    0 references
    The authors study the stability of compact surfaces in the sub-Riemannian three-sphere and obtain an elegant proof of a result already obtained by the second author [Calc. Var. Partial Differ. Equ. 43, No. 3--4, 311--345 (2012; Zbl 1235.53036)]: Let \(\Sigma\) be a compact and stationary \(C^2\)-surface in the sub-Riemannian three-sphere \((S^3,g_h)\). If \(\Sigma\) has no singular points, then it is unstable.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1243.00023].
