Non-existence of stable currents in submanifolds of the Euclidean spaces (Q5962042)

The authors recall \textit{H. B. Lawson} and \textit{J. Simons}' conjecture [see Ann. Math. (2) 98, 427--450 (1973; Zbl 0283.53049)] that there are no stable integral currents in any compact simply-connected 1/4-pinched Riemannian manifold, and the similar problem for submanifolds in the Euclidean space. They prove the non-existence theorems of stable integral currents for certain classes of hypersurfaces or higher codimensional submanifolds in the Euclidean spaces. The results involve the principal curvatures of hypersurfaces, the square length of the second fundamental form, and the mean curvature.
