We study the spatial isosceles three-body problem from the perspective of Symplectic Dynamics. For certain choices of mass ratio, angular momentum, and energy, the dynamics on the energy surface is equivalent to a Reeb flow on the tight…

In this paper, we study closed embedded minimal hypersurfaces in a Riemannian $(n+1)$-manifold ($2\le n\le 6$) that minimize area among such hypersurfaces. We show they exist and arise either by minimization techniques or by min-max…

We consider minimal surfaces $M$ which are complete, embedded and have finite total curvature in $\R^3$, and bounded, entire solutions with finite Morse index of the Allen-Cahn equation $\Delta u + f(u) = 0 \hbox{in} \R^3 $. Here $f=-W'$…

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…

We show that for the regular n-simplex, the 1-codimensional central slice that's parallel to a facet will achieve the minimum area (up to a 1-o(1) factor) among all 1-codimensional central slices, thus improving the previous best known…

We prove rigidity results involving the Hawking mass for surfaces immersed in a $3$-dimensional, complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with non-negative scalar curvature (resp. with scalar curvature bounded below by $-6$). Roughly, the main…

We show that for a very general class of curvature functions defined in the positive cone, the problem of finding a complete strictly locally convex hypersurface in $H^n+1$ satisfying $f(\kappa)=\sigma\in(0, 1)$ with a prescribed asymptotic…

Totally real surfaces in the nearly K\"ahler $\mathbb{C}P^3$ are investigated and are completely classified under various additional assumptions, resulting in multiple new examples. Among others, the classification includes totally real…

As a refinement of the Weinstein conjecture, it is a natural question whether a Reeb orbit of particular types exists. D. Cristofaro-Gardiner, M. Hutchings and D. Pomerleano showed that every nondegenerate closed contact three manifold with…

Minimal surfaces with uniform curvature (or area) bounds have been well understood and the regularity theory is complete, yet essentially nothing was known without such bounds. We discuss here the theory of embedded (i.e., without…

We study framed surfaces, which are a class of Euclidean minimal and hyperbolic CMC-1 surfaces that generalize immersed minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and Bryant surfaces. For this class we prove a lower bound on the (unrestricted)…

We investigate the Hilbert scheme of points on a smooth threefold. We introduce a notion of broken Gorenstein structure for finite schemes, and show that its existence guarantees smoothness on the Hilbert scheme. Moreover, we conjecture…

In this paper we study the common distance between points and the behavior of a constant length step discrete random walk on finite area hyperbolic surfaces. We show that if the second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian is at least 1/4,…

We establish the a priori estimates and prove a blow-up criterion for the three-dimensional free boundary incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamics equations. The fluid occupies a bounded region with a free boundary that is a closed…

Let $(\Sigma,p)$ be a pointed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 1$. For any integer $k\geq 1$, we parametrize the space of meromorphic quadratic differentials on $\Sigma$ with a pole of order $(k+2)$ at $p$, having a connected critical graph…

We prove that any sufficiently differentiable space-like hypersurface of ${\mathbb R}^{1+N} $ coincides locally around any of its points with the blow-up surface of a finite-energy solution of the focusing nonlinear wave equation…

We show that for any closed surface of genus greater than one and for any finite weighted graph filling the surface, there exists a hyperbolic metric which realizes the least Dirichlet energy harmonic embedding of the graph among a fixed…

This paper extends the decorated Teichm\"uller theory developed before for punctured surfaces to the setting of ``bordered'' surfaces, i.e., surfaces with boundary, and there is non-trivial new structure discovered. The main new result…

We study the geometry of standard graded Hilbert schemes of polynomial rings and exterior algebras. Our investigation is motivated by a famous theorem of Reeves and Stillman for the Grothendieck Hilbert scheme, which states that the…

Let X be a closed surface of genus two embedded in the 3-sphere. Then X inherits a metric and an orientation, which give an almost complex structure, which automatically integrates to a genuine complex structure, making X a Riemann surface.…
