The Abresch-Rosenberg Shape Operator and applications
Abstract
There exists a holomorphic quadratic differential defined on any surface immersed in the homogeneous space given by U. Abresch and H. Rosenberg, called the Abresch-Rosenberg differential. However, there were no Codazzi pair on such surface associated to the Abresch-Rosenberg differential when . The goal of this paper is to find a geometric Codazzi pair defined on any surface in , when , whose part is the Abresch-Rosenberg differential. In particular, this allows us to compute a Simons' type formula for surfaces in . We apply such Simons' type formula, first, to study the behavior of complete surfaces of finite Abresch-Rosenberg total curvature immersed in . Second, we estimate the first eigenvalue of any Schr\"odinger operator , continuous, defined on such surfaces. Finally, together with the Omori-Yau's Maximum Principle, we classify complete surfaces in , , satisfying a lower bound on depending on and .
