Abstract

We study stable immersed capillary hypersurfaces Σ\Sigma in domains B of R n+1 bounded by hyperplanes. When B is a half-space, we show Σ\Sigma is a spherical cap. When B is a domain bounded by k hyperplanes P 1 ,. .. , P k , 2 \le k \le n + 1, having independent normals, and Σ\Sigma has contact angle θ\theta i with P i and does not touch the vertices of B, we prove there exists δ\delta > 0, depending only on P 1 ,. .. , P k , so that if θ\theta i \in (π\pi 2 -- δ\delta, π\pi 2 + δ\delta) for each i, then Σ\Sigma has to be a piece of a sphere.
