Limit leaves of a CMC lamination are stable

Differential Geometry 2008-02-26 v2

Abstract

Suppose L{\cal L} is a lamination of a Riemannian manifold by hypersurfaces with the same constant mean curvature. We prove that every limit leaf of L{\cal L} is stable for the Jacobi operator. A simple but important consequence of this result is that the set of stable leaves of L{\cal L} has the structure of a lamination.
