On the first Neumann eigenvalue for critical points of a weighted area functional with asymptotically flat ends

Abstract

In the following work, we obtain a lower bound for the first Neumann eingevalue of the drift Laplacian $\Delta^{\varphi}$ for a family of properly embedded $[\varphi,\vec{e}_{3}]$-minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with concave function $\varphi$ and asymptotically flat ends. As application, we obtain a control on the topology for that surfaces with finite total curvature. The strategy will consists in an integration of the Bouchner's formula by the works of A. Lichnerowicz and S. Brendle, R. Tsiamis and relate said eigenvalue with the Poincare's constant.
