External geometry of p-minimal surfaces (Q4357380)

Let \({\mathcal M}\) be a hypersurface given by a \(C^2\)-immersion \(x:M\to\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\) of an \(n\)-dimensional orientable noncompact manifold \(M\). For fixed \(p > 1\), \({\mathcal M}\) is said to be \(p\)-minimal if one of the coordinate functions is \(p\)-harmonic with respect to the inner metric of \(M\). The first part of the paper presents the basic facts of \(p\)-minimal surface theory, for example, it is shown that the Gauss map of a two-dimensional \(p\)-minimal surface is \(K(p)\)-quasiconformal. In further sections the shape of \(p\)-minimal tubes is studied. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0870.00032].
