Compact hypersurfaces in Euclidean space and some inequalities
The authors prove the following integral inequalities dealing with the shape operator \(A\), the mean curvature \(\alpha\), the support function \(\rho\) and the scalar curvature \(S\) of a compact hypersurface \(M\) immersed in \({\mathbb R}^n\): \[ \frac{1}{n}\int_M \| A \|^2 \rho^2 \,dv \geq \int_M \alpha^2 \rho^2\,dv \geq \frac{1}{n(n-1)}\int_M S \rho^2 \,dv. \] Additionally they show that if the condition \(S = \lambda_1(n-1)\) holds for the scalar curvature \(S\) and first nonzero eigenvalue \(\lambda_1\) of the Laplace operator on \(M\), then \[ \int_M \left(\alpha^2 - \frac{\lambda_1}{n}\right) \rho^2 \,dv \geq 0. \] In case of additional assumptions, like the hypersurface's Ricci curvature being bounded, two other inequalities are proved, involving \(\lambda_1\) and the volume of \(M\).
