Limit lamination theorem for H-disks

Differential Geometry 2015-11-04 v2

Abstract

In this paper we prove a theorem concerning lamination limits of sequences of compact disks MnM_n embedded in R3\mathbb{R}^3 with constant mean curvature HnH_n, when the boundaries of these disks tend to infinity. This theorem generalizes to the non-zero constant mean curvature case Theorem 0.1 by Colding and Minicozzi in [8]. We apply this theorem to prove the existence of a chord arc result for compact disks embedded in R3\mathbb{R}^3 with constant mean curvature; this chord arc result generalizes Theorem 0.5 by Colding and Minicozzi in [9] for minimal disks.
