Title:Rigidity of Parallel Mean Curvature Surfaces with Constant Contact Angle
Abstract:Parallel mean curvature (PMC) surfaces extend constant mean curvature surfaces to higher codimension. In this talk, we discuss some recent rigidity results for branched immersed PMC surfaces in geodesic balls of space forms, with a non-orthogonal constant contact angle condition. We will also present some examples of minimal surfaces with non-orthogonal contact angle revealing a phenomenon that does not occur in the orthogonal setting.
