We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

A generalization of Reilly's formula and its applications to a new Heintze-Karcher type inequality
Guohuan Qiu and Chao Xia
Abstract
In this paper, we prove a generalization of Reilly's formula in [10]. We apply such general Reilly's formula to give alternative proofs of the Alexandrov's Theorem and the Heintze-Karcher inequality in the hemisphere and in the hyperbolic space. Moreover, we use the general Reilly's formula to prove a new Heintze-Karcher inequality for Riemannian manifolds with boundary and sectional curvature bounded below.
