We study in a uniform manner the properties of biconservative surfaces in arbitrary Riemannian manifolds. Biconservative surfaces being characterized by the vanishing of the divergence of a symmetric tensor field $S_2$ of type $(1,1)$,…
Biconservative surfaces of Riemannian 3-space forms $N^3(\rho)$, are either constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces or rotational linear Weingarten surfaces verifying the relation $3\kappa_1+\kappa_2=0$ between their principal curvatures…
On a finite-volume hyperbolic $3$-manifold, we establish an upper bound on the area of closed embedded surfaces with constant mean curvature at least one, depending on the mean curvature and the genus bounds. This area bound implies…
We present new constructions of Kaehler metrics with constant scalar curvature on complex surfaces, in particular on certain del Pezzo surfaces. Some higher dimensional examples are provided as well.
It is known that complex constant mean curvature ({\sc CMC} for short) immersions in $\mathbb C^3$ are natural complexifications of {\sc CMC}-immersions in $\mathbb R^3$. In this paper, conversely we consider {\it real form surfaces} of a…
A unifying definition of trapped submanifold for arbitrary codimension by means of its mean curvature vector is presented. Then, the interplay between (generalized) symmetries and trapped submanifolds is studied, proving in particular that…
In this paper, we perform a detailed investigation on the various geometrical properties of trapped surfaces and the boundaries of trapped region in general relativity. This treatment extends earlier work on LRS II spacetimes to a general 4…
We show that the surface area preserving mean curvature flow in Euclidean space exists for all time and converges exponentially to a round sphere, if initially the L^2-norm of the traceless second fundamental form is small (but the initial…
A mean curvature flow starting from a closed embedded hypersurface in $R^{n+1}$ must develop singularities. We show that if the flow has only generic singularities, then the space-time singular set is contained in finitely many compact…
In this article we fully classify regular tubular surfaces in Euclidean, Lorentzian and hyperbolic 3-spaces whose Gaussian and mean curvatures $K$ and $H$ verify a polynomial relation. More precisely, we determine the set $S(Q)$ of all…
We consider surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector field and finite total curvature in product spaces of type $\mathbb{M}^n(c)\times\mathbb{R}$, where $\mathbb{M}^n(c)$ is a space form, and characterize certain of these surfaces. When…
We classify complete biharmonic surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector field and non-negative Gaussian curvature in complex space forms.
We analyze a model of hypercubic random surfaces with an extrinsic curvature term in the action. We find a first order phase transition at finite coupling separating a branched polymer from a stable flat phase.
The (n+1)-sphere contains a simple family of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces which are products of lower-dimensional spheres called the generalized Clifford hypersurfaces. This paper demonstrates that new, topologically…
We study a model for the movement of surfaces, namely the conserved, restricted solid-on-solid model. The surface configurations are restricted such that the difference between the heights at adjacent sites is no more than one. In addition…
We prove curvature estimates for general curvature functions. As an application we show the existence of closed, strictly convex hypersurfaces with prescribed curvature $F$, where the defining cone of $F$ is $\C_+$. $F$ is only assumed to…
We prove that for the mean curvature flow of closed embedded hypersurfaces, the intrinsic diameter stays uniformly bounded as the flow approaches the first singular time, provided all singularities are of neck or conical type. In…
We give conserved quantities of two generalizations of conformal circles on the conformal sphere. One generalization concerns curves carrying a distinguished parallel tractor along them, which can be used to construct the conserved…
We show that invariant submanifolds with boundary, and more generally with corners which are normally expanded by an endomorphism are persistent as $a$-regular stratifications. This result will be shown in class $C^s$, for $s\ge 1$. We…
We give a mathematical foundation for, and numerical demonstration of, the existence of mean curvature 1 surfaces of genus 1 with either two elliptic ends or two hyperbolic ends in de Sitter 3-space. An end of a mean curvature 1 surface is…
