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.

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.

In this note, we investigate stable minimal hypersurfaces with weighted Poincar$\acute{e}$ inequality. We show that we still get the vanishing property without assuming that the hypersurfaces is non-totally geodesic. This generalizes a result in [2].

In this note, we revise some vanishing and finiteness results on hypersurfaces with finite index in ℝⁿ⁺¹. When the hypersurface is stable minimal, we show that there is no nontrivial L^2p harmonic 1-form for some p. The our range of p is better than those in [7]. With the same range of p, we also give finiteness results on minimal hypersurfaces with finite index.

In this article, we study the relations of horizontally homothetic harmonic morphisms with the stability of totally geodesic submanifolds. Let $\varphi:(M^n,g)\rightarrow(N^m,h)$ be a horizontally homothetic harmonic morphism from a Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature and let T be the tensor measuring minimality or totally geodesics of fibers of $\varphi$. We prove that if T is parallel and the horizontal distribution is integrable, then for any totally geodesic submanifold P in N, the inverse set, $\varphi^{-1}$(P), is volume-stable in M. In case that P is a totally geodesic hypersurface the condition on the curvature can be weakened to Ricci curvature.
