The main goal of this dissertation is to present some results on minimal hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space related to the stability operator. Initially, we will present the demonstrations of the formulas of first and second variations of area and also the demonstration of the Simons inequality. These results (which are basic results of the theory) will be used later. Next we will present the proof of the do Carmo-Peng s theorem showing that a complete stable minimal hypersurface immersed in the Euclidean space with finite L2 norm of the second fundamental form is a hyperplane. We will include in this dissertation a similar result with the L3 norm of the second fundamental form. This last result was proved by Li-Wei in the case where the hypersurface has dimension 3, but we note that proof applies to 3≤n≤7. We will conclude by presenting some results on non-stable minimal hypersurfaces in R^3 due to Fischer-Colbrie and Lopez-Ros. In particular, we will show that the catenoid and Enneper s surface are the only minimal complete orientable surfaces with index equal to one. / O objetivo principal desta dissertação é apresentar alguns resultados importantes sobre hipersuperfícies mínimas no espaço Euclidiano relacionados com o operador de estabilidade. Inicialmente, apresentaremos as demonstrações das fórmulas da primeira e da segunda variações da área bem como a demonstração da desigualdade de Simons. Estes resultados, que são básicos da teoria, serão usados posteriormente. Em seguida, apresentaremos a demonstração do teorema de do Carmo-Peng, o qual assegura que uma hipersuperfície mínima completa estável imersa no espaço Euclidiano com a norma L2 da segunda forma fundamental finita é um hiperplano. Incluiremos na dissertação um resultado análogo com a norma L3 da segunda forma fundamental. Este último resultado foi provado por Li-Wei no caso em que a hipersuperfície tem dimensão 3, mas notamos que a demonstração se aplica para 3≤n≤7. Concluiremos apresentando alguns resultados sobre hipersuperfícies mínimas não estáveis no R^3 obtido por Fischer-Colbrie e López-Ros. Em particular, mostraremos que o catenóide e a superfície de Enneper são as únicas superfícies mínimas completas e orientadas com índice igual a um.

In this work we prove two theorems that characterize the hypersurfaces in the unitary sphere of dimension n+1. The first result, obtained by H. Alencar and M. do Carmo, classifies hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in the sphere. This result was published in April 1994 in Proceedings of The American Mathematical Society, volume 120, number 4 with the title Hypersurfaces with Constant Mean Curvature. The second result was obtained by Li Haizhong in the article Hypersurfaces with Constant Scalar Curvature in Space Forms, published in 1996 in the journal Mathematisch Annalen, volume 305. The theorem of Li Haizhong characterizes hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in the sphere. We prove the theorem of Li Haizhong using the results obtained by H. Alencar and M. do Carmo. / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Nesta dissertação apresentamos dois teoremas que caracterizam as hipersuperfícies na esfera unitária de dimensão n+1.

