In this paper we discuss nondegeneracy and stability properties of some special minimal hypersurfaces which are asymptotic to a given Lawson cone $C_{m,n}$, for $m,\,n\ge 2$. Then we use such hypersurfaces to construct solutions to the…
In this paper, we consider immersed two-sided minimal hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite total curvature. We prove that the sum of the Morse index and the nullity of the Jacobi operator is bounded from below by a linear function of…
In this paper we study non-degeneracy properties of $\Sigma$ via the Jacobi operator $J_\Sigma:=\Delta_\Sigma+|A_\Sigma|^2$ of a given minimal hypersurface $\Sigma$ asymptotic to a cone $C\subset \mathbb{R}^{N+1}$ of co-dimension one. Here…
We study the stability of the extended Morse index, defined as the number of negative and zero eigenvalues of the Jacobi operator, for sequences of harmonic maps on degenerating Riemann surfaces. As the conformal structure approaches the…
Let $f:M\ra \erre^{m+1}$ be an isometrically immersed hypersurface. In this paper, we exploit recent results due to the authors in \cite{bimari} to analyze the stability of the differential operator $L_r$ associated with the $r$-th Newton…
A 7-dimensional area-minimizing embedded hypersurface $M$ will in general have a discrete singular set. The same is true if $M$ is stable, or has bounded index, provided $H^6(sing M) = 0$. We show that if $M_i$ are a sequence of such…
Given a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove that the space of embedded, which may be improper, free boundary minimal hypersurfaces with uniform area and Morse index upper bound is compact in the sense of smoothly graphical…
In this paper, we establish a "global" Morse index theorem. Given a hypersurface $M^{n}$ of constant mean curvature, immersed in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Consider a continuous deformation of "generalized" Lipschitz domain $D(t)$ enlarging in…
Locally stable minimal hypersurface could have singularities in dimension $\geq 7$ in general, locally modeled on stable and area-minimizing cones in the Euclidean spaces. In this paper, we present different aspects of how these…
Given a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, we prove that the limit of a sequence of embedded, almost properly embedded free boundary minimal hypersurfaces, with uniform area and Morse index upper bound, always inherits a non-trivial…
In this paper, we characterize all eigenfunctions corresponding to nonpositive eigenvalues of the Jacobi operator of the link $M$ of the Lawson-Osserman cone $\mathbf{C}$ in $\mathbb{R}^7$. In particular, we prove that $\mathbf{C}$ is…
Let $M\subset \mathbb{S}^{n+1}\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ be a compact cmc rotational hypersurface of the $(n+1)$-dimensional Euclidean unit sphere. Denote by $|A|^2$ the square of the norm of the second fundamental form and $J(f)=-\Delta…
We prove a structural theorem that provides a precise local picture of how a sequence of closed embedded minimal hypersurfaces with uniformly bounded index (and volume if the ambient dimension is greater than three) in a Riemannian manifold…
We prove that many complete, noncompact, constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces $f:\Sigma \to \R^3$ are nondegenerate; that is, the Jacobi operator $\Delta_f + |A_f|^2$ has no $L^2$ kernel. In fact, if $\Sigma$ has genus zero and…
We prove that for an embedded unstable one-sided minimal hypersurface of the $(n+1)$-dimensional real projective space, the Morse index is at least $n+2$, and this bound is attained by the cubic isoparametric minimal hypersurfaces. We also…
In this paper, we investigate the spectral properties of the Jacobi operator for immersed surfaces with nonpositive Euler characteristic, extending previous results in the field. We first prove a sharp upper bound for the second eigenvalue…
Given a closed Riemannian manifold of dimenion less than eight, we prove a compactness result for the space of closed, embedded minimal hypersurfaces satisfying a volume bound and a uniform lower bound on the first eigenvalue of the…
Suppose ${\cal L}$ is a lamination of a Riemannian manifold by hypersurfaces with the same constant mean curvature. We prove that every limit leaf of ${\cal L}$ is stable for the Jacobi operator. A simple but important consequence of this…
In this work we characterize certain immersed closed hypersurfaces of some ambient manifolds via the second eigenvalue of the Jacobi operator. First, we characterize the Clifford torus as the surface which maximizes the second eigenvalue of…
Let $x:M\to\mathbb{S}^{n+1}(1)$ be an n-dimensional compact hypersurface with constant scalar curvature $n(n-1)r,~r\geq 1$, in a unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}(1),~n\geq 5$. We know that such hypersurfaces can be characterized as critical…
