Defined mathematically as critical points of surface area subject to a volume constraint, constant mean curvatures (CMC) surfaces are idealizations of interfaces occurring between two immiscible fluids. Their behavior elucidates phenomena…
We study surfaces evolving by mean curvature flow (MCF). For an open set of initial data that are $C^3$-close to round, but without assuming rotational symmetry or positive mean curvature, we show that MCF solutions become singular in…
This is a survey on the global theory of constant mean curvature surfaces in Riemannian homogeneous 3-manifolds. These ambient 3-manifolds include the eight canonical Thurston 3-dimensional geometries, i.e. R3, H3, S3, H2 \times R, S2…
We study singularities of surfaces which are given by Kenmotsu-type formula with prescribed unbounded mean curvature.
We prove that finite area isolated singularities of surfaces with constant positive curvature in R^3 are removable singularities, branch points or immersed conical singularities. We describe the space of immersed conical singularities of…
CMC (constant mean curvature) Cauchy surfaces play an important role in mathematical relativity as finding solutions to the vacuum Einstein constraint equations is made much simpler by assuming CMC initial data. However, in [2] Bartnik…

We construct a new class of complete constant mean curvature surfaces in R^3. These are geometrically different than the surfaces constructed by Kapouleas' gluing technique. These are obtained by piecing together half-Delaunay surfaces to…
We introduce a class of zero mean curvature surfaces with singularities in the isotropic 3-space, called ZMC-faces. As a main result, we establish three Osserman-type inequalities for a ZMC-face under certain assumptions on both…