The goal of this dissertation is to present a R. Reilly's demonstration of the theorem of Alexandrov . The theorem states that The only compact hypersurfaces, conected, of constant mean curvature, immersed in Euclidean space are spheres. The theorem of Alexandrov was proved by A. D. Alexandrov in the article Uniqueness Theorems for Surfaces in the Large V, published in 1958 by Vestnik Leningrad University, volume 13, number 19, pages 5 to 8. In his demonstration, Alexandrov used the famous Principle of tangency, introduced by him in that article. In the year 1962, M. Obata shown in Certain Conditions for a Riemannian Manifold to be isometric With the Sphere, published by the Journal of Mathematical Society of Japan, volume 14, pages 333 to 340, that a Riemannian Manifold M, compact, connected and without boundary, is isometric to a sphere, since the Ricci curvature of M satisfies certain lower bound. This theorem solves the problem of finding manifolds that reach equality in the estimate of Lichnerowicz for the first eigenvalue. In 1977, R. Reilly, in the article Applications of the Hessian operator in a Riemannian Manifold, published in Indianna University Mathematical Journal, volume 23, pages 459 to 452, showed a generalization of the Obata theorem for compact manifolds with boundary. As an example of the technique developed in this demonstration, he presents a new demonstration of the theorem of Alexandrov. This demonstration, as well as the techniques involved are the object of study of this work. / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / O objetivo desta dissertação é apresentar uma demonstração de R. Reilly para o Teorema de Alexandrov. O teorema estabelece que As únicas hipersuperfícies compactas, conexas, de curvatura média constante, mergulhadas no espaço Euclidiano são as esferas. O teorema de Alexandrov foi provado por A. D. Alexandrov no artigo Uniqueness Theorems for Surfaces in the Large V, publicado em 1958 pela Vestnik Leningrad University, volume 13, número 19, páginas 5 a 8. Em sua demonstração, Alexandrov usou o famoso Princípio de Tangência, introduzido por ele no citado artigo. No ano de 1962, M. Obata demonstrou em Certain Conditions for a Riemannian Manifold to be Isometric With a Sphere, publicado pelo Journal of Mathematical Society of Japan, volume 14, páginas 333 a 340, que uma variedade Riemanniana M, compacta, conexa e sem bordo, é isométrica a uma esfera, desde que a curvatura de Ricci de M satisfaça determinada limitação inferior. Este teorema resolve o problema de encontrar as variedades que atingem a igualdade na estimativa de Lichnerowicz para o primeiro autovalor. Em 1977, R. Reilly, no artigo Applications of the Hessian Operator in a Riemannian Manifold, publicado no Indianna University Mathematical Journal, volume 23, páginas 459 a 452, demonstrou uma generalização do Teorema de Obata para variedades compactas com bordo. Como exemplo da técnica desenvolvida nesta demonstração, ele apresenta uma nova demonstração do Teorema de Alexandrov. Esta demonstração, bem como as técnicas envolvidas, são o objeto de estudo deste trabalho.

Este trabalho está dividido em duas partes distintas. Na primeira parte caracterizamos os números de Lê de polinômios que são rodutos de polinômios de Pham-Brieskorn de mesmo tipo, que denominamos de arranjos de Pham-Brieskorn, obtendo fórmulas para estes números somente utilizando o número de variáveis, os pesos e o grau de homogeneidade destes polinômios. Na segunda parte nos dedicamos a estabelecer relações entre os números de Lê, que é um conceito local, e as classes de Milnor, que são objetos globais que fornecem informações quanto a geometria e topologia de hipersuperfícies analíticas complexas. No contexto geral, usando a hipótese de especialização, relacionamos a classe de Milnor de dimensão máxima de uma hipersuperfície Z numa variedade compacta M com uma soma, sobre os estratos de uma estratificação de Whitney de Z (com estratos conexos) que estão contidos no conjunto singular, em termos do último número de Lê associado a cada estrato. Além disso, obtivemos uma caracterização da classe de Milnor de dimensão mínima via os números de Lê sem usar a hipótese de especialização. Esta classe coincide com o chamado número de Milnor de Parusinski que, assim como os números de Lê, também é uma generalização do número de Milnor / This work is divided into two distinct parts. In the first part we characterize the Lê numbers of polynomials that are products of Pham- Brieskorn polynomials of the same type that we call Pham-Brieskorn arrangements, obtaining formulas to these numbers only