We assign a measure to an upper semicontinuous function which is subharmonic with respect to the mean curvature operator, so that it agrees with the mean curvature of its graph when the function is smooth. We prove that the measure is…

By refining the volume estimate of Heintze and Karcher \cite{HK}, we obtain a sharp pinching estimate for the genus of a surface in $\mathbb S^{3}$, which involves an integral of the norm of its traceless second fundamental form. More…

In [5], a rigidity result was obtained for outermost marginally outer trapped surfaces (MOTSs) that do not admit metrics of positive scalar curvature. This allowed one to treat the "borderline case" in the author's work with R. Schoen…

We prove that the supremum of principal curvatures of a minimal embedded disc in hyperbolic three-space spanning a quasicircle in the boundary at infinity is estimated in a sublinear way by the norm of the quasicircle in the sense of…

We study the classification of immersed constant mean curvature (CMC) spheres in the homogeneous Riemannian 3-manifold Sol_3, i.e., the only Thurston 3-dimensional geometry where this problem remains open. Our main result states that, for…

An integral geometric curvature is defined as the index expectation K(x) = E[i(x)] if a probability measure m is given on vector fields on a Riemannian manifold or on a finite simple graph. Such curvatures are local, satisfy Gauss-Bonnet…

Observations show evidence that a significant fraction of protoplanetary disks contain warps. A warp in a disk evolves in time affecting the appearance of shadows and greatly influencing kinematic signatures. So far, many theoretical…

The planar embedding conjecture asserts that any planar metric admits an embedding into L_1 with constant distortion. This is a well-known open problem with important algorithmic implications, and has received a lot of attention over the…

We give sharp sectional curvature estimates for complete immersed cylindrically bounded $m$-submanifolds $\phi:M\to N\times\mathbb{R}^{\ell}$, $n+\ell\leq 2m-1$ provided that either $\phi$ is proper with the second fundamental form with…

In this paper, we study the Calabi-Yau conjectures for complete minimal hypersurfaces $\Sigma^{n}\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ in dimensions $n\ge 3$. These conjectures ask whether a complete minimal hypersurface must be unbounded, and more…

A complete surface of constant mean curvature 1 (CMC-1) in hyperbolic 3-space with constant curvature -1 has two natural notions of "total curvature"-- one is the total absolute curvature which is the integral over the surface of the…
