We study foliations of space forms by complete hypersurfaces, under some mild conditions on its higher order mean curvatures. In particular, in Euclidean space we obtain a Bernstein-type theorem for graphs whose mean and scalar curvature do…

In this paper we prove two theorems. The first one is a structure result that describes the extrinsic geometry of an embedded surface with constant mean curvature (possibly zero) in a homogeneously regular Riemannian three-manifold, in any…
We investigate the matter density perturbation $\delta_m$ and power spectrum $P(k)$ in the running vacuum model (RVM) with the cosmological constant being a function of the Hubble parameter, given by $\Lambda = \Lambda_0 + 6 \sigma H H_0+…
We prove that hypersurfaces of $\R^{n+1}$ which are almost extremal for the Reilly inequality on $\lambda_1$ and have $L^p$-bounded mean curvature ($p>n$) are Hausdorff close to a sphere, have almost constant mean curvature and have a…
E. Calabi and J. Cao showed that a closed geodesic of least length in a two-sphere with nonnegative curvature is always simple. Using min-max theory, we prove that for some higher dimensions, this result holds without assumptions on the…
Let $(M,Q)$ be a compact, three dimensional manifold of strictly negative sectional curvature. Let $(\Sigma,P)$ be a compact, orientable surface of hyperbolic type (i.e. of genus at least two). Let $\theta:\pi_1(\Sigma,P)\to\pi_1(M,Q)$ be a…
We prove that entire solutions of the minimal hypersurface equation \[ \mathrm{div}\left(\frac{Du}{\sqrt{1+|Du|^2}}\right) = 0 \] on a complete manifold with $\mathrm{Ric} \ge 0$, whose negative part grows like $\mathcal{O}(r/\log r)$ ($r$…
The main point of this paper is that, under suitable conditions on the mean curvature and the Ricci curvature of the ambient space, we can extend Choi-Schoen's Compactness Theorem to compact embedded minimal surfaces to simple immersed…
Let $M^n$ be a closed Riemannian manifold on which the integral of the scalar curvature is nonnegative. Suppose $\mathfrak{a}$ is a symmetric $(0,2)$ tensor field whose dual $(1,1)$ tensor $\mathcal{A}$ has $n$ distinct eigenvalues, and…
Let $M$ be a compact $n$-manifold of $\operatorname{Ric}_M\ge (n-1)H$ ($H$ is a constant). We are concerned with the following space form rigidity: $M$ is isometric to a space form of constant curvature $H$ under either of the following…
Let $\Omega$ be a open bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n $ with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$. We consider the equation $ \Delta u + u^{\frac{n-k+2}{n-k-2}-\varepsilon} =0\,\hbox{ in }\,\Omega $, under zero Dirichlet boundary condition,…
We prove a Clarkson-Erd\"os-Schwartz type theorem for the case of a closed sector in the plane. Concretely, we get some sufficient conditions for the incompleteness and minimality of a M\"untz system $E(\Lambda)={z^{\lambda_n}:n=0,1,...}$…
In this paper we prove general criticality criteria for operators $\Delta + V$ on manifolds with more than one end, where $V$ bounds the Ricci curvature, and a related spectral splitting theorem extending Cheeger-Gromoll's one. Our results…
A theorem of Matou\v{s}ek asserts that for any $k \ge 2$, any set system whose shatter function is $o(n^k)$ enjoys a fractional Helly theorem of order $k$: in the $k$-wise intersection hypergraph, positive density implies a linear-size…
In this paper we generalize the main result of [4] for manifolds that are not necessarily Einstein. In fact, we obtain an upper bound for the volume of a locally volume-minimizing closed hypersurface $\Sigma$ of a Riemannian 5-manifold $M$…
