The object of study of this article is compact surfaces in the three-dimensional hyperbolic space with a positive-definite second fundamental form. It is shown that several conditions on the Gaussian curvature of the second fundamental form…
The curvature potential arising from confining a particle initially in three-dimensional space onto a curved surface is normally derived in the hard constraint $q \to 0$ limit, with $q$ the degree of freedom normal to the surface. In this…
We characterize all compact embedded stable minimal capillary surfaces with capillary angle close to either $0$ or $\pi$ that are supported on a complete embedded minimal surface with finite total curvature that is not an affine plane.…
The principles behind the sharp, singular structures in a crumpled sheet are well understood. Here we discuss more general ways of exploiting such sharp structures to control the shape of a sheet by deforming or forcing it elsewhere. Often,…
We consider ruled surfaces with finite multiplicity. We study behaviors of the striction curves and the singularities of the ruled surfaces. We also give geometric meanings of invariants related to the ruled surfaces.
Induced by proteins within the cell membrane or by differential growth, heating, or swelling, spontaneous curvatures can drastically affect the morphology of thin bodies and induce mechanical instabilities. Yet, the interaction of…
We show that, in discrete models of quantum gravity, emergent geometric space can be viewed as the entanglement pattern in a mixed quantum state of the "universe", characterized by a universal topological network entanglement. As a concrete…
We propose a computation of curvature of arbitrary two-dimensional surfaces of three-dimensional objects, which is a contribution to discrete gravity with potential applications in network geometry. We begin by linking each point of the…
Surface roughness emerges naturally during mechanical removal of material, fracture, chemical deposition, plastic deformation, indentation, and other processes. Here, we use continuum simulations to show how roughness which is neither…
We consider the situation when a globally defined four-dimensional field system is separated on two entangled sub-systems by a dynamical (random) two-dimensional surface. The reduced density matrix averaged over ensemble of random surfaces…
In this paper, we give a definition of weak stability condition on a triangulated category. The difference between our definition and existing definitions is that we allow objects in the kernel to have non-maximal phases. We then construct…
We prove that oriented and standard shadowing properties are equivalent for topological flows on closed surfaces with the nonwandering set consisting of the finite number of critical elements (i.e., singularities or closed orbits).…
We define two transforms between minimal surfaces with non-circular ellipse of curvature in the 5-sphere, and show how this enables us to construct, from one such surface, a sequence of such surfaces. We also use the transforms to show how…
We classify smooth surfaces whose higher cohomologies of i-forms for all i vanish. We show that if such a surface is not affine, then it has essentially two possibilities.
We present a few general results on foliations of 4-manifolds by surfaces: existence, tautness, relations to minimal genus of embedded surfaces; as well as some open problems. We hope to stimulate interest in this area.
We develop a new boundary condition for the weak inverse mean curvature flow, which gives canonical and non-trivial solutions in bounded domains. Roughly speaking, the boundary of the domain serves as an outer obstacle, and the evolving…
Many systems in nature and the synthetic world involve ordered arrangements of units on two-dimensional surfaces. We review here the fundamental role payed by both the topology of the underlying surface and its detailed curvature. Topology…
In this paper we prove that an embedded and simply connected constant mean curvature surface with curvature large at a point contains a multi-valued graph around that point on the scale of $|A|^2$, where $|A|^2$ is the norm squared of the…
The Bounded Negativity Conjecture predicts that for any smooth complex surface $X$ there exists a lower bound for the selfintersection of reduced divisors on $X$. This conjecture is open. It is also not known if the existence of such a…
We associate to triangulations of infinite type surface a type of flip graph where simultaneous flips are allowed. Our main focus is on understanding exactly when two triangulations can be related by a sequence of flips. A consequence of…
