In 1968, Simons introduced the concept of index for hypersurfaces immersed into the Euclidean sphere S^{n+1}. Intuitively, the index measures the number of independent directions in which a given hypersurface fails to minimize area. The earliest results regarding the index focused on the case of minimal hypersurfaces. Many such results established lower bounds for the index. More recently, however, mathematicians have generalized these results to hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature. In this paper, we consider hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature immersed into the sphere and give lower bounds for the index under new assumptions about the immersed manifold.

In this article, we study hypersurfaces $Sigmasubset mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with constant weighted mean curvature. Recently, Wei-Peng proved a rigidity theorem for CWMC hypersurfaces that generalizes Le-Sesum classification theorem for self-shrinker. More specifically, they showed that a complete CWMC hypersurface with polynomial volume growth, bounded norm of the second fundamental form and that satisfies $|A|^2H(H-lambda)leq H^2/2$ must either be a hyperplane or a generalized cylinder. We generalize this result by removing the bound condition on the norm of the second fundamental form. Moreover, we prove that under some conditions if the reverse inequality holds then the hypersurface must either be a hyperplane or a generalized cylinder. As an application of one of the results proved in this paper, we will obtain another version of the classification theorem obtained by the authors of this article, that is, we show that under some conditions, a complete CWMC hypersurface with $Hgeq 0$ must either be a hyperplane or a generalized cylinder.
A classical problem in constant mean curvature hypersurface theory is, for given $Hgeq 0$, to determine whether a compact submanifold $Gamma^{n-1}$ of codimension two in Euclidean space $R_+^{n+1}$, having a single valued orthogonal projection on $R^n$, is the boundary of a graph with constant mean curvature $H$ over a domain in $R^n$. A well known result of Serrin gives a sufficient condition, namely, $Gamma$ is contained in a right cylinder $C$ orthogonal to $R^n$ with inner mean curvature $H_Cgeq H$. In this paper, we prove existence and uniqueness if the orthogonal projection $L^{n-1}$ of $Gamma$ on $R^n$ has mean curvature $H_Lgeq-H$ and $Gamma$ is contained in a cone $K$ with basis in $R^n$ enclosing a domain in $R^n$ containing $L$ such that the mean curvature of $K$ satisfies $H_Kgeq H$. Our condition reduces to Serrins when the vertex of the cone is infinite.
In this paper, we study constant weighted mean curvature hypersurfaces in shrinking Ricci solitons. First, we show that a constant weighted mean curvature hypersurface with finite weighted volume cannot lie in a region determined by a special level set of the potential function, unless it is the level set. Next, we show that a compact constant weighted mean curvature hypersurface with a certain upper bound or lower bound on the mean curvature is a level set of the potential function. We can apply both results to the cylinder shrinking Ricci soliton ambient space. Finally, we show that a constant weighted mean curvature hypersurface in the Gaussian shrinking Ricci soliton (not necessarily properly immersed) with a certain assumption on the integral of the second fundamental form must be a generalized cylinder.
In the last 15 years, White and Huisken-Sinestrari developed a far-reaching structure theory for the mean curvature flow of mean convex hypersurfaces. Their papers provide a package of estimates and structural results that yield a precise description of singularities and of high curvature regions in a mean convex flow. In the present paper, we give a new treatment of the theory of mean convex (and k-convex) flows. This includes: (1) an estimate for derivatives of curvatures, (2) a convexity estimate, (3) a cylindrical estimate, (4) a global convergence theorem, (5) a structure theorem for ancient solutions, and (6) a partial regularity theorem. Our new proofs are both more elementary and substantially shorter than the original arguments. Our estimates are local and universal. A key ingredient in our new approach is the new non- collapsing result of Andrews. Some parts are also inspired by the work of Perelman. In a forthcoming paper, we will give a new construction of mean curvature flow with surgery based on the theorems established in the present paper.
We study the uniqueness of horospheres and equidistant spheres in hyperbolic space under different conditions. First we generalize the Bernstein theorem by Do Carmo and Lawson to the embedded hypersurfaces with constant higher order mean curvature. Then we prove two Bernstein type results for immersed hypersurfaces under different assumptions. Last, we show the rigidity of horospheres and equidistant spheres in terms of their higher order mean curvatures.
