean curvature which is a topological sphere is a rescaling of the Wulff shape.

Equilibria for anisotropic surface energies with wetting and line tension
We study the stability of surfaces trapped between two parallel planes with free boundary on these planes. The energy functional consists of anisotropic surface energy, wetting energy, and line tension. Equilibrium surfaces are surfaces with constant anisotropic mean curvature. We study the case where the Wulff shape is of a special type of “product form”, that is, its horizontal sections are a...
متن کاملStability and Bifurcation for Surfaces with Constant Mean Curvature
We give criteria for the existence of smooth bifurcation branches of fixed boundary CMC surfaces in R, and we discuss stability/instability issues for the surfaces in bifurcating branches. To illustrate the theory, we discuss an explicit example obtained from a bifurcating branch of fixed boundary unduloids inR.
متن کاملUniqueness Theorems for Stable Anisotropic Capillary Surfaces
We consider capillary surfaces for certain rotationally invariant elliptic parametric functionals supported on two hydrophobically wetted horizontal plates separated by a fixed distance. It is shown that each such stable capillary surface is uniquely determined by the volume interior to the surface.
متن کاملRolling Construction for Anisotropic Delaunay Surfaces
Anisotropic Delaunay surfaces are surfaces of revolution with constant anisotropic mean curvature. We show how the generating curves of such surfaces can be obtained as the trace of a point held in a fixed position relative to a curve which is rolled without slipping along a line. This generalizes the classical construction for surfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature due to Delaunay...
متن کاملSurfaces in Four-dimensional Hyperkähler Manifolds Whose Twistor Lifts Are Harmonic Sections
We determine surfaces of genus zero in self-dual Einstein manifolds whose twistor lifts are harmonic sections. We apply our main theorem to the case of four-dimensional hyperkähler manifolds. As a corollary, we prove that a surface of genus zero in four-dimensional Euclidean space is twistor holomorphic if its twistor lift is a harmonic section. In particular, if the mean curvature vector field...
