Conformal Immersions of Prescribed Mean Curvature in R3
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove the existence of (branched) conformal immersions F : S → R with mean curvature H > 0 arbitrarily prescribed up to a 3-dimensional affine indeterminacy. A similar result is proved for the space forms S, H and partial results for surfaces of higher genus.

Conformal Immersions, and Gravity
Basic quantities related to 2-D gravity, such as Polyakov extrinsic action, Nambu-Goto action, geometrical action, and Euler characteristic are studied using generalized Weierstrass-Enneper (GWE) inducing of surfaces in R3. Connection of the GWE inducing with conformal immersion is made and various aspects of the theory are shown to be invariant under the modified VeselovNovikov hierarchy of fl...
متن کاملPrescribing 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 کاملIsometric Immersions and Compensated Compactness
A fundamental problem in differential geometry is to characterize intrinsic metrics on a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold M2 which can be realized as isometric immersions into R3. This problem can be formulated as initial and/or boundary value problems for a system of nonlinear partial differential equations of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type whose mathematical theory is largely incomplete. I...
متن کاملOn Surfaces of Prescribed F-Mean Curvature
Hypersurfaces of prescribed weighted mean curvature, or F -mean curvature, are introduced as critical immersions of anisotropic surface energies, thus generalizing minimal surfaces and surfaces of prescribed mean curvature. We first prove enclosure theorems in R for such surfaces in cylindrical boundary configurations. Then we derive a general second variation formula for the anisotropic surfac...
متن کاملStructurally Stable Configurations of Lines of Mean Curvature and Umbilic Points on Surfaces Immersed in R
In this paper we study the pairs of orthogonal foliations on oriented surfaces immersed in R3 whose singularities and leaves are, respectively, the umbilic points and the lines of normal mean curvature of the immersion. Along these lines the immersions bend in R3 according to their normal mean curvature. By analogy with the closely related Principal Curvature Configurations studied in [S-G], [G...
