We prove that the isometric embedding of any metric of differentiability class C1 in E3 exists. We use simplified notation for the given metric, namely geodesic parameters, and level parameters for the embedded surface in E3. Central to our…
We prove a relative isoperimetric inequality in the plane, when the perimeter is defined with respect to a convex, positively homogeneous function of degree one, and characterize the minimizers.
For an integral $2$-varifold $V\subset \mathbb{S}^3$ with square-integrable mean curvature, unit density, and support of genus at least $1$, assume that its Willmore energy satisfies \[ \mathcal{W}(V)\le 2\pi^2+\delta^2,\qquad…
The focal sets of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres with g = 4 are all Willmore submanifolds, being minimal but mostly non-Einstein ([TY1], [QTY]). Inspired by A.Gray's view, the present paper shows that, these focal sets are all A-…
Totally isotropic surfaces in $S^6$ are not necessarily Willmore surfaces. Therefore it is the first goal of this paper to derive a geometric characterization of totally isotropic Willmore two-spheres in $S^6$. This will naturally yield to…

In this work we consider a question in the calculus of variations motivated by riemannian geometry, the isoperimetric problem. We show that solutions to the isoperimetric problem, close in the flat norm to a smooth submanifold, are…
The Willmore Problem seeks the surface in $\mathbb S^3\subset\mathbb R^4$ of a given topological type minimizing the squared-mean-curvature energy $W = \int |\mathbf{H}_{\mathbb{R}^4}|^2 = \operatorname{area} + \int H_{\mathbb{S}^3}^2$. The…
We investigate the quasisymmetric uniformization of a special class of metric surfaces known as paper surfaces, constructed as quotients of planar multipolygons via segment pairings, including infinite Type W identifications. These spaces,…
We show, that higher analogs of the Willmore functional, defined on the space of immersions M^2\rightarrow R^3, where M^2 is a two-dimensional torus, R^3 is the 3-dimensional Euclidean space are invariant under conformal transformations of…
Isoperimetric regions minimize the size of their boundaries among all regions with the same volume. In Euclidean and Hyperbolic space, isoperimetric regions are round balls. We show that isoperimetric regions in two and three-dimensional…

We show that Lawson's bipolar surface $\tilde\tau_{3,1}$ is after stereographic projection the unique minimizer among immersed Klein bottles in its conformal class. We conjecture that it actually is the unique minimizer among immersed Klein…
