We desingularise the union of $3$ Grim paraboloids along Costa-Hoffman-Meeks surfaces in order to obtain complete embedded translating solitons of the mean curvature flow with $3$ ends and arbitrary finite genus.

We study global aspects of the mean curvature flow of non-separating hypersurfaces $S$ in closed manifolds. For instance, if $S$ has non-vanishing mean curvature, we show its level set flow converges smoothly towards an embedded minimal…

In this paper we shall establish that properly embedded constant mean curvature one surfaces in H^3 of finite topology are of finite total curvature and each end is regular. In particular, this implies the horosphere is the only simply…

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…

In this paper, we study the space of translational limits T(M) of a surface M properly embedded in R^3 with nonzero constant mean curvature and bounded second fundamental form. There is a natural map T which assigns to any surface M' in…

We prove there exists a compact embedded minimal surface in a complete finite volume hyperbolic $3$-manifold $\mathcal{N}$. We also obtain a least area, incompressible, properly embedded, finite topology, $2$-sided surface. We prove a…

Motivated by questions in detecting minimal surfaces in hyperbolic manifolds, we study the behavior of geometric flows in complete hyperbolic three-manifolds. In most cases the flows develop singularities in finite time. In this paper, we…

In this paper, we prove that any mean curvature flow translator $\Sigma^2 \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ with finite total curvature and one end must be a plane. We also prove that if the translator $\Sigma$ has multiple ends, they are asymptotic to…

We consider properly immersed finite topology minimal surfaces S in complete finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds N, and in M x S(1), where M is a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area. We prove S has finite total curvature equal to…

In this paper we will discuss how one may be able to use mean curvature flow to tackle some of the central problems in topology in 4-dimensions. We will be concerned with smooth closed 4-manifolds that can be smoothly embedded as a…

In this paper we prove that a complete, embedded minimal surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with finite topology and compact boundary (possibly empty) is conformally a compact Riemann surface $\overline{M}$ with boundary punctured in a finite…

In this article, we construct complete embedded constant mean curvature surfaces in $\mb{R}^3$ with freely prescribed genus and any number of ends greater than or equal to four. Heuristically, the surfaces are obtained by resolving finitely…

We construct a new example of an immortal mean curvature flow of smooth embedded connected surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$, which converges to a plane with multiplicity $2$ as time approaches infinity.

We consider constant mean curvature surfaces of finite topology, properly embedded in three-space in the sense of Alexandrov. Such surfaces with three ends and genus zero were constructed and completely classified by the authors in…

Embedded minimal surfaces of finite total curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ are reasonably well understood: From far away, they look like intersecting catenoids and planes, suitably desingularized. We consider the larger class of harmonic…

This article explains a program to study complete and properly embedded minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ developed jointly with W.H. Meeks and A. Ros in the last three decades. It follows closely the structure of my invited ICM talk with…

It is known that a complete immersed minimal surface with finite total curvature in $\mathbb H^2\times\mathbb R$ is proper, has finite topology and each one of its ends is asymptotic to a geodesic polygon at infinity (Hauswirth and…

We describe a construction of complete embedded self-translating surfaces under mean curvature flow by desingularizing the intersection of a finite family of grim reapers in general position.

We study the rigidity of complete, embedded constant mean curvature surfaces in R^3. Among other things, we prove that when such a surface has finite genus, then intrinsic isometries of the surface extend to isometries of R^3 or its…

In this paper we study the blow up sequence of mean curvature flow of surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$ with additional forces. We prove that the blow up limit of a mean curvature flow of smoothly embedded surfaces with additional forces with…
