    On the structure of hypersurfaces in Hn×R\mathbb{H}^n\times \mathbb{R} with finite strong total curvature

    Full text link
    We prove that if X:MnHn×RX:M^n\to\mathbb{H}^n\times \mathbb{R}, n3n\geq 3, is a an orientable, complete immersion with finite strong total curvature, then XX is proper and MM is diffeomorphic to a compact manifold Mˉ\bar M minus a finite number of points q1,qkq_1, \dots q_k. Adding some extra hypothesis, including Hr=0,H_r=0, where HrH_r is a higher order mean curvature, we obtain more information about the geometry of a neighbourhood of each puncture. The reader will also find in this paper a classification result for the hypersurfaces of Hn×R\mathbb{H}^n\times \mathbb{R} which satisfy Hr=0H_r=0 and are invariant by hyperbolic translations and a maximum principle in a half space for these hypersurfaces

    Caccioppoli's inequalities on constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds

    Full text link
    This is a revised version (minor changes and a deeper insight in the positive curvature case). We prove some Caccioppoli's inequalities for the traceless part of the second fundamental form of a complete, noncompact, finite index, constant mean curvature hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold, satisfying some curvature conditions. This allows us to unify and clarify many results scattered in the literature and to obtain some new results. For example, we prove that there is no stable, complete, noncompact hypersurface in Rn+1,{\mathbb R}^{n+1}, n5,n\leq 5, with constant mean curvature H0,H\not=0, provided that, for suitable p,p, the LpL^p-norm of the traceless part of second fundamental form satisfies some growth condition.Comment: 31 page

    A note on the stability for constant higher mean curvature hypersurfaces in a Riemannian manifold

    Full text link
    We give a notion of stability for constant r-mean curvature hypersurfaces in a general Riemannian manifold. When the ambient manifold is a space form, our notion coincide with the variational one \cite{BC} and when r=1, it coincides with the classic one for constant mean curvature hypersurfaces.Comment: We added a section where we introduce a symmetrized r-stability operato
