Stable hypersurfaces in the complex projective space (Q2297630)

The geodesic sphere with radius \(r\in(0,\pi/2)\) in the complex projective space \(\mathbb{C}P^n\), \(n\geq 2\) is stable for the area functional with fixed enclosed volume if and only if \(\tan^2r\leq 2n+1\). In this paper, the authors characterize the geodesic sphere with radius \(r\) with \(\tan^2r=2n+1\) as the unique stable connected and complete hypersurface subject to a bound either on the characteristic curvature or on the restriction of the second fundamental form to the complex tangent space.
