Suppose $M$ is a complete, embedded minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with an infinite number of ends, finite genus and compact boundary. We prove that the simple limit ends of $M$ have properly embedded representatives with compact…

In a recent paper A. Fraser and R. Schoen have proved the existence of free boundary minimal surfaces $\Sigma\_n$ in $B^3$ which have genus $0$ and $n$ boundary components, for all $ n \geq 3$. For large $n$, we give an independent…

We develop a min-max theory for hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature in noncompact manifolds, applicable to prescription functions that do not change sign outside a compact set. We use this theory to prove new existence results for…

We improve the previously best known lower and upper bounds on the number n_g of numerical semigroups of genus g. Starting from a known recursive description of the tree T of numerical semigroups, we analyze some of its properties and use…

Strong parallels can be drawn between the theory of minimal hypersurfaces and the theory of phase transitions. Borrowing ideas from the former we extend recent results on the regularity of stable phase transition interfaces to the finite…

Using min-max theory, we show that in any closed Riemannian manifold of dimension at least 3 and at most 7, there exist infinitely many smoothly embedded closed minimal hypersurfaces. It proves a conjecture of S.-T. Yau. This paper builds…

We give bounds on the degree of generation and relations of section rings associated to arbitrary $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on projective spaces of all dimensions and Hirzebruch surfaces. For section rings of effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisors on…

We prove the existence of a genus-zero complete maximal map with a prescribed singularity set and an arbitrary number of simple and complete ends. We also discuss the conditions under which this maximal map can be made into a complete…

Given a Riemannian manifold and a closed submanifold, we find a geodesic segment with free boundary on the given submanifold. This is a corollary of the min-max theory which we develop in this article for the free boundary variational…

In genus two and higher, the fundamental group of a closed surface acts naturally on the curve complex of the surface with one puncture. Combining ideas from previous work of Kent--Leininger--Schleimer and Mitra, we construct a universal…

We give two new upper bounds on the covering minima of convex bodies, depending on covering minima of certain projections and intersections with linear subspaces. We show one bound to be sharp for direct sums of two convex bodies,…

We present two constructions, both inspired by ideas from graph theory, of sequences random surfaces of growing area, whose systoles grow logarithmically as a function of their area. This also allows us to prove a new lower bound on the…

We show that a Kleinian surface group, or hyperbolic 3-manifold with a cusp-preserving homotopy-equivalence to a surface, has bounded geometry if and only if there is an upper bound on an associated collection of coefficients that depend…

Given any $n \geq 2$, we show that if $\Omega \subsetneq \mathbb{R}^n$ is an open convex domain (e.g. a half-space), and $u : \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ is a solution to the minimal surface equation which agrees with a linear function on…

In Guaraco's 2018 work a new proof was given of the existence of a closed minimal hypersurface in a compact Riemannian manifold $N^{n+1}$ with $n\geq 2$. This was achieved by employing an Allen--Cahn approximation scheme and a one-parameter…

Based on works by Hopf, Weinberger, Hamilton and Evans, we state and prove the strong elliptic maximum principle for smooth sections in vector bundles over Riemannian manifolds and give some applications in Differential Geometry. Moreover,…

We perform a replacement procedure in order to produce a free boundary minimal surface whose area achieves the min-max value over all disk sweepouts of a manifold whose boundary lie in a submanifold. Our result is based on a proof of the…

We obtain an improved lower bound for the regularity of the binomial edge ideals of trees. We prove an upper bound for the regularity of the binomial edge ideals of certain subclass of block-graphs. As a consequence we obtain sharp upper…

In this paper, we demonstrate a relation among Seiberg-Witten invariants which arises from embedded surfaces in four-manifolds whose self-intersection number is negative. These relations, together with Taubes' basic theorems on the…

We prove a new lower bound for the dilatation of an arbitrary pseudo-Anosov map on a surface of genus g with n punctures. Our bound improves the former super-exponential dependence on the genus by a polynomial dependence.
