Embeddedness of the solutions to the H-Plateau Problem

Abstract

We generalize Meeks and Yau's embeddedness result on the solutions of the Plateau problem to the constant mean curvature disks. We show that any minimizing H-disk in an H_0-convex domain is embedded for any H in [0,H_0). In particular, for the unit ball B in R^3, this implies that for any H in [0,1], any Jordan curve in the unit sphere bounds an embedded H-disk in B.Comment: 23 pages, 2 figures, minor change
