Given a sequence of properly embedded minimal surfaces in a $3$-manifold with local bounds on area and genus, we prove subsequential convergence, smooth away from a discrete set, to a smooth embedded limit surface, possibly with…

In this paper we prove a local removable singularity theorem for certain minimal laminations with isolated singularities in a Riemannian three-manifold. This removable singularity theorem is the key result used in our proof that a complete,…

We prove a chord arc bound for disks embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with constant mean curvature. This bound does not depend on the value of the mean curvature. It is inspired by and generalizes the work of Colding and Minicozzi in [2] for…

Let $M$ be a compact constant mean curvature surface either in $\mathbb{S}^3$ or $\mathbb{R}^3$. In this paper we prove that the stability index of $M$ is bounded below by a linear function of the genus. As a by product we obtain a…

We prove a version of the strong half-space theorem between the classes of recurrent minimal surfaces and complete minimal surfaces with bounded curvature of $\mathbb{R}^{3}_{\raisepunct{.}}$ We also show that any minimal hypersurface…

A classical problem in constant mean curvature hypersurface theory is, for given $H\geq 0$, to determine whether a compact submanifold $\Gamma^{n-1}$ of codimension two in Euclidean space $\R_+^{n+1}$, having a single valued orthogonal…

A gap in the proof prevents us to show that surfaces with constant mean curvature closed to 1/2 in H2 X R and having boundary with curvature greater than one, contained in a horizontal section P of H2 X R are topological disks, provided…

In this note we propose a min-max theory for embedded hypersurfaces with a fixed boundary and apply it to prove several theorems about the existence of embedded minimal hypersurfaces with a given boundary. A simpler variant of these…

We develop a global theory for complete hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ whose mean curvature is given as a prescribed function of its Gauss map. This theory extends the usual one of constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in…

In classical surface theory there are but few known examples of surfaces admitting nontrivial isometric deformations and fewer still non-simply-connected ones. We consider the isometric deformability question for an immersion x: M \to R^3…

This is a survey on the global theory of constant mean curvature surfaces in Riemannian homogeneous 3-manifolds. These ambient 3-manifolds include the eight canonical Thurston 3-dimensional geometries, i.e. R3, H3, S3, H2 \times R, S2…

In this paper, we consider minimal hypersurfaces in the product space $\mathbb{H}^n \times \mathbb{R}$. We begin by studying examples of rotation hypersurfaces and hypersurfaces invariant under hyperbolic translations. We then consider…

We give a bound on the extinction time for a compact, strictly convex hypersurface in R^{n+1} evolving by a geometric flow where the velocity is given in terms of the curvature. This result generalizes a theorem of Colding and Minicozzi for…

We announce the classification of complete, almost embedded surfaces of constant mean curvature, with three ends and genus zero: they are classified by triples of points on the sphere whose distances are the asymptotic necksizes of the…

In this note, we extend diameter bounds of Simon, Topping, and Wu--Zheng to submanifolds with boundary and (potentially non-compact) ambient manifolds with minor curvature restrictions. The bound is dependent on both an integral of mean…

On a compact manifold with boundary, the map consisting of the scalar curvature in the interior and the mean curvature on the boundary is a local surjection at generic metrics. We prove that this result may be localized to compact…

We consider complete spacelike hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in the open region of de Sitter space known as the steady state space. We prove that if the hypersurface is bounded away from the infinity of the ambient space, then…

This article explains a program to study complete and properly embedded minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ developed jointly with W.H. Meeks and A. Ros in the last three decades. It follows closely the structure of my invited ICM talk with…

In \cite{CM5}, Colding and Minicozzi describe a type of compactness property possessed by sequences of embedded minimal surfaces in $\Real^3$ with finite genus and with boundaries going to $\infty$. They show that any such sequence either…

We establish the existence of a non-trivial, branched immersion of a closed Riemann surface $\Sigma$ with constant mean curvature (CMC) $H$ into any closed, orientable 3-manifold $\mathcal{M}$, for almost every prescribed value of $H$. The…
