Limit leaves of a CMC lamination are stable
  Suppose ${\cal L}$ is a lamination of a Riemannian manifold by hypersurfaces with the same constant mean curvature. We prove that every limit leaf of ${\cal L}$ is stable for the Jacobi operator. A simple but important consequence of this result is that the set of stable leaves of ${\cal L}$ has the structure of a lamination.
