Comparison theorem for support functions of hypersurfaces

Differential Geometry 2014-02-13 v1

Abstract

For a convex domain DD that is enclosed by the hypersurface D\partial D of bounded normal curvature, we prove an angle comparison theorem for angles between D\partial D and geodesic rays starting from some fixed point in DD, and the corresponding angles for hypersurfaces of constant normal curvature. Also, we obtain a comparison theorem for support functions of such surfaces. As a corollary, we present a proof of Blaschke's Rolling Theorem.
