A criterion on instability of rotating cylindrical surfaces

Differential Geometry 2008-09-24 v1

Abstract

We consider a column of a rotating stationary surface in Euclidean space. We obtain a value l0>0l_0>0 in such way that if the length ll of column satisfies l>l0l>l_0, then the surface is instable. This extends, in some sense, previous results due to Plateau and Rayleigh for columns of surfaces with constant mean curvature.
