Abstract

A well-known conjecture of Yau states that the area of one of Clifford minimal hypersurfaces S^k\big{(}\sqrt{\frac{k}{n}}\, \big{)}\times S^{n-k}\big{(}\sqrt{\frac{n-k}{n}}\, \big{)} gives the lowest value of area among all non-totally geodesic compact minimal hypersurfaces in the unit sphere Sn+1(1)S^{n+1}(1). The present paper shows that Yau conjecture is true for minimal rotational hypersurfaces, more precisely, the area Mn|M^n| of compact minimal rotational hypersurface MnM^n is either equal to Sn(1)|S^n(1)|, or equal to S1(1n)×Sn1(n1n)|S^1(\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}})\times S^{n-1}(\sqrt{\frac{n-1}{n}})|, or greater than 2(11π)S1(1n)×Sn1(n1n)2(1-\frac{1}{\pi})|S^1(\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}})\times S^{n-1}(\sqrt{\frac{n-1}{n}})|. As the application, the entropies of some special self-shrinkers are estimated.
