Isolated singularities of graphs in warped products and Monge-Amp\`ere equations

Differential Geometry 2014-11-12 v1

Abstract

We study graphs of positive extrinsic curvature with a non-removable isolated singularity in 3-dimensional warped product spaces, and describe their behavior at the singularity in several natural situations. We use Monge-Amp\`ere equations to give a classification of the surfaces in 3-dimensional space forms which are embedded around a non-removable isolated singularity and have a prescribed, real analytic, positive extrinsic curvature function at every point. Specifically, we prove that this space is in one-to-one correspondence with the space of regular, analytic, strictly convex Jordan curves in the 2-dimensional sphere S2\mathbb{S^2}.
