This solves completely a long-standing open problem. In the proof one of crucial ingredients is a new Minkowski type formula. We also prove a Heintze-Karcher-Ros type inequality for hypersurfaces in a ball, which, together with the new Minkowski formula, yields a new proof of Alexandrov's Theorem for embedded CMC hypersurfaces in a ball with free boundary.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-23T00:48:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "uniqueness", "heintze-karcher-ros type inequality", "minkowski type formula", "immersed stable capillary hypersurfaces", "embedded cmc hypersurfaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
