We give a complete classification of umbilical surfaces of arbitrary codimension of a product $Q^{n_1}_{k_1}\times Q^{n_2}_{k_2}$ of space forms whose curvatures satisfy $k_1 + k_2 \not= 0$.
In this paper we introduce the notion of contact angle. We deduce formulas for Laplacian and Gaussian curvature of a minimal surface in $S^{2n+1}$ and give a characterization of the generalized Clifford Torus as the only non-legendrian…
We classify rotational surfaces in the three-dimensional Euclidean space whose Gaussian curvature $K$ satisfies \begin{equation*} K\Delta K - \|\nabla K\|^2-4K^3 = 0. \end{equation*} These surfaces are referred to as rotational Ricci…
Given a polyhedral surface, assume that it is prohibited to change the shape and size of any face but it is permissible to change the dihedral angles between the faces. A polyhedral surface is said to be flexible if it is possible to change…
We consider the space of embeddings of finitely many circles that bound disks in non-positively curved surfaces. We index the connected components of this space with finite rooted trees and show that the connected components are classifying…
This paper develops new tools for understanding surfaces with more than one end (and usually, of infinite topology) which properly minimally embed into Euclidean three-space. On such a surface, the set of ends forms a compact Hausdorff…
We construct non-flat minimal capillary cones with bi-orthogonal symmetry groups for any dimension and contact angle. These cones interpolate between rescalings of a singular solution to the one-phase problem and the free-boundary cone…
This is an investigation into a classification of embeddings of a surface in Euclidean $3$-space. Specifically, we consider $\mathbb{R}^3$ as having the product structure $\mathbb{R}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ and let $\pi:\mathbb{R}^2 \times…
In this paper, we study stability problem of anisotropic capillary hypersurfaces in an Euclidean half-space. We prove that any compact immersed anisotropic capillary constant anisotropic mean curvature hypersurface in the half-space is…
We prove that a surface in Euclidean $3$-space has Maslovian normal bundle if and only if it is a part of a round sphere, a circular cylinder, or a circular cone.
In a compact orbifold, for small prescribed volume, an isoperimetric region is close to a small metric ball; in a Euclidean orbifold, it is a small metric ball.
Variational analysis presents a unified theory encompassing in particular both smoothness and convexity. In a Euclidean space, convex sets and smooth manifolds both have straightforward local geometry. However, in the most basic hybrid case…
See http://youtu.be/Mf4IE8gWcJs for a YouTube video showing part of the results in this paper. We consider helicoidal immersions in the Euclidean space whose axis of symmetry is the z-axis that are solutions of the equation 2 H=\Lambda_0-a…
The shape of crystalline nanoparticles (NP) can often be described by polyhedra with flat facet surfaces. Thus, structural studies of polyhedral bodies can help to describe geometric details of NPs. Here we consider compact polyhedra of…
This paper gives, in generic situations, a complete classification of ruled minimal surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean space with arbitrary index. In addition, we discuss the condition for ruled minimal surfaces to exist, and give a…
Wintgen ideal surfaces in E^4 form an important family of surfaces, namely surfaces with circular ellipse of curvature. Obviously, Wintgen ideal surfaces satisfy the pointwise equality K+K_N=H^2. In the present study we consider the Wintgen…
We enlarge the class of open Riemann surfaces known to be holomorphically embeddable into the plane by allowing them to have additional isolated punctures compared to the known embedding results.
We prove that under some assumptions on the mean curvature the set of umbilical points of an immersed surface in a $3$-dimensional space form has positive measure. In case of an immersed sphere our result can be seen as a generalization of…
We discuss the equilibrium condition for a liquid that partially wets a solid on the level of intermolecular forces. Using a mean field continuum description, we generalize the capillary pressure from variation of the free energy and show…
In this paper, we first introduce the quermassintegrals for convex hypersurfaces with capillary boundary in the unit Euclidean ball $\mathbb{B}^{n+1}$ and derive its first variational formula. Then by using a locally constrained nonlinear…
