Heinz mean curvature estimates in warped product spaces \(M\times _{e^{\psi }}N\) (Q2413478): Difference between revisions

Let \(f:M\rightarrow N\) be a map between two Riemannian manifolds \((M,g)\) and \((N,h)\) of dimensions \(m\) and \(n\), respectively. This paper deals with graph submanifolds \(\Gamma_f:=\{(x,f(x))|x\in M\}\) of the Riemannian warped product space \((M\times_{e^\psi}N,\bar{g}=g+e^{2\psi}h)\), assuming that \(\Gamma_f\) has parallel mean curvature \(H\). In such setting, the author obtains a Heinz-type estimation of the mean curvature, namely \[ m\|H\|^2\leq\inf_D\frac{A_\psi(\partial D)}{V_\psi(D)}, \] where the \(\psi\)-weighted area \(A_\psi\) and \(\psi\)-weighted volume \(V_\psi\) are considered on compact domains \(\bar{D}=D\cup\partial D\) of \((M,g)\) with smooth boundary, \(A_\psi(\partial D)=\int_{\partial D}e^\psi \text{d}A\) and \(V_\psi(D)=\int_De^\psi \text{d}M\). Moreover, the author proves that if \((M,g)\) is a closed Riemannian manifold, then any graph submanifold \(\Gamma_f\) of \(M\times_{e^\psi}N\) with parallel mean curvature is minimal.
