 Mathematics , 2011, Abstract: This is a revised version (minor changes and a deeper insight in the positive curvature case). We prove some Caccioppoli's inequalities for the traceless part of the second fundamental form of a complete, noncompact, finite index, constant mean curvature hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold, satisfying some curvature conditions. This allows us to unify and clarify many results scattered in the literature and to obtain some new results. For example, we prove that there is no stable, complete, noncompact hypersurface in ${\mathbb R}^{n+1},$ $n\leq 5,$ with constant mean curvature $H\not=0,$ provided that, for suitable $p,$ the $L^p$-norm of the traceless part of second fundamental form satisfies some growth condition.
 Mathematics , 2008, Abstract: We construct examples of compact and one-ended constant mean curvature surfaces with large mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds with axial symmetry by gluing together small spheres positioned end-to-end along a geodesic. Such surfaces cannot exist in Euclidean space, but we show that the gradient of the ambient scalar curvature acts as a `friction term' which permits the usual analytic gluing construction to be carried out.
 Claus Gerhardt Mathematics , 2004, Abstract: We prove the existence of smooth closed hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature homeomorphic to $S^n$ for small $n, n\le6$, provided there are barriers.
 Mathematics , 2011, Abstract: We provide integral formulae for the ADM mass of asymptotically flat hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds with a certain warped product structure in a neighborhood of infinity, thus extending Lam's recent results on Euclidean graphs to this broader context. As applications we exhibit, in any dimension, new classes of manifolds for which versions of the Positive Mass and Riemannian Penrose inequalities hold and discuss a notion of quasi-local mass in this setting. The proof explores a novel connection between the co-vector defining the ADM mass of a hypersurface as above and the Newton tensor associated to its shape operator, which takes place in the presence of an ambient Killing field.
 Yunyan Yang Mathematics , 2011, Abstract: Though Trudinger-Moser inequalities on compact Riemannian manifolds or Euclidean space are well understood, we know little about them on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds. In this paper, we established respectively necessary condition and sufficient condition under which Trudinger-Moser inequalities hold on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds. For applications of such inequalities, we obtained existence results for some quasilinear equations with nonlinearity of exponential growth.
 Claus Gerhardt Mathematics , 2002, Abstract: The existence of closed hypersurfaces of prescribed curvature in semi-riemannian manifolds is proved provided there are barriers.
 Ye-Lin Ou Mathematics , 2009, Abstract: We study biharmonic hypersurfaces in a generic Riemannian manifold. We first derive an invariant equation for such hypersurfaces generalizing the biharmonic hypersurface equation in space forms studied in \cite{Ji2}, \cite{CH}, \cite{CMO1}, \cite{CMO2}. We then apply the equation to show that the generalized Chen's conjecture is true for totally umbilical biharmonic hypersurfaces in an Einstein space, and construct a (2-parameter) family of conformally flat metrics and a (4-parameter) family of multiply warped product metrics each of which turns the foliation of an upper-half space of $\mathhbb{R}^m$ by parallel hyperplanes into a foliation with each leave a proper biharmonic hypersurface. We also characterize proper biharmonic vertical cylinders in $S^2\times \mathbb{R}$ and $H^2\times \mathbb{R}$.
 Mathematics , 2010, Abstract: In a previous work, we studied isoparametric functions on Riemannian manifolds, especially on exotic spheres. One result there says that, in the family of isoparametric hypersurfaces of a closed Riemannian manifold, there exist at least one minimal isoparametric hypersurface. In this note, we show such minimal isoparametric hypersurface is also unique in the family if the ambient manifold has positive Ricci curvature. Moreover, we give a proof of the Theorem D claimed by Q.M.Wang (without proof) which asserts that the focal submanifolds of an isoparametric function on a complete Riemannian manifold are minimal. Further, we study isoparametric hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures in general Riemannian manifolds. It turns out that in this case the focal submanifolds have the same properties as those in standard sphere, i.e., the shape operator with respect to any normal direction has common constant principal curvatures. Some necessary conditions involving Ricci curvature and scalar curvature are also derived.
 Oscar Perdomo Mathematics , 2009, Abstract: In this paper we show explicit examples of several families of immersions with constant mean curvature and non constant principal curvatures, in semi-riemannian manifolds with constant sectional curvature. In particular, we prove that every h in [-1,-2 sqrt{n-1}/n) can be realized as the constant curvature of a complete immersion of S_1^{n-1} x R in the (n+1)-dimensional de Sitter space S_1^{n+1}. We provide 3 types of immersions with cmc in the Minkowski space, 5 types of immersion with cmc in the de Sitter space and 5 types of immersion with cmc in the anti de Sitter space. At the end of the paper we analyze the families of examples that can be extended to closed hypersurfaces.
 Mathematics , 2009, Abstract: In the first part of this paper, we get new Li-Yau type gradient estimates for positive solutions of heat equation on Riemmannian manifolds with $Ricci(M)\ge -k$, $k\in \mathbb R$. As applications, several parabolic Harnack inequalities are obtained and they lead to new estimates on heat kernels of manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded from below. In the second part, we establish a Perelman type Li-Yau-Hamilton differential Harnack inequality for heat kernels on manifolds with $Ricci(M)\ge -k$, which generalizes a result of L. Ni \cite{NL1,NL4}. As applications, we obtain new Harnack inequalities and heat kernel estimates on general manifolds. We also obtain various entropy monotonicity formulas for all compact Riemannian manifolds.
