Minimal hypersurfaces of finite δ-index in ℝ4 and ℝ5
Abstract
Let X:Mn→ℝn+1 be a complete, connected, two-sided minimal immersion without boundary, where n=3,4. We prove that finite δ-index, finite Morse index, and finite total curvature are equivalent for δ>((n−1)/n)2, without assumptions on properness, volume growth, or topology. The main estimate shows that δ-stability outside a compact set and finite-dimensional Hc1(M;ℝ) imply intrinsic Euclidean volume growth for δ>(n−2)/n. We also deduce the sharp δ-stable Bernstein theorem in this latter range from results of Hong--Li--Wang and Florit-Simon.

We prove that finite δ-index, finite Morse index, and finite total curvature are equivalent for δ>((n−1)/n)^2, without assumptions on properness, volume growth, or topology. The main estimate shows that δ-stability outside a compact set and finite-dimensional H_c^1(M;ℝ) imply intrinsic Euclidean volume growth for δ>(n−2)/n.
