Index estimates for free boundary constant mean curvature surfaces

Marcos P. Cavalcante and Darlan F. de Oliveira

Vol. 305 (2020), No. 1, 153–163
Abstract

We consider compact constant mean curvature surfaces with boundary immersed in a mean convex region of the Euclidean space or in the unit sphere. We prove that the weak Morse index is bounded from below by a linear function of the genus and number of boundary components.

Keywords
