There are examples of complete spacelike surfaces in the Lorentzian product $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}_1$ with constant Gaussian curvature $K\leq -1$. In this paper, we show that there exists no complete spacelike surface in…

We consider hypersurfaces of products $M\times\mathbb R$ with constant $r$-th mean curvature $H_r\ge 0$ (to be called $H_r$-hypersurfaces), where $M$ is an arbitrary Riemannian $n$-manifold. We develop a general method for constructing…

We prove that a totally umbilical biharmonic surface in any $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold has constant mean curvature. We use this to show that a totally umbilical surface in Thurston's 3-dimensional geometries is proper biharmonic if…

We prove a half-space theorem for an ideal Scherk graph $\Sigma\subset M\times\mathbb R$ over a polygonal domain $D\subset M,$ where $M$ is a Hadamard surface whose curvature is bounded above by a negative constant. More precisely, we show…

We examine the space of surfaces in $\RR^{3}$ which are complete, properly embedded and have nonzero constant mean curvature. These surfaces are noncompact provided we exclude the case of the round sphere. We prove that the space $\Mk$ of…

Let $M^n$ be a biharmonic hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in a space form $\mathbb M^{n+1}(c)$. We show that $M^n$ has constant mean curvature if $c>0$ and $M^n$ is minimal if $c\leq0$, provided that the number of distinct…

This paper gives a new characterization of geodesic spheres in the hyperbolic space in terms of a ``weighted'' higher order mean curvature. Precisely, we show that a compact hypersurface $\Sigma^{n-1}$ embedded in $\H^n$ with $VH_k$ being…

The $c$-curvature of a complete surface with Gauss curvature close to 1 in $C^2$ norm is almost-positive (in the sense of Kim--McCann). Our proof goes by a careful case by case analysis combined with perturbation arguments from the constant…

In this paper, we study four dimensional hypersurface M^4_r with proper mean curvature vector field (i.e. \Delta\vec{H} is proportional to \vec{H}) in pseudo-Riemannian space form N^5_s(c), and show that it has constant mean curvature, and…

We classify all surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature $K$ in Euclidean $3$-space that can be expressed as an implicit equation of type $f(x)+g(y)+h(z)=0$, where $f$, $g$ and $h$ are real functions of one variable. If $K=0$, we prove…
