The maximal principle for properly immersed submanifolds and its applications

Abstract: In this note we consider the Liouville type theorem for a properly immersed submanifold

M

in a complete Riemmanian manifold

N

. Assume that the sectional curvature

K^{N}

of

N

satisfies

K^{N} g e q - L (1 + d i s t_{N} (c d o t, q_{0})^{2})^{f} r a c a l p h a 2

for some

L > 0, 2 > a l p h a g e q 0

and

q_{0} i n N

. (i) If

D e l t a | v e c H |^{2 p - 2} g e q k | v e c H |^{2 p}

(

p > 1

) for some constant

k > 0

, then we prove that

M

is minimal. (ii) Let

u

be a smooth nonnegative function on

M

satisfying

D e l t a u g e q k u^{a}

for some constant

k > 0

and

a > 1

. If

for some

C > 0

,

, then

u = 0

on

M

. As applications we get some nonexistence result for

p

-biharmonic submanifolds.
