Review text

The paper characterizes the topological properties of the level set of the Gauss mean curvature of an embedded surface \(M\) with nonempty boundary in \(\mathbb R^3\). The main theorem classifies 3 possible cases and implies an interesting consequence concerning the convexity of \(M\). Indeed, this paper contributes to the discussion of convexity, which is largely studied in the current literature.
