Stochastic half-space theorems for minimal surfaces and $H$-surfaces of $mathbb{R}^{3}$


Abstract in English

We prove a version of the strong half-space theorem between the classes of recurrent minimal surfaces and complete minimal surfaces with bounded curvature of $mathbb{R}^{3}_{raisepunct{.}}$ We also show that any minimal hypersurface immersed with bounded curvature in $Mtimes R_+$ equals some $Mtimes {s}$ provided $M$ is a complete, recurrent $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with $text{Ric}_M geq 0$ and whose sectional curvatures are bounded from above. For $H$-surfaces we prove that a stochastically complete surface $M$ can not be in the mean convex side of a $H$-surface $N$ embedded in $R^3$ with bounded curvature if $sup vert H_{_M}vert < H$, or ${rm dist}(M,N)=0$ when $sup vert H_{_M}vert = H$. Finally, a maximum principle at infinity is shown assuming $M$ has non-empty boundary.
