报告简介:Lecture 1. The starting point is a theorem of Calabi concerning geodesics on convex surfaces. Suppose S is a topological 2-sphere with a metric whose curvature K is greater than 0 and less than or equal to one. Let C be a simple closed geodesic in S. Then the length of C is at least 2π.

If the length of C equals 2π, then S is isometric to the sphere of radius one of R^3, (denoted S(2)).

This inspired the following theorem by Laurent Mazet and me.

Suppose the sectional curvatures of M are less than or equal to one, and the Ricci curvature is non-negative. Let S be a minimal embedded sphere in M. Then the area of S (denoted |S|) is at least 4π. If |S| equals 4π, then M is an isometric quotient of S(3) or a quotient of S(2) x R.

 

Lecture 2: We discuss area minimizing surfaces S when the scalar curvature R of M has a lower bound R(0). We will prove.

Theorem. Suppose M has scalar curvature at least R(0), and S is an area minimizing surface in its homotopy class. Then R(0) |S| is at most 4π times the Euler characteristic of S. Equality implies M is an isometric quotient of S x R.

This theorem was proved by Cao-Galloway when R(0) = 0, Bray-Brendle-Neves when S is a sphere, and by Micallef-Morin in all cases.

 

Lecture 3. We will discuss lower area bounds for minimal S in hyperbolic M. When the Heegard genus of M is at least 6, Mazet and I have proved the area of S is at least 2π. The proof uses the min-max theory of Algren-Pitts. We will discuss the ideas.

 

Lectures 4 and 5. I will discuss the global theory of properly immersed minimal surfaces in complete hyperbolic 3-manifolds of finite volume.

When S has finite topology, Collin, Hauswirth and I proved the ends of S are smoothly asymptotic to totally geodesic cusp ends. The total curvature of S equals 2π times the Euler characteristic of S. I will discuss the ideas of the proof and several other structure theorems of minimal surfaces in these hyperbolic manifolds.

my best regards, Harold
