We investigate the complexity of finding an embedded non-orientable surface of Euler genus $g$ in a triangulated $3$-manifold. This problem occurs both as a natural question in low-dimensional topology, and as a first non-trivial instance…

We study the existence of incompressible embeddings of surfaces into the genus two handlebody. We show that for every compact surface with boundary, orientable or not, there is an incompressible embedding of the surface into the genus two…

A scheme is discussed for embedding n-dimensional, Riemannian manifolds in an (n+1)-dimensional Einstein space. Criteria for embedding a given manifold in a spacetime that represents a solution to Einstein's equations sourced by a massless…

General rotational surfaces as a source of examples of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space have been introduced by C. Moore. In this paper we consider the analogue of these surfaces in the Minkowski 4-space. On the base of our…

Nontrivial infinitesimal bendings for a class of two-dimensional surfaces are constructed. The surfaces considered here are orientable; compact; with boundary; have positive curvature everywhere except at finitely many planar points; and…

The aim of this paper is to investigate the differential geometry of immersed surfaces in three-dimensional normed spaces from the viewpoint of affine differential geometry. We endow the surface with a useful Riemannian metric which is…

We apply the invariant theory of surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space to the class of general rotational surfaces with meridians lying in two-dimensional planes. We find all minimal super-conformal surfaces of this class.

We present an elementary introduction to the construction of integrable models on hyper-elliptic surfaces for non specialists; also, we present some of the details of the paper `solv-int/9504002' for the more interested readers. (Based on a…

This is a survey of the twistor lifts of surfaces in $4$-dimensional spaces. In most part of this survey, the space is Euclidean $4$-space $E^4$. The definitions of the Gauss maps and the twistor lifts of surfaces in $E^4$ are given by…

We study trisections of smooth, compact non-orientable 4-manifolds, and introduce trisections of non-orientable 4-manifolds with boundary. In particular, we prove a non-orientable analogue of a classical theorem of Laudenbach-Po\'enaru. As…

In this paper, we introduce a method, called a plat form, of describing a surface-link in the 4-space using a braided surface. We prove that every surface-link, which is not necessarily orientable, can be described in a plat form. The plat…

This paper studies the regularity of constrained Willmore immersions into $\R^{m\ge3}$ locally around both "regular" points and around branch points, where the immersive nature of the map degenerates. We develop local asymptotic expansions…

A local description of the non-flat infinitesimally bendable Euclidean hypersurfaces was recently given by Dajczer and Vlachos \cite{DaVl}. From their classification, it follows that there is an abundance of infinitesimally bendable…

A representation of generalized Weierstrass formulae for an immersion of generic surfaces into a 4-dimensional complex space in terms of spinors treated as minimal left ideals of Clifford algebras is proposed. The relation between…

Techniques for constructing codimension 2 embeddings and immersions of the 2 and 3-fold branched covers of the 3 and 4-dimensional spheres are presented. These covers are in braided form, and it is in this sense that they are folded. More…

For surfaces without boundary, nonlocal notions of directional and mean curvatures have been recently given. Here, we develop alternative notions, special cases of which apply to surfaces with boundary. Our main tool is a new fractional or…

A longstanding avenue of research in orientable surface topology is to create and enumerate collections of curves in surfaces with certain intersection properties. We look for similar collections of curves in non-orientable surfaces. A…

For any H in [0,1), we construct complete, non-proper, stable, simply-connected surfaces with constant mean curvature H embedded in hyperbolic 3-space.

We give a spinorial characterization of isometrically immersed hypersurfaces into 4-dimensional space forms and product spaces $\M^3(\kappa)\times\R$, in terms of the existence of particular spinor fields, called generalized Killing spinors…

In this paper we study geodesic mappings of $n$-dimensional surfaces of revolution. From the general theory of geodesic mappings of equidistant spaces we specialize to surfaces of revolution and apply the obtained formulas to the case of…
