A hyperbolic Michael–Simon inequality for higher mean curvatures
A hyperbolic Michael–Simon inequality for higher mean curvatures
Let be a compact hypersurface in hyperbolic space , possibly with boundary , and let be a positive smooth function on . For , let denote the normalized -th mean curvature and let be defined similarly; write for the radial derivative factor, for the intrinsic gradient, for the unit outward normal, for the support function, and for the Levi-Civita connection of the hyperbolic metric. Then there is a constant such that
Higher-mean-curvature hyperbolic Michael–Simon conjecture. For , the inequality
should hold. In particular, when is closed and is constant,
This is proposed as the higher-mean-curvature analogue of the preceding hyperbolic Michael–Simon inequality. The source does not provide a proof or a resolution, and the constant is not further specified.
