New Heintze–Karcher-type inequalities in substatic warped product manifolds

Haizhong Li, Yong Wei and Botong Xu

Vol. 345 (2026), No. 1, 105–126
Abstract

We establish Heintze–Karcher-type inequalities involving the shifted mean curvature for smooth bounded domains in certain substatic warped product manifolds. In particular, we prove a novel Heintze–Karcher-type inequality for horospherical mean concave domains in the hyperbolic space. We apply these results to derive uniqueness theorems for hypersurfaces satisfying a class of curvature equations.
