Let $F:[a,b]\longrightarrow \R$ have zero derivative in a dense subset of $[a,b]$. What else we need to conclude that $F$ is constant in $[a,b]$? We prove a result in this direction using some new Mean Value Theorems for integrals which are…

A 7-dimensional area-minimizing embedded hypersurface $M$ will in general have a discrete singular set. The same is true if $M$ is stable, or has bounded index, provided $H^6(sing M) = 0$. We show that if $M_i$ are a sequence of such…

The study of stable minimal surfaces in Riemannian $3$-manifolds $(M, g)$ with non-negative scalar curvature has a rich history. In this paper, we prove rigidity of such surfaces when $(M, g)$ is asymptotically flat and has horizon…
