We prove a general fusion theorem for complete orientable minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with finite total curvature. As a consequence, complete orientable minimal surfaces of weak finite total curvature with exotic geometry are…

We study complete finite topology immersed surfaces $\Sigma$ in complete Riemannian $3$-manifolds $N$ with sectional curvature $K_N\leq -a^2\leq 0$, such that the absolute mean curvature function of $\Sigma$ is bounded from above by $a$ and…

This paper extends, in a sharp way, the famous Efimov's Theorem to immersed ends in $\real^3$. More precisely, let $M$ be a non-compact connected surface with compact boundary. Then there is no complete isometric immersion of $M$ into $\Bbb…

A Killing submersion is a Riemannian submersion from a 3-manifold to a surface, both connected and orientable, whose fibres are the integral curves of a Killing vector field, not necessarily unitary. The first part of this paper deals with…

In this note, we answer positively a question of Yau by proving the existence of closed minimal surfaces with negative induced curvature in any sphere of large dimension. The proof follows the strategy of Song, applying it to closed Riemann…

We give examples of proper minimal immersions in Euclidean space with very rapid area growth. The first is a proper embedding into $\bf{R}^4$ that yields a stable minimal surface, while the second is a proper immersion into $\bf{R}^3$.…

Minimal surfaces with uniform curvature (or area) bounds have been well understood and the regularity theory is complete, yet essentially nothing was known without such bounds. We discuss here the theory of embedded (i.e., without…

In this short note we consider very general bounded minimal homogeneous domains. Under certain natural additional conditions new sharp results on Bergman type analytic spaces in minimal bounded homogeneous domains are obtained. Domains we…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension 3, and let \mathscr{F} denote the collection of all embedded surfaces homeomorphic to \mathbb{RP}^2. We study the infimum of the areas of all surfaces in \mathscr{F}. This quantity is…

We obtain a sharp estimate on the norm of the differential of a harmonic map from the unit disc $\mathbb D$ in $\mathbb C$ into the unit ball $\mathbb B^n$ in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 2$, at any point where the map is conformal. In dimension…
