Diameter, Area, and Mean curvature

Abstract

In this note, we extend diameter bounds of Simon, Topping, and Wu--Zheng to submanifolds with boundary and (potentially non-compact) ambient manifolds with minor curvature restrictions. The bound is dependent on both an integral of mean curvature and the area of the manifold. We apply our diameter bounds to minimal, constant mean curvature, and prescribed mean curvature surfaces arising in min-max constructions.
