Abstract
In this chapter we consider the following configuration: a Riemannian manifold X of bounded geometry, some closed Jordan curves Γ j , and a supporting surface ∂K, disjoint from the Γ j . We further assume that the Γ j are contained in a suitable barrier ∂A of nonnegative mean curvature (cf. §2 for details).
