In the late 1990s, B. Y. Chen introduced the notion of special slant surfaces in K\"{a}hler surfaces and classified non-minimal proper special slant surfaces with constant mean curvature in $2$-dimensional complex space forms. In this…

In this article we classify totally geodesic submanifolds in arbitrary products of rank one symmetric spaces. Furthermore, we give infinitely many examples of irreducible totally geodesic submanifolds in Hermitian symmetric spaces with…

A surface $\Sigma$ in a 4-manifold $M$ is called flexible if any mapping class of the surface arises as the restriction of a diffeomorphism $(M,\Sigma) \to (M,\Sigma)$. We construct flexible surfaces in $\mathbb{C}P^2$ and $S^2 \times S^2$…

Second-order symmetric Lorentzian spaces, that is to say, Lorentzian manifolds with vanishing second derivative of the curvature tensor R, are characterized by several geometric properties, and explicitly presented. Locally, they are a…

We show that the surface area preserving mean curvature flow in Euclidean space exists for all time and converges exponentially to a round sphere, if initially the L^2-norm of the traceless second fundamental form is small (but the initial…

We consider surfaces of class $C^1$ in the $3$-dimensional sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group ${\mathbb H}^1$. Assuming the surface is area-stationary, i.e., a critical point of the sub-Riemannian perimeter under compactly supported…

Static equilibrium configurations of continua supported by surface tension are given by constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces which are critical points of a variational problem to extremize the area while keeping the volume fixed. CMC…

A gap in the proof prevents us to show that surfaces with constant mean curvature closed to 1/2 in H2 X R and having boundary with curvature greater than one, contained in a horizontal section P of H2 X R are topological disks, provided…

We classify degenerate singular points of $\C^2$-actions on complex surfaces.

The present paper deals with a study of curves on a smooth surface whose position vector always lies in the tangent plane of the surface and it is proved that such curves remain invariant under isometry of surfaces. It is also shown that…

From a spray space $S$ on a manifold $M$ we construct a new geometric space $P$ of larger dimension with the following properties: 1. Geodesics in $P$ are in one-to-one correspondence with parallel Jacobi fields of $M$. 2. $P$ is complete…

Given a constant vector field $Z$ in Minkowski space, a timelike surface is said to have a canonical null direction with respect to $Z$ if the projection of $Z$ on the tangent space of the surface gives a lightlike vector field. In this…

We obtain the most general spherically symmetric M2-branes and type IIB strings, with \R^{1,2}\times SO(8) and \R^{1,1}\times SO(8) isometries respectively. We find that there are twelve different classes of M2-branes, and we study their…

We find sharp absolute constants $C_1$ and $C_2$ with the following property: every well-rounded lattice of rank 3 in a Euclidean space has a minimal basis so that the solid angle spanned by these basis vectors lies in the interval…

A surface S in R^3 has the central plane oval property (cpo) if (i) S meets at least one affine plane transversally along a strictly convex oval, and (ii) Every such transverse oval on S has central symmetry. We show that a complete,…

This paper deals with iteration stable (STIT) tessellations, and, more generally, with a certain class of tessellations that are infinitely divisible with respect to iteration. They form a new, rich and flexible class of spatio-temporal…
