Index estimates for complete noncompact free boundary minimal surfaces

Marcos P. Cavalcante, Abraao Mendes, Ian R. dos Santos

Let be an unbounded domain with smooth boundary and let be a complete, noncompact, orientable, immersed free boundary minimal surface in , with compact…

Second Jacobi eigenvalues and spectral rigidity for surfaces in Berger spheres

Márcio Batista, Abraão Mendes

In this paper, we establish an upper bound for the second eigenvalue of the scalar Jacobi operator of an arbitrary closed two-sided surface immersed in a contracted Berger sphere.…

A strict second-eigenvalue estimate for the scalar stability operator on surfaces in

Márcio Batista, Abraão Mendes

Let be a closed immersed surface, with no orientability or, equivalently, two-sidedness assumptions. We establish the sharp quantitative estimat…

Second Eigenvalue Estimates and Spectral Rigidity for Submanifolds of Compact Rank-One Symmetric Spaces

Márcio Batista, Abraão Mendes

In this paper, we establish upper bounds for the second eigenvalue of the Schrödinger operator on -dimensional closed submanifolds of the compact projective spaces…

Index estimates for planar domains with Robin boundary condition

Abraão Mendes

In this note, we study the index of the Laplace operator on planar domains with compact smooth boundary, allowing both the compact and noncompact cases, under a natural Robin b…

Rigidity of surfaces with nonpositive Euler characteristic by the second eigenvalue of the Jacobi operator

Márcio Batista, Marcos P. Cavalcante, Abraão Mendes +1

In this paper, we investigate the spectral properties of the Jacobi operator for immersed surfaces with nonpositive Euler characteristic, extending previous results in the field. W…

Rigidity of min-max minimal disks in -balls with non-negative Ricci curvature

Laurent Mazet, Abraão Mendes

In this paper we prove a rigidity statement for free boundary minimal surfaces produced via min-max methods. More precisely, we prove that for any Riemannian metric on the 3-ba…

Some rigidity results for compact initial data sets

Gregory J. Galloway, Abraão Mendes

In this paper, we prove several rigidity results for compact initial data sets, in both the boundary and no boundary cases. In particular, under natural energy, boundary, and topol…

Free boundary minimal hypersurfaces outside of the ball

Laurent Mazet, Abraão Mendes

In this paper we obtain two classification theorems for free boundary minimal hypersurfaces outside of the unit ball (exterior FBMH for short) in Euclidean space. The first result…

Rigidity of free boundary MOTS

Abraão Mendes

The aim of this work is to present an initial data version of Hawking's theorem on the topology of back hole spacetimes in the context of manifolds with boundary. More precisely, w…

Initial data rigidity results

Michael Eichmair, Gregory J. Galloway, Abraão Mendes

We present several rigidity results for initial data sets motivated by the positive mass theorem. An important step in our proofs here is to establish conditions that ensure that a…

Vanishing theorems for the cohomology groups of free boundary hypersurfaces

Marcos P. Cavalcante, Abraão Mendes, Feliciano Vitório

In this paper, we prove that there exists a universal constant , depending only on positive integers and , such that if is a compact free boundary sub…

Characterization of hypersurfaces via the second eigenvalue of the Jacobi operator

Abraão Mendes

In this work we characterize certain immersed closed hypersurfaces of some ambient manifolds via the second eigenvalue of the Jacobi operator. First, we characterize the Clifford t…

Rigidity of volume-minimizing hypersurfaces in Riemannian 5-manifolds

Abraão Mendes

In this paper we generalize the main result of [4] for manifolds that are not necessarily Einstein. In fact, we obtain an upper bound for the volume of a locally volume-minimizing…

Rigidity of Marginally Outer Trapped (Hyper)Surfaces with Negative -Constant

Abraão Mendes

In this paper we generalize the main result of [13] in two different situations: in the first case for MOTSs of genus greater than one and, in the second case, for MOTSs of high di…

Rigidity of Free Boundary Surfaces in Compact 3-Manifolds with Strictly Convex Boundary

Abraão Mendes

In this paper we obtain an analogue of Toponogov theorem in dimension 3 for compact manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary . Here…

Rigidity of marginally outer trapped 2-spheres

Gregory J. Galloway, Abraao Mendes

In a matter-filled spacetime, perhaps with positive cosmological constant, a stable marginally outer trapped 2-sphere must satisfy a certain area inequality. Namely, as discussed i…

Rigidity of marginally outer trapped 2-spheres

Abraão Mendes

In a recent work, Galloway [9] proved a local foliation theorem by MOTSs for a 3-dimensional initial data set with mean curvature in a 4-dimensional spacetime $(\…
