New examples of imbedded spherical soap bubbles in \(S^ N(1)\) (Q1088170)

A. D. Alexandrov proved that the only imbedded soap bubbles in Euclidean or hyperbolic n-space are round spheres. This also holds for an n- dimensional hemisphere. In this paper we give many new examples of differentiable (n-1)-spheres imbedded as soap bubbles in spherical n- space. Thus we show Alexandrov's theorem is false for spherical n-space even under the added assumption that the soap bubbles are differentiable (n-1)-spheres.
