Height estimate for special Weingarten surfaces of elliptic type in ${\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times \mathbb{R}$
By Filippo Morabito
Abstract
In this article we provide a vertical height estimate for compact special Weingarten surfaces of elliptic type in ${\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times \mathbb{R}$, i.e. surfaces whose mean curvature $H$ and extrinsic Gauss curvature $K_e$ satisfy $H=f(H^2-K_e)$ with $4x(f'(x))^2<1,$ for all $x \in [0,+\infty ).$ The vertical height estimate generalizes a result by Rosenberg and Sa Earp and applies only to surfaces verifying a height estimate condition. When $c<0,$ using also a horizontal height estimate, we show a non-existence result for properly embedded Weingarten surfaces of elliptic type in $\mathbb{H}^2(c) \times \mathbb{R}$ with finite topology and one end.
1. Introduction
In this work we will consider special Weingarten surfaces of elliptic type in ${\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}.$ Here ${\mathbb{M}}^2(c)={\mathbb{S}}^2(c),{\mathbb{R}}^2$ or ${\mathbb{H}}^2(c)$ depending on the sign of the sectional curvature $c.$ If $H$ and $K_e$ denote the mean curvature and the extrinsic Gauss curvature of a surface $\Sigma$ respectively, then $\Sigma$ is called a special Weingarten surface if the following identity holds:
with $f\in {\mathcal{C}}^0([0,+\infty )).$ Furthermore if $f\in {\mathcal{C}}^1([0,+\infty ))$ and $4x(f'(x))^2<1 \, \forall x\in [0,+\infty ),$ then $f$ is said to be elliptic and $\Sigma$ is said to be a special Weingarten surface of elliptic type, henceforth called a SWET surface.
The study of Weingarten surfaces started with H. Hopf Reference 7, P. Hartman and W. Wintner Reference 8 and S. S. Chern Reference 3, who considered compact Weingarten surfaces in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$. H. Rosenberg and R. Sa Earp Reference 14 showed that compact special Weingarten surfaces in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$ and ${\mathbb{H}}^3$ satisfy an a priori height estimate, assuming also that $f$ satisfies a height estimate condition, and used this fact to prove that the annular ends of a properly embedded special Weingarten surface $M$ are cylindrically bounded. Moreover, if such an $M$ is non-compact and has finite topological type, then $M$ must have more than one end; if $M$ has two ends, then it must be a rotational surface; and if $M$ has three ends, it is contained in a slab. They followed the ideas of Meeks Reference 11 and Korevaar-Kusner-Solomon Reference 10 for non-zero constant mean curvature surfaces in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$. Recently, Aledo-Espinar-G├бlvez in Reference 2 obtained a geometric height estimate for SWET surfaces with $f(0)\neq 0$ in ${\mathbb{M}}^3(c),$$c \leq 0,$ with no other hypothesis on $f.$
R. Sa Earp and E. Toubiana in Reference 16Reference 17Reference 18 studied rotational special Weingarten surfaces in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$ and ${\mathbb{H}}^3$. In the case $f(0)\neq 0$ (constant mean curvature type), they determined necessary and sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of examples whose geometric behaviour is the same as the one of Delaunay surfaces in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$, i.e. unduloids (embedded) and nodoids (non-embedded), which have non-zero constant mean curvature. In the case $f(0)=0$ (minimal type), they established the existence of examples whose geometric behaviour is the same as those of the catenoid of ${\mathbb{R}}^3$, which is the only rotational minimal surface in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$.
By arguments similar to those used by Sa Earp and Toubiana, the author and M. Rodriguez in Reference 12 determined necessary and sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of rotational SWET surfaces in $\mathbb{S}^2\times {\mathbb{R}}$ and ${\mathbb{H}}^2 \times {\mathbb{R}}$ of minimal type ($f(0)=0$).
The reason we focus on SWET surfaces is that the ellipticity of $f$ ensures that the operator obtained by linearization of Equation 1 is elliptic in the sense of Hopf Reference 7 and solutions to Equation 1 satisfy an interior and a boundary maximum principle.
Furthermore we show that an estimate for the height (defined below), similar to one given in Reference 14, holds for SWET surfaces in product manifolds of dimension three under additional assumptions of $f$.
Let $\Sigma$ be a connected orientable hypersurface immersed in ${\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}.$ The height function, denoted by $h,$ of $\Sigma$ is defined as the restriction to $\Sigma$ of the projection $t: {\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}\to {\mathbb{R}}.$
The technique used in Reference 2 to prove a geometric height estimate for SWET surfaces in $\mathbb{M}^3(c)$,$c \leq 0,$ does not apply to our setting.
