Abstract

In this paper, we obtain results on rigidity of complete Riemannianmanifolds with weighted Poincar\'e inequality. As an application, weprove that if $M$ is a complete $\frac{n-2}{n}$-stable minimalhypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with $n\geq 3$ and has boundednorm of the second fundamental form, then $M$ must either have onlyone end or be a catenoid.
