Chord arc properties for constant mean curvature disks

Differential Geometry 2018-03-16 v3

Abstract

We prove a chord arc bound for disks embedded in R3\mathbb{R}^3 with constant mean curvature. This bound does not depend on the value of the mean curvature. It is inspired by and generalizes the work of Colding and Minicozzi in [2] for embedded minimal disks. Like in the minimal case, this chord arc bound is a fundamental tool for studying complete constant mean curvature surfaces embedded in R3\mathbb{R}^3 with finite topology or with positive injectivity radius.
