Abstract

Let n2n \ge 2, p(1,+)p \in (1, \, +\infty) be given and let Σ\Sigma be a nn-dimensional, closed hypersurface in Rn+1\mathbb{R}^{n+1}. Denote by AA its second fundamental form, and by A˚\mathring{A} the tensor A1nAiigA - \frac{1}{n} A^i_i g where g=δΣg = \delta |_{\Sigma}.Assuming that Σ\Sigma is the boundary of a convex, open set we prove that if the LpL^p-norm of A˚\mathring{A} is small, then Σ\Sigma must be W2,pW^{2, \, p}-close to a sphere, with a quantitative estimate.
