摘要

We prove “half-space” intersection properties in three settings: the hemisphere, half-geodesic balls in space forms, and certain subsets of Gaussian space. For instance, any two embedded minimal hypersurfaces in the sphere must intersect in every closed hemisphere. Two approaches are developed: one using classifications of stable minimal hypersurfaces, and the second using conformal change and comparison geometry for \(\alpha \) α -Bakry-Émery-Ricci curvature. Our methods yield the analogous intersection properties for free boundary minimal hypersurfaces in space form balls, even when the interior or boundary curvature may be negative. Finally, Colding and Minicozzi recently showed that any two embedded shrinkers of dimension n must intersect in a large enough Euclidean ball of radius R(n). We show that \(R(n) \le 2 \sqrt{n}\) R ( n ) 2 n .
