A remark on a curvature gap for minimal surfaces in the ball

Differential Geometry 2018-08-14 v1

Abstract

We extend to higher codimension earlier characterization of the equatorial disk and the critical catenoid by a pinching condition on the length of their second fundamental form among free boundary minimal surfaces in the three dimensional Euclidean ball due to L. Ambrozio and I. Nunes.
