Exit radii of submanifolds from cylindrical domains in warped product manifolds

Abstract

Let UB(p0; ρ1) × f MV be a cylindrically bounded domain in a warped product manifold := MB × fMV and let M be an isometrically immersed submanifold in . The purpose of this paper is to provide explicit radii of the geodesic balls of M which first exit from UB(p0; ρ1) × fMV for the case in which the mean curvature of M is sufficiently small and the lower bound of the Ricci curvature of M does not diverge to –∞ too rapidly at infinity.
