In Part I, we develop the notions of a Moebius structure and a conformal Cartan geometry, establish an equivalence between them; we use them in Part II to study submanifolds of conformal manifolds in arbitrary dimension and codimension. We…

We study almost complex surfaces in the nearly K\"ahler $S^3\times S^3$. We show that there is a local correspondence between almost complex surfaces and solutions of the H-surface equation introduced by Wente. We find a global holomorphic…

We formulate stochastic partial differential equations on Riemannian manifolds, moving surfaces, general evolving Riemannian manifolds (with appropriate assumptions) and Riemannian manifolds with random metrics, in the variational setting…

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.…

We obtain improved local well-posedness results for the Lorentzian timelike minimal surface equation. In dimension $d=3$, for a surface of arbitrary co-dimension, we show a gain of $1/3$ derivative regularity compared to a generic equation…

The isometric immersion of two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds or surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space is a fundamental problem in differential geometry. When the Gauss curvature is negative, the isometric immersion problem is…

We recall the theory of linear discrete Riemann surfaces and show how to use it in order to interpret a surface embedded in R^3 as a discrete Riemann surface and compute its basis of holomorphic forms on it. We present numerical examples,…

We reformulate the Ponzano-Regge quantum gravity model in terms of surfaces on a 3-dimensional simplex lattice. This formulation (1) has a clear relation to the loop representation of the canonical quantum general relativity in…

Generalizations of the Weierstrass formulae to generic surface immersed into $R^4$, $S^4$ and into multidimensional Riemann spaces are proposed. Integrable deformations of surfaces in these spaces via the modified Veselov-Novikov equation…

Weingarten surfaces are those whose principal curvatures satisfy a functional relation, whose set of solutions is called the curvature diagram or the W-diagram of the surface. Making use of the notion of geometric linear momentum of a plane…

The main result of the paper is a boundedness for $n$-complements on algebraic surfaces. In addition, applications of this theorem to a classification of log Del Pezzo surfaces and of birational contractions for 3-folds are formulated.

In this paper, we consider deformations of singular complex curves on complex surfaces. Despite the fundamental nature of the problem, little seems to be known for curves on general surfaces. Let $C\subset S$ be a complete integral curve on…
