Review text

The following result is proved: For a smooth family \({\mathcal M}_t\) of compact two-dimensional submanifolds of Euclidean space \(E^3\) witout boundary, varying isometrically in their induced Riemannian metrics, the mean curvature integrals \[ \int_{{\mathcal M}_t} H_t d{\mathcal H}^2, \] where \({\mathcal H}\) denotes two-dimensional Hausdorff measure in \(\mathbb{R}^3\), are constant. The result should be compared with a well-known formula of Herglotz. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0901.00063].
