Index Estimates for Free Boundary Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces

Differential Geometry 2020-03-18 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we consider compact free boundary constant mean curvature surfaces immersed in a mean convex body of the Euclidean space or in the unit sphere. We prove that the Morse index is bounded from below by a linear function of the genus and number of boundary components.
