Huisken-Yau-type uniqueness for area-constrained Willmore spheres

Differential Geometry 2023-08-17 v2

Abstract

Let (M,g)(M,g) be a Riemannian 33-manifold that is asymptotic to Schwarzschild. We study the existence of large area-constrained Willmore spheres ΣM\Sigma \subset M with non-negative Hawking mass and inner radius ρ\rho dominated by the area radius λ\lambda. If the scalar curvature of (M,g)(M,g) is non-negative, we show that no such surfaces with logλρ\log \lambda \ll \rho exist. This answers a question of G. Huisken.
