Existence of closed embedded curves of constant curvature via min-max

Authors Lorenzo Sarnataro, Douglas Stryker

Publication date 7 June 2023

Abstract: We find conditions under which Almgren-Pitts min-max for the prescribed geodesic curvature functional in a closed oriented Riemannian surface produces a closed embedded curve of constant curvature. In particular, we find a closed embedded curve of any prescribed constant curvature in any metric on

S^{2}

with

-pinched Gaussian curvature.
