Rigidity of Euclidean Minimal Hypersurfaces under Nonuniform Diagonal Dilations
Abstract
Let n≥3 and Dt=diag(tg1,…,tgn) be a positive diagonal dilation family. We study connected embedded Euclidean hypersurfaces whose diagonal images are minimal. The level-set minimality operator splits into coefficients indexed by the pair sums gi+gj. Under pair-sum nonresonance, minimality at only binom n2 distinct dilation parameters forces all pair coefficients to vanish. A dimension-reduction argument then shows, without any hypothesis on the coordinate components of the normal, that the second fundamental form vanishes identically. This yields an affine characterization. Repeated-weight helicoidal examples in every dimension and a resonant quadratic cone show that curvature cancellation can survive in genuinely nonuniform families. An application gives a finite-output-level rigidity criterion and an explicit representation for weighted-homogeneous production functions with minimal isoquants.
