The rigidity of embedded constant mean curvature surfaces

We study the rigidity of complete, embedded constant mean curvature surfaces in R^3. Among other things, we prove that when such a surface has finite genus, then intrinsic isometries of the surface extend to isometries of R^3 or its isometry group contains an index two subgroup of isometries that extend.Comment: 10 page

Existence of regular neighborhoods for H-surfaces

In this paper, we study the global geometry of complete, constant mean curvature hypersurfaces embedded in n-manifolds. More precisely, we give conditions that imply properness of such surfaces and prove the existence of fixed size one-sided regular neighborhoods for certain constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in certain n-manifolds.Comment: 11 page

One-sided curvature estimates for H-disks

In this paper we prove an extrinsic one-sided curvature estimate for disks embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with constant mean curvature which is independent of the value of the constant mean curvature. We apply this extrinsic one-sided curvature estimate in [24] to prove to prove a weak chord arc type result for these disks. In Section 4 we apply this weak chord arc result to obtain an intrinsic version of the one-sided curvature estimate for disks embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with constant mean curvature. In a natural sense, these one-sided curvature estimates generalize respectively, the extrinsic and intrinsic one-sided curvature estimates for minimal disks embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ given by Colding and Minicozzi in Theorem 0.2 of [8] and in Corollary 0.8 of [9].Comment: Minor corrections.
