Finite Total Curvature and Soap Bubbles With Almost Constant Higher-Order Mean Curvature

Given n ≥ 2 and k ∈ \2, … , n\, we study the asymptotic behaviour of sequences of bounded C²-domains, whose k-th mean curvature functions converge in L¹-norm to a constant. Under certain curvature assumptions, we prove that finite unions of mutually tangent balls are the only possible limits with respect to convergence in volume and perimeter. The key novelty of our statement lies in the fact that we do not assume bounds on the exterior or interior touching balls.