using the number of variables, weights and degree of homogeneity of these polynomials. In the second part we are dedicated to establishing relationships between Lê numbers, which is a local concept, and the Milnor classes, which are global objects that provide information about the geometry and topology of complex analytic hypersurfaces. In a general context, using the hypothesis of specialization we relate the top dimensional Milnor class of a hypersurface Z in a compact manifold M with a sum given in terms of the last Lê number associated to each stratum of a Whitney estratification of Z (with connected strata) that are contained in singular set. Moreover, we obtain a characterization of the Milnor class of minimum dimension via the Lê numbers without using the hypothesis of specialization. This class coincides with the Milnor number of Parusinski that, as the Lê numbers, it is also a generalization of the Milnor number

Cette thèse traite de la reconstruction d'hypersurfaces au sein de champs de normales en dimension quelconque et trouve des applications dans l’analyse des empreintes digitales (lignes dermiques), des images satellites météorologiques (lieux de turbulence) et astrophysiques (bras de galaxies) ainsi que dans l’analyse stratigraphique des images sismiques (horizons). Les méthodes développées s’appuient sur la minimisation d’une équation aux dérivées partielles non linéaire reliant une hypersurface au pendage déduit d’un champ de normales. Elles prennent en compte des contraintes diverses telles que des points de passages, des frontières, des bornes et des discontinuités. La contribution principale de la thèse réside dans l’introduction d’un changement d’espace du pendage qui permet de reconstruire aussi bien des hypersurfaces exprimées sous des formes implicites dans les repères de définition des champs de normales que des horizons sismiques de manière rapide et interactive. Deux schémas de reconstruction d’horizons sismiques unidimensionnels présentant une discontinuité d’amplitude et de lieu inconnus sont également proposés. / This thesis deals with the reconstruction of hypersurfaces from a finite-dimensional normal vector field. Application scopes can be found in the analysis of fingerprints (epidermal ridges), meteorological images (eddies and cyclones), astrophysical images (galaxy arms) and in the stratigraphic analysis of seismic images (horizons). The hypersurfaces are obtained by solving a non-linear partial derivative equation relied on the local dip deduced from a normal vector field. Several constraints such as boundaries, bounds, points belonging to the hypersurface or discontinuities can be considered.The major contribution of this thesis consists in a local dip transformation which allows to reconstruct implicit hypersurfaces as well as seismic horizons by a fast and interactive method. Two schemes dedicated to the reconstruction of discontinuous one-dimensional seismic horizons are also proposed when the discontinuity location and jump are unknown.

Treten im Beton mehraxiale Spannungszustände auf, führen diese gegenüber einer einaxialen Beanspruchung zu einer signifikanten Änderung des Materialverhaltens. Neben einer festigkeitssteigernden bzw. -abmindernden Wirkung ergeben sich ebenfalls große Unterschiede im Spannungs-Dehnungs-Verhalten. Zur effizienten Konzipierung von Betonstrukturen unter komplexen Beanspruchungszuständen ist daher die Kenntnis des veränderten Materialverhaltens notwendig. Zur experimentellen Bestimmung des Spannungs-Dehnungs-Verhaltens eines Ultrahochleistungsbetons mit einer einaxialen Druckfestigkeit von über 170 N/mm² wurden mehraxiale Belastungsversuche an würfelförmigen Probekörpern durchgeführt. Die Untersuchung umfasste insgesamt 35 zwei- und dreiaxiale Spannungsverhältnisse unter proportionaler Laststeigerung mit vorrangiger Betrachtung von Zug-Druck-Druck-Beanspruchungen. Für die Einleitung der Zugbeanspruchungen in die Prüfkörper wurde eine neue Methode entwickelt, bei der mittels einbetonierter Schrauben die Belastung auf den Beton übertragen wird. Die Bestimmung des Verformungsverhaltens erfolgte im Inneren der Probekörper mit sechs tetraederförmig angeordneten Faser-Bragg-Gittern. Die somit direkt gemessenen Dehnungen ermöglichen die nachträgliche Berechnung der Komponenten des Dehnungstensors des Bezugskoordinatensystems. Für den untersuchten Ultrahochleitsungsbeton fallen die auf die einaxiale Druckfestigkeit bezogenen mehraxialen Festigkeitswerte mit zunehmendem hydrostatischen Druckspannungsanteil der Beanspruchung geringer aus als bei Normalbetonen. Weiterhin weist das Verformungsverhalten