We characterize the standard $\mathbb{S}^3$ as the closed Ricci-positive 3-manifold with scalar curvature at least 6 having isoperimetric surfaces of largest area: $4\pi$. As a corollary we answer in the affirmative an interesting special…

A special formula for the total mean curvature of an ovaloid is derived. This formula allows us to extend the notion of the mean curvature to the class of boundaries of strictly convex sets. Moreover, some integral formula for ovaloids is…

We consider a family of embedded, mean convex hypersurfaces in a Riemannian manifold which evolve by the mean curvature flow. We show that, given any number $T>0$ and any $\delta>0$, we can find a constant $C_0$ with the following property:…

We study planar curves defined by finite Fourier series of the form $F_n(t)=\sum_{p\le n} v_p(n!)\, e^{i p t}$, where the frequencies are the prime numbers and $v_p(n!)$ denotes the exponent of the prime $p$ in the factorization of $n!$. We…

Our aim is to study invariant hypersurfaces immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, whose mean curvature is given as a linear function in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ depending on its Gauss map. These hypersurfaces are closely…

We derive fundamental asymptotic results for the expected covering radius $\rho(X_N)$ for $N$ points that are randomly and independently distributed with respect to surface measure on a sphere as well as on a class of smooth manifolds. For…

In the present paper we carry out a systematic study about the flow of a spherical curve by the mean curvature flow with density in a 3-dimensional rotationally symmetric space with density $(M^3_w,\:g_w,\:\xi)$ where the density $\xi$…

The generalized Weierstrass representation is used to analyze the asymptotic behavior of a constant mean curvature surface that arises locally from an ordinary differential equation with a regular singularity. We prove that a holomorphic…

We extend the estimates for maximal Fourier restriction operators proved by M\"{u}ller, Ricci, and Wright in \cite{MR3960255} and Ramos in \cite{MR4055940} to the case of arbitrary convex curves in the plane, with constants uniform in the…

We examine the vertical component of surface area in the warped product of a Euclidean interval and a fiber manifold with product density. We determine general conditions under which vertical fibers minimize vertical surface area among…

We consider Fourier transforms of densities supported on curves in R^d. We obtain sharp lower and close to sharp upper bounds for the L^q decay rates.

The normal map given by Birkhoff orthogonality yields extensions of principal, Gaussian and mean curvatures to surfaces immersed in three-dimensional spaces whose geometry is given by an arbitrary norm and which are also called Minkowski…

Surface area and mean width of a cylinder (the convex hull of two parallel disks) in R^3 are computed. It is more difficult to obtain analogous results for a cone (the convex hull of a disk D and a point p). Oblique formulas for mean width,…

We present a comparative experimental study of planar curves arising from a Fourier series whose frequencies are the prime numbers, together with several randomized control models. Starting from the series $F_n(t)=\sum_{p\le n} v_p(n!)\,…

We consider a family of embedded, mean convex hypersurfaces which evolve by the mean curvature flow. It follows from general results of White that the inscribed radius at each point on the surface is at least $\frac{c}{H}$, where $c$ is a…

In this paper we show that a spherical convex body $C$ is of constant diameter $\tau$ if and only if $C$ is of constant width $\tau$, for $0<\tau<\pi$. Moreover, some applications to Wulff shapes are given.

Curvature is a fundamental geometric characteristic of smooth spaces. In recent years different notions of curvature have been developed for combinatorial discrete objects such as graphs. However, the connections between such discrete…