Theorem 6.2 in Reference 6 provides a horizontal height estimate for compact surfaces $\Sigma$ with constant curvature or constant mean curvature in $\mathbb{H}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}$ and boundary contained in a vertical plane. The case of surfaces in ${\mathbb{S}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}$ is not considered to be ${\mathbb{S}}^2(c)$ compact.
It is possible to prove a similar estimate for SWET surfaces.
The proof of Theorem 6.2 in Reference 6 applies verbatim to our setting, with a unique exception: the proof uses the maximum principle to compare $\Sigma$ to a surface $\Sigma _0$ that in our case has to be the sphere of constant mean curvature equal to $H_0.$
Combining Theorems 1.1 and 1.3 we are in order to prove the following non-existence result.
Such a theorem generalizes Theorem 7.2 of Reference 6, which applies to surfaces with constant mean curvature $H>1/2$ or constant curvature $K>0$ which are properly embedded in ${\mathbb{H}}^2 \times {\mathbb{R}}.$
Let $\Sigma$ be a oriented connected Riemannian $m$-manifold and let $F:\Sigma \to {\mathbb{M}}^{m+1}$ be an isometric immersion of $\Sigma$ into an orientable Riemannian $(m+1)$-manifold${\mathbb{M}}^{m+1}.$ We choose a normal unit vector field $N$ along $\Sigma$ and define the shape operator $A$ associated with the second fundamental form of $\Sigma$; that is, for any $p \in \Sigma ,$
where $\overline{\nabla }$ is the Riemannian connection of ${\mathbb{M}}^{m+1}.$
Let $k_1,\ldots ,k_m$ denote the eigenvalues of $A.$ For $1 \leqslant r \leqslant m,$ let $S_r$ denote the $r$-th symmetric function of $k_1,\ldots ,k_m$ and $T_r$ be the $r$-th Newton transformation: $T_0=I,$$T_r=S_rI-AT_{r-1}.$
If $H_r$ denotes the $r$-th mean curvature of $\Sigma ,$ then $H_r=S_r/C^r_m,$ where $C^r_m=\frac{m!}{r!(m-r)!}.$
Let us consider a domain $D \subset \Sigma$ such that its closure $\overline{D}$ is compact with smooth boundary.
where $N_s$ is the unit normal vector field along $\phi _s(\Sigma ).$$E$ is called the variational vector field of $\phi .$ Let $A_s(p)$ be the shape operator of $\phi _s(\Sigma )$ at the point $p$ and $S_r(s,p)$ the $r$-th symmetric function of the eigenvalues of $A_s(p).$
In Reference 5 M.F. Elbert proved that, for $1\leqslant r \leqslant m,$
where $\overline{R}_N$ is defined as $\overline{R}_N(X)=\overline{R}(N,X)N,$$\overline{R}$ is the curvature tensor of ${\mathbb{M}}^{m+1}$ and $E_s^T$ denotes the tangent part of $E_s.$
In the sequel we will consider the case where ${\mathbb{M}}^{m+1}$ has a special structure: ${\mathbb{M}}^{m+1}={\mathbb{M}}^m \times {\mathbb{R}},$ where ${\mathbb{M}}^m$ is an $m$-dimensional Riemannian manifold.
The following result has been proved in Reference 4 by X. Cheng and H. Rosenberg.
If the manifold ${\mathbb{M}}^{m}$ has constant sectional curvature, then we are able to express all terms of $L_{r-1}(n)$ given by Lemma 2.5 in terms of the curvatures $S_r$.
We denote by $X^h$ the horizontal component of $X \in T_p ({\mathbb{M}}^m(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}),$ by $e_i$ the principal directions of $A$ and by $A_i$ the restriction of $A$ to the $(m-1)$-dimensional space normal to $e_i.$
In the next section we will use the results presented here to show that the special Weingarten surfaces of elliptic type satisfy an interior and a boundary maximum principle and a height estimate under additional conditions.
2.2. Maximum principle for special Weingarten surfaces
Let $\Sigma$ be an oriented connected hypersurface immersed in ${\mathbb{M}}^m(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}$ and $f \in {\mathcal{C}}^1([0,\infty )).$ Let us suppose that the first and second mean curvatures $H_1(s),H_2(s)$ of $\phi _s(\Sigma )$ (see Definition 2.1) satisfy
From Equation 3, the principal parts of $\partial _s H_1(0)=\frac{1}{m} \partial _s S_1(0)$ and $\partial _s H_2(0)= \frac{2}{m(m-1)} \partial _s S_2(0)$ are respectively $L_0/m$ and $\frac{2}{m(m-1)} L_1.$
When $m=2$ the linearized operator of Equation 4 reduces to
Let $\Sigma _1,\Sigma _2$ be two oriented special Weingarten surfaces in ${\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}$ satisfying Equation 1 for the same function $f$, whose unit normal vectors coincide at a common point $p$. For $i=1,2$, we can write $\Sigma _i$ locally around $p$ as a graph of a function $u_i$ over a domain in $T_p\Sigma _1=T_p\Sigma _2$ (in exponential coordinates). We will say that $\Sigma _1$ is above $\Sigma _2$ in a neighbourhood of $p$, and we will write $\Sigma _1\geq \Sigma _2$ if $u_1\geq u_2$.
