We prove a local splitting theorem for three-manifolds with mean convex boundary and scalar curvature bounded from below that contain certain locally area-minimizing free boundary surfaces. Our methods are based on those of Micallef and…

The simplest genuinely multidimensional monopolist's problem involves minimizing a linearly perturbed Dirichlet energy among nonnegative convex functions $u$ on an open domain $X \subset [0, \infty)^2$. The geometry of the region of strict…

Locally convex compact immersed hypersurfaces in Finsler-Hadamard manifolds with bounded T-curvature are considered. We prove that such hypersurfaces are embedded as the boundary of convex body under certain conditions on the normal…

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed minimal surface immersed in a Riemannian 3-manifold carrying an orthonormal Killing frame. This class of ambient spaces includes Lie groups with a bi-invariant metric. In this paper, we prove that the sum of the…
