Curvature estimates for submanifolds immersed into horoballs and horocylinders

Differential Geometry 2015-06-11 v2

Abstract

We prove mean curvature estimates and a Jorge-Koutroufiotis type theorem for submanifolds confined into either a horocylinder of N X L or a horoball of N, where N is a Cartan-Hadamard manifold with pinched curvature. Thus, these submanifolds behave in many respects like submanifolds immersed into compact balls and into cylinders over compact balls. The proofs rely on the Hessian comparison theorem for the Busemann function.
