We prove that under some assumptions on the mean curvature the set of umbilical points of an immersed surface in a $3$-dimensional space form has positive measure. In case of an immersed sphere our result can be seen as a generalization of the celebrated Hopf theorem.
In this paper we consider a three dimensional Kropina space and obtain the partial differential equation that characterizes a minimal surfaces with the induced metric. Using this characterization equation we study various immersions of minimal surfaces. In particular, we obtain the partial differential equation that characterizes the minimal translation surfaces and show that the plane is the only such surface.
In this paper we consider the Matsumoto metric $F=frac{alpha^2}{alpha-beta}$, on the three dimensional real vector space and obtain the partial differential equations that characterize the minimal surfaces which are graphs of smooth functions and then we prove that plane is the only such surface. We also obtain the partial differential equation that characterizes the minimal translation surfaces and show that again plane is the only such surface.
In this paper, we introduce two notions on a surface in a contact manifold. The first one is called degree of transversality (DOT) which measures the transversality between the tangent spaces of a surface and the contact planes. The second quantity, called curvature of transversality (COT), is designed to give a comparison principle for DOT along characteristic curves under bounds on COT. In particular, this gives estimates on lengths of characteristic curves assuming COT is bounded below by a positive constant. We show that surfaces with constant COT exist and we classify all graphs in the Heisenberg group with vanishing COT. This is accomplished by showing that the equation for graphs with zero COT can be decomposed into two first order PDEs, one of which is the backward invisicid Burgers equation. Finally we show that the p-minimal graph equation in the Heisenberg group also has such a decomposition. Moreover, we can use this decomposition to write down an explicit formula of a solution near a regular point.
We give a condition under which the findings of the paper cited above work well and determine the surfaces that were not considered before. In this paper, we show that a parallel mean curvature surface of a general type in a complex two-dimensional complex space form depends on one real-valued harmonic function on the surface and five real constants if the ambient space is not flat, the mean curvature vector does not vanish, and the Kaehler angle is not constant.
We study the evolution of compact convex curves in two-dimensional space forms. The normal speed is given by the difference of the weighted inverse curvature with the support function, and in the case where the ambient space is the Euclidean plane, is equivalent to the standard inverse curvature flow. We prove that solutions exist for all time and converge exponentially fast in the smooth topology to a standard round geodesic circle. This has a number of consequences: first, to prove the isoperimetricinequality; second, to establish a range of weighted geometric inequalities; and third, to give a counterexample to the $n=2$ case of a conjecture of Gir~ao-Pinheiro.
