In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the hypersurface Mn in the Euclidean (n + 1)-space ℝn+1 that satisfies an equation of mean curvature type, called singular minimal hypersurface equation. Such an equation physically characterizes the surfaces in the upper half-space ℝ+3 (u) with lowest gravity center, for a fixed unit vector u ∈ ℝ3. We first state that a singular minimal cylinder Mn in ℝn+1 is either a hyperplane or a α-catenary cylinder. It is also shown that this result remains true when Mn is a translation hypersurface and u is a horizantal vector. As a further application, we prove that a singular minimal translation graph in ℝ3 of the form z = f(x) + g(y + cx), c ∈ ℝ - {0}, with respect to a certain horizantal vector u is either a plane or a α-catenary cylinder.

In this paper we give an upper bound of the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator on a complete stable minimal hypersurface M in the hyperbolic space which has finite $L^2$-norm of the second fundamental form on M. We provide some sufficient conditions for minimal hypersurface of the hyperbolic space to be stable. We also describe stability of catenoids and helicoids in the hyperbolic space. In particular, it is shown that there exists a family of stable higher-dimensional catenoids in the hyperbolic space.

For a compact and orientable minimal real hypersurface $M\;in\;QP^n$, we prove that if the minimum of the sectional curvatures of Mis 3/(4n - 1), then M is isometric to the geodesic minimal hypersphere $M_{0,n-1}^Q$.

On a compact oriented smooth 3-dimensional manifold (M, g), we consider the critical point equation(CPE) defined as $z_g=s^{{\prime}*}_g(f)$. Under CPE, it is shown in [5] that every stable minimal hypersurface in M is contained in ${\varphi}^{-1}(0)$ for ${\varphi}{\in}$ ker $s^{{\prime}*}_g$. We study analytic and geometric conditions under which the stable minimal hypersurface in M does not exist.

On a compact n-dimensional manifold $M^n$, a critical point of the total scalar curvature functional, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of volume 1, satifies the critical point equation (CPE), given by $Z_g\;=\;s_g^{1\ast}(f)$. It has been conjectured that a solution (g, f) of CPE is Einstein. The purpose of the present paper is to prove that every compact stable minimal hypersurface is in a certain hypersurface of $M^n$ under an assumption that Ker($s_g^{1\ast}{\neq}0$).

Let ($M^n$, g) be a compact oriented Riemannian manifold. It has been conjectured that every solution of the equation $z_g=D_gdf-{\Delta}_gfg-fr_g$ is an Einstein metric. In this article, we deal with the 3 dimensional case of the equation. In dimension 3, if the conjecture fails, there should be a stable minimal hypersurface in ($M^3$, g). We study some necessary conditions to guarantee that a stable minimal hypersurface exists in $M^3$.

Let N be a complete Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and let M be a complete noncompact oriented stable minimal hypersurface in N. We prove that if M has at least two ends and ${\int}_M{\mid}A{\mid}^2\;dv={\infty}$, then M admits a nonconstant harmonic function with finite Dirichlet integral, where A is the second fundamental form of M. We also show that the space of $L^2$ harmonic 1-forms on such a stable minimal hypersurface is not trivial. Our result is a generalization of one of main results in [12] because if N has nonnegative sectional curvature, then M admits no nonconstant harmonic functions with finite Dirichlet integral. And our result recovers a main theorem in [3] as a corollary.

Let $G\;=\;O(k){\times}O(k){\times}O(q)$ and let $M^n$ be a closed G-invariant minimal hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in $S^{n+1}$. Then we obtain a theorem: If $M^n$ has 2 distinct principal curvatures at some point p, then the square norm of the second fundamental form of $M^n$, S = n.

Let G = O(2) $\times$ O(2) $\times$O(2) and let M$^4$be closed G-invariant minimal hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in S$^{5}$ . If M$^4$has 2 distinct principal curvatures at some point, then S = 4. Moreover, if S > 4, then M$^4$does not have simple principal curvatures everywhere.
