In dimension two, the integral pinching condition reduces to a topological assumption and we recover the classical Hopf-Chern result.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-10-09T09:46:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "constant mean curvature", "space forms", "optimal integral pinching condition", "integral pinching condition reduces", "rotational hypersurface" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1410.2404C" } } }
