Does the strong maximum principle for minimal surfaces hold in Riemannian manifolds?

In Euclidean spaces, the following maximum principle for minimal surfaces are well known. Theorem: If $\Sigma_1$, $\Sigma_2 \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ are complete connected minimal hypersurfaces, $\Sigma_ …

References on smoothness of minimal surfaces in Riemannian manifolds

It's well known that $C^1$ minimal surfaces (surfaces that are locally area minimzing) in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are automatically smooth, and one can prove this result by solving the Dirichlet problem of the …

A question on the maximum principle of second order elliptic equations

Let $Lu=a^{ij}u_{ij} + b^i u_i$ be an elliptic operator of second order in a bounded domain $\Omega$. Assume that $a^{ij}$ is uniformly elliptic. Then it's well known that the following maximum princi …
