Foliation by free boundary constant mean curvature leaves

Abstract: Let

M

be a Riemannian manifold of dimension

n + 1

with smooth boundary and

p i n p a r t i a l M

. We prove that there exists a smooth foliation around

p

whose leaves are submanifolds of dimension

n

, constant mean curvature and its arrive perpendicular to the boundary of M, provided that

p

is a nondegenerate critical point of the mean curvature function of

p a r t i a l M

.
