Estimates for constant mean curvature graphs in \(M\times\mathbb{R}\) (Q2436058)

The paper contains some sharp estimates for a constant mean curvature graph \(\Sigma\) in a Riemannian manifold \(M^2\times\mathbb{R}\) (\(M\) being a Riemannian surface), whose boundary \(\partial\Sigma\) belongs to a slice \(M\times\{t_0\}\) and satisfies a capillarity condition (i.e., \(\Sigma\) has constant angle function along its boundary). Main results in the paper can be understood as comparison results with the geometry of the corresponding homogeneous case \(M^2(c)\times\mathbb{R}\). The author starts by giving sharp lower bounds for the geodesic curvature of the boundary and improves these bounds when assuming additional restrictions on the maximum height attained by the graph in \(M\times\mathbb{R}\). Then he estimates a bound for the distance from an interior point to the boundary in terms of the height at that point, and characterizes when these bounds are attained.
