We prove that in Euclidean space $R^{n+1}$ any compact immersed nonnegatively curved hypersurface $M$ with free boundary on the sphere $S^n$ is an embedded convex topological disk. In particular, when the $m^{th}$ mean curvature of $M$ is…
It is well known that the only surfaces that are simultaneously minimal in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and maximal in $\mathbb{L}^3$ are open pieces of helicoids (in the region in which they are spacelike) and of spacelike planes (O. Kobayashi 1983).…
In this paper, we prove the existence of hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space with prescribed boundary and whose k-th Weingarten curvature equals a given function that depends on the normal of the hypersurface. The proof is based on the…
Let $M\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ be a properly embedded, connected, complete surface with boundary a convex planar curve $C$, satisfying an elliptic equation $H=f(H^2-K)$, where $H$ and $K$ are the mean and the Gauss curvature respectively -…
For a given smooth convex cone in the Euclidean $(n+1)$-space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ which is centered at the origin, we investigate the evolution of strictly mean convex hypersurfaces, which are star-shaped with respect to the center of the…
It is well-known that the unit cotangent bundle of any Riemannian manifold has a canonical contact structure. A surface in a Riemannian 3-manifold is called a (wave) front if it is the projection of a Legendrian immersion into the unit…
We show the existence of 1-parameter families of non-periodic, complete, embedded minimal surfaces in euclidean space with infinitely many parallel planar ends. In particular we are able to produce finite genus examples and quasi-periodic…
In this article, we study complete surfaces $\Sigma$, isometrically immersed in the product space $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ having positive extrinsic curvature $K_e$. Let $K_i$ denote the intrinsic…
We investigate surfaces with constant harmonic-mean curvature one (HMC-1 surfaces) in hyperbolic three-space. We allow them to have certain kinds of singularities, and discuss some global properties. As well as flat surfaces and surfaces…
We study deformations of complex hyperbolic surfaces which furnish the simplest examples of: (i) negatively curved K\"ahler manifolds and (ii) negatively curved Riemannian manifolds not having {\it constant} curvature. Although such complex…
In the last two decades, much effort has been dedicated to studying curves and surfaces according to their angle with a given direction. However, most findings were obtained using a case-by-case approach, and it is often unclear what are…
In recent years it has been recognized that the hyperbolic numbers (an extension of complex numbers, defined as z=x+h*y with h*h=1 and x,y real numbers) can be associated to space-time geometry as stated by the Lorentz transformations of…
We prove that general helices in Euclidean space for Killing vector fields associated to rotations are helices, that is, curves with constant curvature and constant torsion. In hyperbolic space $\h^3$, we obtain the parametrization of…
We construct for every connected surface $S$ of finite negative Euler characteristic and every $H \in [0,1)$, a hyperbolic 3-manifold $N(S,H)$ of finite volume and a proper, two-sided, totally umbilic embedding $f\colon S\to N(S,H)$ with…
In this paper, we study meridian surfaces of Weingarten type in Euclidean 4-space E^4. We give the neccessary and sufficient conditions for a meridian surface in E^4 to become Weingarten type.
We show that any infinite-type surface without planar ends admits arbitrarily large families of length isospectral hyperbolic structures. If the surface has infinite genus and its space of ends is self-similar, we construct an uncountable…
We construct examples of hyperbolic rational homology spheres and hyperbolic knot complements in rational homology spheres containing closed embedded totally geodesic surfaces.
We develop an invariant local theory of Lorentz surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean 4-space by use of a linear map of Weingarten type. We find a geometrically determined moving frame field at each point of the surface and obtain a system of…
In this paper, we find all constant slope surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space, namely those surfaces for which the position vector of a point of the surface makes constant angle with the normal at the surface in that point. These surfaces…
We prove that the only self-similar surfaces of Euclidean 3-space which are foliated by circles are the self-similar surfaces of revolution discovered by S. Angenent and that the only ruled, self-similar surfaces are the cylinders over…
