Uniqueness and sharp existence bound for invariant CMC tubes
Let be a screw motion geodesic in a homogeneous space with parameters and , and let a tube invariant by translations along have constant mean curvature . Sharp existence and uniqueness conjecture. There exists a unique constant such that an invariant constant-mean-curvature tube along exists if and only if . Whenever such a tube exists, it is unique up to isometry. The conjecture is motivated by numerical evidence and extends uniqueness results known for , , and with horizontal geodesic ; the sharpness of the existence bound and uniqueness in the general case remain open.
