Let Σ ⊂ R 3 be a smooth compact connected surface without boundary. Denote by A its second fundamental form and by A the tensor A−(tr A/2)Id. In [4] we proved that, if ‖A‖ L 2 (Σ) is small, then Σ is W 2,2-close to a round sphere. In this note we show that, in addition, the metric of Σ is C 0–close to the standard metric of S 2. 

AN ESTIMATE FOR THE GENUS OF EMBEDDED SURFACES IN THE 3 -SPHERE

. By refining the volume estimate of Heintze and Karcher [10], we obtain a sharp pinching estimate for the genus of a surface in S 3 , which involves an integral of the norm of its traceless second

Explicit rigidity of almost-umbilical hypersurfaces

We give an explicit estimate of the distance of a closed, connected, oriented and immersed hypersurface of a space form to a geodesic sphere and show that the spherical closeness can be controlled by

Quantitative rigidity results for conformal immersions

In this paper we prove several quantitative rigidity results for conformal immersions of surfaces in ℝ with bounded total curvature. We show that (branched) conformal immersions which are close in

Stability from rigidity via umbilicity

Abstract We consider a range of geometric stability problems for hypersurfaces of spaceforms. One of the key results is an estimate relating the distance to a geodesic sphere of an embedded

Refined position estimates for surfaces of Willmore type in Riemannian manifolds

In this paper we consider surfaces which are critical points of the Willmore functional subject to constrained area. In the case of small area we calculate the corrections to the intrinsic geometry

A monotonicity formula for free boundary surfaces with respect to the unit ball

We prove a monotonicity identity for compact surfaces with free boundaries inside the boundary of unit ball in $\mathbb R^n$ that have square integrable mean curvature. As one consequence we obtain a

Foliations by stable spheres with constant mean curvature for isolated systems without asymptotic symmetry

In 1996, Huisken–Yau showed that every three-dimensional Riemannian manifold can be uniquely foliated near infinity by stable closed CMC-surfaces if it is asymptotically equal to the (spatial)

Small Surfaces of Willmore Type in Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper we investigate the properties of small surfaces of Willmore type in Riemannian manifolds. By small surfaces we mean topological spheres contained in a geodesic ball of small enough

On the Shape of Compact Hypersurfaces with Almost‐Constant Mean Curvature

The distance of an almost‐constant mean curvature boundary from a finite family of disjoint tangent balls with equal radii is quantitatively controlled in terms of the oscillation of the scalar mean

QUANTITATIVE OSCILLATION ESTIMATES FOR ALMOST-UMBILICAL CLOSED HYPERSURFACES IN EUCLIDEAN SPACE

We prove ${\it\epsilon}$-closeness of hypersurfaces to a sphere in Euclidean space under the assumption that the traceless second fundamental form is ${\it\delta}$-small compared to the mean

Optimal rigidity estimates for nearly umbilical surfaces

Let Σ ⊂ R 3 be a smooth compact connected surface without boundary and denote by A its second fundamental form. We prove the existence of a universal constant C such that

On surfaces of finite total curvature

We consider surfaces M immersed into R n and we prove that the quantity J M \A\ 2 (where A is the second fundamental form) controls in many ways the behaviour of conformal parametrizations of M. If M