To show the main theorem we need the following result.
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact SWET surface embedded in ${\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}$ which is a graph over ${\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times \{0\}$ with $\partial \Sigma \subset {\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times \{0\}.$ Let $x=H^2-K_e.$ If $f>0,$$f-2xf'>0$ and $f^2+c+x(1-4ff') >0,$ then
Let $\Sigma$ be a compact surface having constant mean curvature which is embedded in ${\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}$ and a graph over ${\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times \{0\}$ such that $\partial \Sigma \subset {\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times \{0\}.$ Suppose that
(1)
$c \leq 0,$$H> \sqrt {\frac{\max _\Sigma K_e -c}{2}},$ or
Let $P$ denote a vertical plane in ${\mathbb{H}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}.$ Let $\Sigma$ be a compact SWET surface in ${\mathbb{H}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}},$ with $\partial \Sigma \subset P.$ Assume that the elliptic function $f \geq H_0 > \frac{\sqrt {-c}}{2}.$ Then for every $p\in \Sigma$, the horizontal distance in ${\mathbb{H}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}$ of $p$ to $P$ is bounded by a constant $C$ which does not depend on $\Sigma$.
Theorem 1.4.
There are no properly embedded SWET surfaces in ${\mathbb{H}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}$ with finite topology, one end and whose elliptic function $f$ satisfies the hypotheses of Theorems 1.1, 1.3.
Definition 2.1.
A variation of $D$ is a differentiable map $\phi :(-{\varepsilon },{\varepsilon }) \times \Sigma \to {{\mathbb{M}}}^{m+1},$ where ${\varepsilon }>0,$ such that for each $s \in (-{\varepsilon },{\varepsilon })$ the map $\phi _s: \Sigma \to {{\mathbb{M}}}^{m+1}$ defined by $\phi _s(p)=\phi (s,p)$ is an immersion and $\phi _0(p)=F(p)$ for every $p \in \Sigma$ (we recall that $F$ denotes the immersion of $\Sigma$ in ${{\mathbb{M}}}^{m+1}$) and $\phi _s(p)=F(p)$ for $p \in \Sigma \setminus \overline{D}$ and $s \in (-{\varepsilon },{\varepsilon })$.
Let $\Sigma$ be an immersed orientable hypersurface in ${\mathbb{M}}^m \times {\mathbb{R}}$ (with or without boundary) and $N$ be its normal unit vector field. Then
$$L_{r}(h)=(r+1)S_{r+1}n ,$$
for $0\leqslant r \leqslant m,$ where $h$ denotes the height function of $\Sigma ,$ and $n=\langle \frac{\partial }{\partial t},N\rangle .$
Lemma 2.5.
Let $\Sigma$ be an immersed hypesurface in ${\mathbb{M}}^{m} \times {\mathbb{R}}.$ Then we have
If the function $f$ is elliptic, that is, $4x(f'(x))^2<1$ for all $x \geq 0,$ then the eigenvalues of the operator $L_f$ are positive. In other terms $L_f$ is elliptic.
Let $\Sigma _1,\Sigma _2$ be two special Weingarten surfaces in ${\mathbb{M}}^2(c) \times {\mathbb{R}}$ with respect to the same elliptic function $f$. Let us suppose that
тАв
$\Sigma _1$ and $\Sigma _2$ are tangent at an interior point $p\in \Sigma _1\cap \Sigma _2$ or
тАв
there exists $p\in \partial \Sigma _1\cap \partial \Sigma _2$ such that both $T_p\Sigma _1=T_p\Sigma _2$ and $T_p\partial \Sigma _1=T_p\partial \Sigma _2$.
Also suppose that the unit normal vectors of $\Sigma _1,\Sigma _2$ coincide at $p$. If $\Sigma _1\geq \Sigma _2$ in a neighbourhood $U$ of $p$, then $\Sigma _1=\Sigma _2$ in $U$. In the case $\Sigma _1,\Sigma _2$ have no boundary, $\Sigma _1=\Sigma _2$.
Lemma 2.12.
If $H_1(s)$ and $H_2(s)$ verify $H_1-f(H_1^2-H_2)=0$ for each $s,$ then
$$(1-2ff')E_s^T(H_1)+f'E_s^T(H_2)=0.$$
