Stable capillary hypersurfaces in a wedge

Abstract

Let Σ\Sigma be a compact immersed stable capillary hypersurface in a wedge bounded by two hyperplanes in Rn+1\mathbb R^{n+1}. Suppose that Σ\Sigma meets those two hyperplanes in constant contact angles and is disjoint from the edge of the wedge. It is proved that if Σ\partial \Sigma is embedded for n=2n=2, or if Σ\partial\Sigma is convex for n3n\geq3, then Σ\Sigma is part of the sphere. And the same is true for Σ\Sigma in the half-space of Rn+1\mathbb R^{n+1} with connected boundary Σ\partial\Sigma.
