Let $K$ be a smooth, origin-symmetric, strictly convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$. If for some $\ell\in GL(n,\mathbb{R})$, the anisotropic Riemannian metric $\frac{1}{2}D^2 \Vert\cdot\Vert_{\ell K}^2$, encapsulating the curvature of $\ell K$,…

We prove that any regular domain in Minkowski space is uniquely foliated by spacelike constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces. This completes the classification of entire spacelike CMC hypersurfaces in Minkowski space initiated by Choi…

In Euclidean space, the generalised Minkowski problem asks, for a given finite Radon measure $\mu$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^d$, to find a compact convex set $K$ with area measure $\mu$. For convex sets in the Minkowski space invariant…

The lightlike geometry of codimension two spacelike submanifolds in Lorentz-Minkowski space has been developed in [Izumiya, S. and Romero Fuster, M. C. Selecta Mathematica (NS), 13 23--55 (2007)] which is a natural Lorentzian analogue of…
