We classify complete orientable hypersurfaces of constant isotropic curvature in space forms. We show that such a hypersurface has constant mean curvature only if it is an isoparametric hypersurface, and that it is minimal if and only if it…

We show how in many cases the algebraic number of immersed hyperspheres of constant (and prescribed) curvature may be related to the Euler Characteristic of the ambient space.

We propose a notion of stability for constant k-mean curvature hypersurfaces in a general Riemannian manifold and we give some applications. When the ambient manifold is a Space Form, our notion coincides with the known one, given by means…

Consider the energy $E_\alpha[\Sigma]=\int_\Sigma |p|^\alpha\, d\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is a surface in Euclidean space $\r^3$ and $\alpha\in\r$. We prove that planes and spheres are the only stationary surfaces for $E_\alpha$ with constant…

We survey different classification results for surfaces with parallel mean curvature immersed into some Riemannian homogeneous four-manifolds, including real and complex space forms, and product spaces. We provide a common framework for…

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian $3$-manifold with sectional curvatures between $0$ and $1$. A minimal $2$-sphere immersed in $M$ has area at least $4\pi$. If an embedded minimal sphere has area $4\pi$, then $M$ is isometric to the unit…
