Compact Minimal Submanifolds in a Large Class of Riemannian Manifolds

Abstract

AbstractThrough a new technique, we provide uniqueness, rigidity and non-existence results for compact minimal submanifolds of arbitrary dimension in a large class of Riemannian manifolds, which include between others, Riemannian double-twisted and warped products. Moreover, we show that our results can be applied in particular, to space forms and Cartan–Hadamard manifolds, re-obtaining several classic results in a different approach. Interesting applications to Geometric Analysis are also showed.
