ON THE EXISTENCE OF STABLE MINIMAL HYPERSURFACES OF THE THREE DIMENSIONAL CRITICAL POINT EQUATION

On a compact oriented smooth 3-dimensional manifold (M, g), we consider the critical point equation(CPE) defined as $z_g=s^{{\prime}*}_g(f)$. Under CPE, it is shown in [5] that every stable minimal hypersurface in M is contained in ${\varphi}^{-1}(0)$ for ${\varphi}{\in}$ ker $s^{{\prime}*}_g$. We study analytic and geometric conditions under which the stable minimal hypersurface in M does not exist.
