A Hopf theorem for open surfaces in product spaces
-
Manfredo do Carmo
and Isabel Fernández
Abstract
Hopf's theorem has been recently extended to compact genus zero surfaces with constant mean curvature H in a product space
, where
is a surface with constant Gaussian curvature k ≠ 0 [Abresch, Rosenberg, Acta Math. 193: 141–174, 2004]. It also has been observed that, rather than H = const., it suffices to assume that the differential dH of H is appropriately bounded [Alencar, do Carmo, Tribuzy, Analysis Geometry 15: 283–298, 2007]. Here, we consider the case of simply-connected open surfaces with boundary in
such that dH is appropriately bounded and certain conditions on the boundary are satisfied, and show that such surfaces can all be described.
