In this paper we study the deformation and Q-Gorenstein deformation theory of schemes with non-isolated singularities. We obtain obstruction spaces for the existence of deformations and also for local deformations to exist globally. Finally…
In this paper we consider surfaces which are critical points of the Willmore functional subject to constrained area. In the case of small area we calculate the corrections to the intrinsic geometry induced by the ambient curvature. These…
This paper investigates the interplay between algebraic structure, topology, and differentiability in Clifford semigroups. The study is developed along three main themes. First, in the compact Hausdorff setting, we provide an explicit…

We introduce two basic invariant forms which define generic surface in 3-space uniquely up to Lie sphere equivalence. Two particularly interesting classes of surfaces associated with these invariants are considered, namely, the Lie-minimal…
We investigate the Hawking energy of small surfaces in space times without symmetry assumptions by introducing the notion of Hawking type functionals. In particular, we find that Hawking type functionals are generalized Willmore functionals…

In this paper, we prove a similar result to the fundamental theorem of regular surfaces in classical differential geometry, which extends the classical theorem to the entire class of singular surfaces in Euclidean 3-space known as frontals.…
The paper is devoted to the variational analysis of the Willmore, and other L^2 curvature functionals, among immersions of 2-dimensional surfaces into a compact riemannian m-manifold (M^m,h) with m>2. The goal of the paper is twofold, on…
Mechanical fields over thin elastic surfaces can develop singularities at isolated points and curves in response to constrained deformations (e.g., crumpling and folding of paper), singular body forces and couples, distributions of isolated…
We study local and global approximations of smooth nets of curvature lines and smooth conjugate nets by respective discrete nets (circular nets and planar quadrilateral nets) with infinitesimal quads. It is shown that choosing the points of…
We study the geometry of surfaces in $\mathbb R^5$ by relating it to the geometry of regular and singular surfaces in $\mathbb R^4$ obtained by orthogonal projections. In particular, we obtain relations between asymptotic directions, which…
Understanding the mechanical response and failure of solids is of obvious importance in their use as structural materials. The nature of plastic deformation leading to yielding of amorphous solids has been vigorously pursued in recent…
New aspects of a relation between lattice and dislocation structures are examined within a physically transparent theoretical scheme. Predicted features originating from the lattice discreteness include: (i) multiple core dislocation…
We study the systems of ordinary differential equations which are implicit with respect to the higher derivatives, appearing in the linear form, and their solutions near the singular points. The invertibility of the higher derivatives…
We obtain in arbitrary codimension a removability result on the order of singularity of Willmore surfaces realising the width of Willmore min-max problems on spheres. As a consequence, out of the twelve families of non-planar minimal…
We study iterations of two classical constructions, the evolutes and involutes of plane curves, and we describe the limiting behavior of both constructions on a class of smooth curves with singularities given by their support functions.…
This paper is dedicated to the exploration of the conformal Willmore functional for surfaces within 4-dimensional conformal manifolds. We provide a detailed calculation of both the first and second variations, and present the Euler-Lagrange…
In this paper we prove two theorems. The first one is a structure result that describes the extrinsic geometry of an embedded surface with constant mean curvature (possibly zero) in a homogeneously regular Riemannian three-manifold, in any…
Geometric flows, where an immersed manifold evolves in time according to its own geometry, exhibit important structural properties. For example, surface diffusion dissipates surface area while conserving volume; it is desirable to preserve…
