Do Carmo's problem for CMC hypersurfaces in
arXiv:2503.08107
Abstract
In this paper, we prove that complete noncompact constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in with finite index must be minimal. This provides a positive answer to do Carmo's question in dimension . The proof strategy is also applicable to and , thereby providing alternative proofs for those previously resolved cases.
Some modifications to the manuscript : 1, simply the proof without using the conformal change by ; 2, correct the proof of the main theorem and provide more details to the volume estimate of geodesic balls
