Total mean curvatures of Riemannian hypersurfaces
Abstract
We obtain a comparison formula for integrals of mean curvatures of Riemannian hypersurfaces, via Reilly's identities. As applications we derive several geometric inequalities for a convex hypersurface in a Cartan-Hadamard manifold . In particular we show that the first mean curvature integral of a convex hypersurface nested inside cannot exceed that of , which leads to a sharp lower bound in dimension for the total first mean curvature of in terms of the volume it bounds in . This monotonicity property is extended to all mean curvature integrals when is parallel to , or has constant curvature. We also characterize hyperbolic balls as minimizers of the mean curvature integrals among balls with equal radii in Cartan-Hadamard manifolds.
