Existence of convex body with prescribed generalized curvature measures is discussed, this result is obtained by making use of Guan-Li-Li's innovative techniques. In surprise, that methods has also brought us to promote Ivochkina's $C^2$…

We establish the global $C^2$-estimates for the modified $\sigma_2$ curvature equation with prescribed boundary mean curvature, and particularly, the local boundary $C^2$ estimates on three-manifolds.

Among all metrics on $\mathbb S^d$ with $d>4$ that are conformal to the standard metric and have positive scalar curvature, the total $\sigma_2$-curvature, normalized by the volume, is uniquely (up to M\"obius transformations) minimized by…

We establish a curvature estimate for classical minimal surfaces with total boundary curvature less than 4\pi. The main application is a bound on the genus of these surfaces depending solely on the geometry of the boundary curve. We also…

For any positive integer $g$, we completely determine the minimal genus function for $\Sigma_{g}\times T^{2}$. We show that the lower bound given by the adjunction inequality is not sharp for some class in $H_{2}(\Sigma_{g}\times T^{2})$.…

We study a prescribed mean curvature problem where we seek a surface whose mean curvature vector coincides with the normal component of a given vector field. We prove that the problem has a solution near a graphical minimal surface if the…

It is proved that for class $A_\gamma=\{q\in L_1[0,1]: q\geq 0, \int_0^1 q^\gamma\,dx=1\}$, where $\gamma\in (0,1)$, there exists a potential $q_*\in A_\gamma$ such that minimal eigenvalue $\lambda_1(q_*)$ of boundary problem $$…

In this work we are interested in studying deformations of the $\sigma_2$-curvature and the volume. For closed manifolds, we relate critical points of the total $\sigma_2$-curvature functional to the $\sigma_2$-Einstein metrics and, as a…

In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet problem for a class of prescribed Hessian quotient type curvature equations with homogeneous boundary data in Minkowski space. By establishing the a priori C2 estimates, we obtain the existence…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. We first prove a weighted Sobolev inequality and part of a weighted Morrey's inequality, where the weights are a power of the mean curvature of the level sets of the function appearing in the…

We assign a measure to an upper semicontinuous function which is subharmonic with respect to the mean curvature operator, so that it agrees with the mean curvature of its graph when the function is smooth. We prove that the measure is…

In this paper we are dealing with two classes of mean curvature type problems that generalize the translating soliton problem. A first result proves that the solutions to these problems have unique interior critical points. Using this…

In this article we study a class of prescribed curvature problems on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds. To be precise, we derive local $C^0$-estimate under an asymptotic condition which is in effect optimal, and prove the existence…

We derive new, sharp lower bounds for certain curvature functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics of a smooth compact 4-manifold with a non-trivial Seiberg-Witten invariant. These allow one, for example, to exactly compute the infimum…
