Remarks on surfaces of large mean curvature (Q1004554): Difference between revisions

An orientable homogeneously regular 3-manifold \(N\) means that there is some positive constant \(R\) so that the geodesic balls of \(N\) of radius \(R\), centered at any point of \(N\) are embedded, and in these balls, the sectional curvatures are bounded by a constant independent of the point of \(N\) where the balls are centered. By using some results from his paper [Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 74, No. 2, 227--238 (2006; Zbl 1104.53057)], the author proves the following result: Let \(c>0\) and \(H\) be constants satisfying \[ 3H^2 + S(x) \geq c, \] where \(S\) is the scalar curvature of \(N\). Then a complete embedded \(H\)-surface \(M\) in \(N\), of bounded curvature, is properly embedded.
