New Heintze-Karcher type inequalities in sub-static warped product manifolds

Abstract

In this paper, we prove Heintze-Karcher type inequalities involving the shifted mean curvature for smooth bounded domains in certain sub-static warped product manifolds. In particular, we prove a Heintze-Karcher-type inequality for non mean-convex domains in the hyperbolic space. As applications, we obtain uniqueness results for hypersurfaces satisfying a class of curvature equations.