eine größere Sprödigkeit gegenüber Normalbetonen auf, so dass auch unter dreiaxialen Druckspannungszuständen die Probekörper schlagartig versagen. Aus den gemessenen Spannungs-Dehnungs-Linien werden neben den maximalen Festigkeiten die Festigkeitswerte an der Elastizitätsgrenze, der Affinitätsgrenze sowie beim Volumenminimum der Probekörper bestimmt. Zur Approximation dieser charakteristischen Werte wurde eine Grenzflächenbeschreibung entwickelt und an den Versuchsergebnissen kalibriert. Des Weiteren erfolgte die Zusammenstellung einer Datenbank mit in der Literatur verfügbaren mehraxialen maximalen Festigkeitswerten von Betonen mit einaxialen Druckfestigkeiten von 10 N/mm² bis 180 N/mm² und die Kalibrierung des entwickelten Modells zur Grenzflächenbeschreibung in Abhängigkeit der einaxialen Druckfestigkeit. Die bei der Kalibrierung der Grenzfläche für einzelne Betonfestigkeitsklassen bestimmten Freiwerte hängen dabei stark von den vorliegenden Versuchsdaten und speziell vom Wertebereich der hydrostatischen Spannungsanteile der maximalen Beanspruchungen ab. Die Approximation des Spannungs-Dehnungs-Verhaltens der mehraxial beanspruchten Probekörper erfolgt mittels eines schädigungsbasierten Materialgesetzes. Hierbei wird für den anfänglich isotropen Beton zum einen eine lastinduzierte isotrope Schädigung und zum anderen eine lastinduzierte orthotrope Schädigung angenommen, die von den auftretenden Hauptdehnungen abhängig ist. Mit dem entwickelten Materialgesetz werden sehr gute Übereinstimmungen mit den gemessenen Spannungs-Dehnungs-Linien erreicht, so dass sich ebenfalls eine gute Vorhersage der maximalen Festigkeitswerte ergibt. / Concrete under multiaxial stress states shows significant changes of the material behaviour compared to uniaxial loading. Besides strength increasing and decreasing effects, also great differences in the stress-strain behaviour occur. In order to design concrete structures efficiently concerning complex stress states, the knowledge about the modified material behaviour is necessary. To determine experimentally the stress-strain behaviour of an ultra high performance concrete with a uniaxial compressive strength of about 170 N/mm², multiaxial loading tests on cubic-shaped specimens were carried out. Altogether, the investigation contained 35 biaxial and triaxial stress ratios under proportionally increasing load with primarily tension-compression-compression loadings. Applying the tensile load on the specimen, a new method was developed, which uses screws embedded in the concrete to transfer the loading. The deformations were measured by using six tetrahedron-shaped arranged Fibre Bragg Gratings inside the concrete specimen. Subsequently, with the directly measured strains the components of the strain tensor of the reference coordinate system could be determined. For the investigated ultra high performance concrete the increase of the multiaxial strength, referring to the uniaxial compressive strength, decreases compared to normal strength concrete with the increasing hydrostatic stress component of the load. Moreover, the deformation behaviour shows an increased brittleness compared to normal strength concrete, so that even under triaxial compressive stress states the specimens fail abruptly. Besides the ultimate strength, from the measured stress-strain curves the strength at the proportional limit, at the limit of affinity as well as at the minimum volume of the specimen is determined. To approximate these characteristic values, a description of a hypersurface is developed and calibrated with the test results. Furthermore, a database with multiaxial ultimate strength values of concretes with uniaxial compressive strengths between 10 N/mm² to 180 N/mm² available from literature was compiled and a calibration of the developed hypersurface model depending on the uniaxial compressive strength was carried out. Thereby, the obtained values of arbitrary parameters of individual concrete strength classes depend severely on the available test results, especially on the range of values of the hydrostatic stress component of the ultimate strength. The approximation of the stress-strain behaviour of the multiaxial loaded specimens is carried out by means of a damage-based material law. For this purpose, concerning the initially isotropic concrete, a load-induced isotropic and orthotropic damage depending on the principle strains is assumed. With the developed material law, very good accordance with the measured stress-strain curves could be achieved, so that also results in a good approximation of the ultimate concrete strength.
