Area estimates and rigidity of capillary $H-$surfaces in three-manifolds with boundary

Differential Geometry 2016-04-19 v2

Abstract

We obtain a bound for the area of a capillary HH-surface in a three-manifold with umbilic boundary and controlled sectional curvature. We then analyze the geometry when this area bound is realized, and obtain rigidity theorems. As a side product, we obtain existence of totally geodesic embedded surfaces in hyperbolic three-manifolds under the assumption of the existence of a HH-surface realizing the area bound, in particular, under the existence of a totally umbilic HH-surface.

Comments

We discovered we needed to add a hypothesis in Theorem 5.1 {that Sigma separates M) and thus the theorem and its proof has been changed
