The main result of this paper is a proof that there are examples of spatially compact solutions of the Einstein-dust equations which only exist for an arbitrarily small amount of CMC time. While this fact is plausible, it is not trivial to…

Thurston's Ending Lamination Conjecture states that a hyperbolic 3-manifold N with finitely generated fundamental group is uniquely determined by its topological type and its end invariants. In this paper we prove this conjecture for…

In this paper we study the mean curvature flow of embedded disks with free boundary on an embedded cylinder or generalised cone of revolution, called the support hypersurface. We determine regions of the interior of the support hypersurface…

We prove that a hemisphere in the Euclidean space $R^{n+1}$, viewed as the graph of a function, admits no smooth perturbations as graphs with mean curvature $H\ge 1$ whose boundary equator is fixed up to $C^2$. This is an extension of the…

The regularity of limit spaces of Riemannian manifolds with L^p curvature bounds, $p > n/2$, is investigated under no apriori non-collapsing assumption. A regular subset, defined by a local volume growth condition for a limit measure, is…

We present several rigidity results for Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with scalar curvature $S \ge -n(n-1)$ (or $S\ge 0$), and having compact boundary $N$ satisfying a related mean curvature inequality. The proofs make use of results on…

We show that if $\mathcal{L}$ is a codimension-one lamination in a finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifold such that the principal curvatures of each leaf of $\mathcal{L}$ are all in the interval $(-\delta ,\delta)$ for a fixed $\delta\in[0,1)$…

In the 1970s, the collar theorem was proven, establishing the existence of uniform tubular neighborhoods of simple closed geodesics on compact surfaces, whose widths depend only on the lengths of the geodesics and the lower bound of the…

We prove a splitting theorem for a smooth noncompact manifold with (possibly noncompact) boundary. We show that if a noncompact manifold of dimension $n\geq 2$ has $\lambda_1(-\alpha\Delta+\operatorname{Ric})\geq 0$ for some…

We consider the conformal decomposition of Einstein's constraint equations introduced by Lichnerowicz and York, on a compact manifold with boundary. We use order relations on appropriate Banach spaces to derive weak solution generalizations…

In this paper we prove several results on the geometry of surfaces immersed in $\mathbf R^3$ with small or bounded $L^2$ norm of $|A|$. For instance, we prove that if the $L^2$ norm of $|A|$ and the $L^p$ norm of $H$, $p>2$, are…

We prove some rigidity theorems for configurations of closed disks. First, fix two collections $\mathcal{C}$ and $\tilde{\mathcal{C}}$ of closed disks in the Riemann sphere $\hat{\mathbb{C}}$, sharing a contact graph which…

We prove that a minimal disc in a CAT(0) space is a local embedding away from a finite set of "branch points". On the way we establish several basic properties of minimal surfaces: monotonicity of area densities, density bounds, limit…

Consider a sequence of minimal varieties M_i in a Riemannian manifold N such that the boundary measures are uniformly bounded on compact sets. Let Z be the set of points at which the areas of the M_i blow up. We prove that Z behaves in some…

We say that a simple, closed curve $\gamma$ in the plane has bounded convex curvature if for every point $x$ on $\gamma$, there is an open unit disk $U_x$ and $\varepsilon_x>0$ such that $x\in\partial U_x$ and $B_{\varepsilon_x}(x)\cap…

Let $M^n$ be a biharmonic hypersurface with constant scalar curvature in a space form $\mathbb M^{n+1}(c)$. We show that $M^n$ has constant mean curvature if $c>0$ and $M^n$ is minimal if $c\leq0$, provided that the number of distinct…

We characterize all compact embedded stable minimal capillary surfaces with capillary angle close to either $0$ or $\pi$ that are supported on a complete embedded minimal surface with finite total curvature that is not an affine plane.…

We use the Dirac operator technique to establish sharp distance estimates for compact spin manifolds under lower bounds on the scalar curvature in the interior and on the mean curvature of the boundary. In the situations we consider, we…

We develop the concept of integral Menger curvature for a large class of nonsmooth surfaces. We prove uniform Ahlfors regularity and a $C^{1,\lambda}$-a-priori bound for surfaces for which this functional is finite. In fact, it turns out…
