Locally stable minimal hypersurface could have singularities in dimension $\geq 7$ in general, locally modeled on stable and area-minimizing cones in the Euclidean spaces. In this paper, we present different aspects of how these…
We extend the well-known Denjoy-Ahlfors theorem on the number of different asymptotic tracts of holomorphic functions to subharmonic functions on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds. We obtain some new versions of the Liouville theorem for…
We develop an analytic theory of existence and regularity of surfaces (given by graphs) arising from the geometric minimization problem $$\min_{\mathcal{M}}\frac{1}{2}\int_{\mathcal{M}}|\nabla_{\mathcal{M}}H|^2\,dA$$ where $\mathcal{M}$…
Suppose that $N$ is a smooth manifold with a smooth Riemannian metric $g_0$, and that $\Gamma$ is a smooth submanifold of $N$. This paper proves that for a generic (in the sense of Baire category) smooth metric $g$ conformal to $g_0$, if…
We exhibit the first set of examples of non-bumpy metrics on the $(n+1)$-sphere ($2\leq n\leq 6$) in which the varifold associated with the two-parameter min-max construction must be a multiplicity-two minimal $n$-sphere. This is proved by…
Let $ \Omega \subsetneq \mathbf{R}^n\,(n\geq 2)$ be an unbounded convex domain. We study the minimal surface equation in $\Omega$ with boundary value given by the sum of a linear function and a bounded uniformly continuous function in $…
We prove the local minimality of halfspaces in Carnot groups for a class of nonlocal functionals usually addressed as nonlocal perimeters. Moreover, in a class of Carnot groups in which the De Giorgi's rectifiability Theorem holds, we…
A surface M is called p-minimal if one of the coordinate functions is p-harmonic in the inner metric. We show that in the twodimensional case the Gaussian map of such surfaces is quasiconformal. In the case when the surface is a tube we…
We study the Plateau problem with a lower dimensional obstacle in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Intuitively, in $\mathbb{R}^3$ this corresponds to a soap film (spanning a given contour) that is pushed from below by a "vertical" 2D half-space (or some…
We introduce canonical principal parameters on any strongly regular minimal surface in the three dimensional sphere and prove that any such a surface is determined up to a motion by its normal curvature function satisfying the Sinh-Poisson…
In this paper, we consider minimal hypersurfaces in the product space $\mathbb{H}^n \times \mathbb{R}$. We begin by studying examples of rotation hypersurfaces and hypersurfaces invariant under hyperbolic translations. We then consider…
Given a sequence of properly embedded minimal surfaces in a $3$-manifold with local bounds on area and genus, we prove subsequential convergence, smooth away from a discrete set, to a smooth embedded limit surface, possibly with…
We prove that a minimal disc in a CAT(0) space is a local embedding away from a finite set of "branch points". On the way we establish several basic properties of minimal surfaces: monotonicity of area densities, density bounds, limit…
The systoles of a hyperbolic surface {\Sigma} are the shortest closed geodesics. We say that the systoles fill the surface if the set Syst({\Sigma}) of all systoles cuts {\Sigma} into polygons. We refine an idea of Schmutz [15] to construct…
Let $\mathcal{G} = \{G_1 = (V, E_1), \dots, G_m = (V, E_m)\}$ be a collection of $m$ graphs defined on a common set of vertices $V$ but with different edge sets $E_1, \dots, E_m$. Informally, a function $f :V \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is…
On the two-sphere $\Sigma$, we consider the problem of minimising among suitable immersions $f \,\colon \Sigma \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ the weighted $L^\infty$ norm of the mean curvature $H$, with weighting given by a prescribed ambient…
In this paper we consider three dimensional upper half space $\mathbb{H}^3 $ equipped with various Kropina metrics obtained by deformation of hyperbolic metric of $\mathbb{H}^3$ through $1$-forms and obtain a partial differential equation…
The popular BFGS quasi-Newton minimization algorithm under reasonable conditions converges globally on smooth convex functions. This result was proved by Powell in 1976: we consider its implications for functions that are not smooth. In…
Minimal surfaces are among the most natural objects in Differential Geometry, and have been studied for the past 250 years ever since the pioneering work of Lagrange. The subject is characterized by a profound beauty, but perhaps even more…
Motivated by problems on apparent horizons in general relativity, we prove the following theorem on minimal surfaces: Let $g$ be a metric on the three-sphere $S^3$ satisfying $Ric(g) \geq 2 g$. If the volume of $(S^3, g)$ is no less than…
