We show that any such surface is umbilic, provided that the warping factor satisfies certain structure conditions. This theorem can be viewed as a generalization of the classical Alexandrov theorem in Euclidean space. In particular, our results apply to the deSitter-Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrom manifolds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2012-10-20T17:06:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "constant mean curvature surfaces", "warped product manifolds", "euclidean space", "warping factor satisfies", "reissner-nordstrom manifolds" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1105.4273B" } } }
