Symmetries in some extremal problems between two parallel hyperplanes

Abstract: Let

M

be a compact hypersurface with boundary

p a r t i a l M = p a r t i a l D_{1} c u p p a r t i a l D_{2}

,

p a r t i a l D_{1} s u b s e t P i_{1}

,

p a r t i a l D_{2} s u b s e t P i_{2}

,

P i_{1}

and

P i_{2}

two parallel hyperplanes in

m a t h b b R^{n + 1}

(

n g e q 2

). Suppose that

M

is contained in the slab determined by these hyperplanes and that the mean curvature

H

of

M

depends only on the distance

u

to

P i_{i}

,

i = 1, 2

. We prove that these hypersurfaces are symmetric to a perpendicular orthogonal to

P i_{i}

,

i = 1, 2

, under different conditions imposed on the boundary of hypersurfaces on the parallel planes: (i) when the angle of contact between

M

and

P i_{i}

,

i = 1, 2

is constant; (ii) when

p a r t i a l u / p a r t i a l e t a

is a non-increasing function of the mean curvature of the boundary,

p a r t i a l e t a

the inward normal; (iii) when

p a r t i a l u / p a r t i a l e t a

has a linear dependency on the distance to a fixed point inside the body that hypersurface englobes; (iv) when

p a r t i a l D_{i}

are symmetric to a perpendicular orthogonal to

P i_{i}

,

i = 1, 2

.
