Abstract

In this work, we consider M=(Br3,gˉ)M=(\mathbb{B}^3_r,\bar{g}) as the Euclidean three-ball with radius rr equipped with the metric gˉ=e2h,\bar{g}=e^{2h}\left\langle , \right\rangle conformal to the Euclidean metric. We show that if a free boundary CMC surface Σ\Sigma in MM satisfies a pinching condition on the length of the traceless second fundamental tensor which involves the support function of Σ\Sigma, the positional conformal vector field x\vec{x} and its potential function σ,\sigma, then either Σ\Sigma is a disk or Σ\Sigma is an annulus rotationally symmetric. In a particular case, we construct an example of minimal surface with strictly convex boundary in MM, when MM is the Gaussian space, that illustrate our results. These results extend to the CMC case and to many others different conformally Euclidean spaces the main result obtained by Haizhong Li and Changwei Xiong.
