    Full text link
    In this paper we show that the only properly immersed self-shrinkers Σin Rm+1with Morse index 1are the hyperplanes through the origin. Moreover, we prove that if Σis not a hyperplane through the origin then the index jumps and it is at least m +2, with equality if and only if Σis a cylinder Rm−k×Sk(√k)for some 1 ≤k≤m −

    Stability properties and topology at infinity of f-minimal hypersurfaces

    Full text link
    e study stability properties of f–minimal hypersurfaces isometrically immersed in weighted manifolds with non–negative Bakry–Emery Ricci ́ curvature under volume growth conditions. Moreover, exploiting a weighted version of a finiteness result and the adaptation to this setting of Li–Tam theory, we investigate the topology at infinity of f–minimal hypersurfaces. On the way, we prove a new comparison result in weighted geometry and we provide a general weighted L 1–Sobolev inequality for hypersurfaces in Cartan– Hadamard weighted manifolds, satisfying suitable restrictions on the weight function

    On the growth of supersolutions of nonlinear PDE's on exterior domains

    No full text
    We obtain a comparison principle on annuli, with “catenoid-like” functions, for supersolutions of non-linear elliptic PDEs over exterior domains in a non-positively curved manifold with a pole. This result is applied to get an upper estimate on the growth of such supersolutions and, in particular, of exterior graphs of non-negative mean curvatur

    Poincaré Inequality and Topological Rigidity of Translators and Self-Expanders for the Mean Curvature Flow

    Full text link
    We prove an abstract structure theorem for weighted manifolds supporting a weighted f -Poincaré inequality and whose ends satisfy a suitable non-integrability condition. We then study how our arguments can be used to obtain full topological control on two important classes of hypersurfaces of the Euclidean space, namely translators and selfexpanders for the mean curvature flow, under either stability or curvature asumptions. As an important intermediate step in order to get our results we get the validity of a Poincaré inequality with respect to the natural weighted measure on any translator and we prove that any end of a translator must have infinite weighted volume. Similar tools can be obtained for properly immersed self-expanders permitting to get topological rigidity under curvature assumptions

    Asymptotically non-negative Ricci curvature, elliptic Kato constant and isoperimetric inequalities

    No full text
    The ABP method for proving isoperimetric inequalities has been first employed by Cabré in R n, then developed by Brendle, notably in the context of non-compact Riemannian manifolds of non-negative Ricci curvature and positive asymptotic volume ratio. In this paper, we expand upon their approach and prove isoperimetric inequalities (sharp in the limit) in the presence of a small amount of negative curvature. First, we consider smallness of the negative part Ric− of the Ricci curvature in terms of its elliptic Kato constant. Indeed, the Kato constant turns out to control the non-negativity of the (∞)- Bakry-Émery Ricci-tensor of a suitable conformal deformation of the manifold, and the ABP method can be implemented in this setting. Secondly, we show that the smallness of the Kato constant is ensured provided that the asymptotic volume ratio is positive and either M has one end and asymptotically non-negative sectional curvature, or there is a suitable polynomial decay of Ric−, and the relative volume comparison condition known as (VC) holds. To show this latter fact, we enhance techniques elaborated by Li-Tam and Kasue to obtain new estimates of the Green function valid on the whole manifol

    The Frankel property for self-shrinkers from the viewpoint of elliptic PDEs

    Full text link
    We show that two properly embedded self-shrinkers in Euclidean space that are sufficiently separated at infinity must intersect at a finite point. The proof is based on a localized version of the Reilly formula applied to a suitable f-harmonic function with controlled gradient. In the immersed case, a new direct proof of the generalized half-space property is also presente
