Rigidity of Area-Minimizing Free Boundary Surfaces in Mean Convex Three-Manifolds

Abstract: We prove a local splitting theorem for three-manifolds with mean convex boundary and scalar curvature bounded from below that contain certain locally area-minimizing free boundary surfaces. Our methods are based on those of Micallef and Moraru [12]. We use this local result to establish a global rigidity theorem for area-minimizing free boundary disks. In the negative scalar curvature case, this global result implies a rigidity theorem for solutions of the Plateau problem with length-minimizing boundary.

“…Lastly, the fact that S q,j,α is separable is obtained as follows. Recall that, by virtue of statement (2) in Proposition 41 if w ∈ C j,α (M, N ) is γ-stationary then in fact w ∈ C q (M, N ), hence letŠ q,j,α be just the set S q,j,α endowed with the topology it inherits as a subspace of the product Γ×(C q (M, N )/ ≃), for ≃ the usual equivalence relation (quotienting by diffeomorphisms of M). Clearly, S q,j,α has a coarser topology thanŠ q,j,α so it is enough to show thatŠ q,j,α is separable.…”

“…Subsequent to the paper of M. Cai and G. Galloway [7], there have been many further works establishing scalar curvature rigidity results in the presence of compact area-minimizing surfaces, including [6,4,5,11,14,15,19,1,16,18]. We anticipate that the techniques developed here lead to alternative proofs of these results.…”

“…Recently one of inspiring work is a series of papers of Fraser-Schoen [22,23,24] about minimal hypersurfaces with free boundary in a ball and the first Steklov eigenvalue. See also [11,15,63,35,20,25,3]. Our research on the stability on CMC hypersurfaces are motivated by these results.…”
