Abstract

In the paper, three lower bounds are given for the Morse index of a constant mean curvature torus in Euclidean $3$ -space, in terms of its spectral genus $g$ . The first two lower bounds grow linearly in $g$ and are stronger for smaller values of $g$ , while the third grows quadratically in $g$ but is weaker for smaller values of $g$ .
