We show that if the curvature of a Cartan-Hadamard $n$-manifold is constant near a convex hypersurface $\Gamma$, then the total Gauss-Kronecker curvature $\mathcal{G}(\Gamma)$ is not less than that of any convex hypersurface nested inside…

In this paper we prove an area comparison result for certain totally geodesic surfaces in 3-manifolds with a lower bound on the scalar curvature. This result is a variant of a comparison theorem of Heintze-Karcher for minimal hypersurfaces…

In this paper, we study four dimensional hypersurface M^4_r with proper mean curvature vector field (i.e. \Delta\vec{H} is proportional to \vec{H}) in pseudo-Riemannian space form N^5_s(c), and show that it has constant mean curvature, and…
