Let $F:M^n\to\Sn^{n+q}(1)$ be a closed connected minimal immersion in the unit sphere with second fundamental form $h$, $n\ge3$, $q\ge2$, and $S=|h|^2$. We prove that if $M$ is not totally geodesic, then \[ \max_M S\ge \frac{2n}{3}+\frac{n-2}{6300(39n+8)} \ge\frac{2n}{3}+\frac1{787500}. \]
Let $(M^{n+1},g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. Under the assumptions $\Ric_g\geq ng$ and $\II_g\geq0$, Wang proposed a sharp strengthening of the Choi--Wang--Reilly estimate, asserting that the first nonzero Laplace eigenvalue of the boundary is at least $n$; see [J. Geom. Anal. 31 (2021)]. We disprove this assertion in every dimension $n+1\geq3$. More precisely, we construct a sequence of metrics on the hemisphere $\Sph^{n+1}_{+}$ converging in $C^\infty$ to the round metric and satisfying \[ \Ric_g>n g,\qquad \II_g>0,\qquad \lambda_1(\partial\Sph^{n+1}_{+},g|_{\partial\Sph^{n+1}_{+}})<n. \] The construction starts from Zhu's infinitesimal conformal deformation, which lowers one branch of the first boundary eigenspace while preserving the normalized Ricci lower bound to first order. We add a multiple of the spherical height function.
