A sharp quantitative version of Alexandrov's theorem via the method of moving planes (Q1708551)

In this paper the authors study a quantitative version of the soap bubble theorem. As is well known Alexandrov proved the theorem: ``The \(n\)-dimensional sphere is the only compact, connected embedded hypersurface of \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) with constant mean curvature.'' Let \(S\) be an \(n\)-dimensional, \(C^2\)-regular, connected closed hypersurface embedded in \(\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\), \(|S|=\) the area of \(S\). Let \(H(p)\) be the mean curvature of \(S\) at \(p\) and \(\text{osc}(H)= \max_{p\in S}\,H(p)- \min_{p\in S}\,H(p)\). The authors deduce the following interesting result: Theorem: ``Let \(S\) be an \(n\)-dimensional, \(C^2\)-regular, connected, closed hypersurface embedded in \(\mathbb{R}^{u+s}\). There exist constants \(\varepsilon\), \(C>0\) such that if \(\text{osc}(H)\leq\varepsilon\), then there are two concentric balls \(B_{r_i}\) and \(B_{r_e}\) such that \(S\subset\overline B_{r_e}\setminus B_{r_i}\), \(r_e-r_i\leq C\,\text{osc}(H)\), the constants \(\varepsilon\) and \(C\) depend only on \(n\) and upper bounds on \(S^{-1}\) and \(|S|\).'' Here is the optimal radius. The content of this paper is beautifully expressed.
