We determine the least-area unit-volume tetrahedral tile of Euclidean space, without the constraint of Gallagher et al. that the tiling uses only orientation-preserving images of the tile. The winner remains Sommerville's type 4v.

We introduce minimal Richardson orbits and pseudo-polarizations for nilpotent orbits in classical Lie algebras of types B, C, and D. For any nilpotent orbit, we classify all minimal Richardson orbits containing it and thereby determine the…

Given a compact Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ and a fixed cohomology class, $[\alpha^*] \in H^k(M)$, we consider the existence of a minimizer $\alpha \in [\alpha^*]$ of the generalized minimal surface energy $\int_M \sqrt{1+|\alpha|^2}…

In this paper we prove that if (u, K) is an almost-minimizer of the Griffith functional and K is $\epsilon$-close to a plane in some ball B $\subset$ R N while separating the ball B in two big parts, then K is C 1,$\alpha$ in a slightly…

We partly extend the localisation technique from convex geometry to the multiple constraints setting. For a given $1$-Lipschitz map $u\colon\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}^m$, $m\leq n$, we define and prove the existence of a partition of…

Let $\tilde{\Sigma}$ be the universal cover of a closed surface $\Sigma$ of genus at least $2$. We characterize all equivariantly area-minimizing maps from $\tilde{\Sigma}$ to a Hilbert sphere, which are equivariant with respect to an…

Given a reductive representation $\rho: \pi_1(S)\rightarrow G$, there exists a $\rho$-equivariant harmonic map $f$ from the universal cover of a fixed Riemann surface $\Sigma$ to the symmetric space $G/K$ associated to $G$. If the Hopf…

A Brillouin zone is the unit for the momentum space of a crystal. It is topologically a torus, and distinguishing whether a set of wave functions over the Brillouin torus can be smoothly deformed to another leads to the classification of…

For a smooth closed embedded planar curve $\Gamma$, we consider the minimization problem of the Willmore energy among immersed surfaces of a given genus $\mathfrak{g}\geq1$ having the curve $\Gamma$ as boundary, without any prescription on…

The fundamental group of every surface that is not the projective plane or Klein bottle has a representation to a torsion-free group of upper-triangular matrices in SL(2,R) with no simple loop (i.e. a nontrivial element representing a…

A submanifold is said to be tangentially biharmonic if the bitension field of the isometric immersion that defines the submanifold has vanishing tangential component. The purpose of this paper is to prove that a surface in Euclidean…

For compact Riemann surfaces, the collar theorem and Bers' partition theorem are major tools for working with simple closed geodesics. The main goal of this paper is to prove similar theorems for hyperbolic cone-surfaces. Hyperbolic…

The Poisson problem consists in finding an immersed surface $\Sigma\subset\mathbb{R}^m$ minimising Germain's elastic energy (known as Willmore energy in geometry) with prescribed boundary, boundary Gauss map and area which constitutes a…

Given a hyperelliptic Klein surface, we construct companion Klein bottles, extending our technique of companion tori already exploited by the authors in the genus 2 case. Bavard's short loops on such companion surfaces are studied in…

We extend the classification of Robert Bryant of Willmore spheres in $S^3$ to variational branched Willmore spheres $S^3$ and show that they are inverse stereographic projections of complete minimal surfaces with finite total curvature in…

It is shown that a superconformal surface with arbitrary codimension in flat Euclidean space has a (necessarily unique) dual superconformal surface if and only if the surface is S-Willmore, the latter a well-known necessary condition to…

Using Legendrian immersions and, in particular, Legendre curves in odd dimensional spheres and anti De Sitter spaces, we provide a method of construction of new examples of Hamiltonian-minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in complex projective…

Special class of surfaces in five-dimensional sphere in $C^3$ is considered. Immersion equations for minimal tori of that class are shown to be reducible to the equation $u_{z\bar z}=e^u-e^{-2u}$ which is integrable by means of inverse…

For every two-dimensional torus $T^2$ and every $k\in \mathbb{N}$, $k\ge 3$, we construct a conformal Willmore immersion $f:T^2\to \mathbb{R}^4$ with exactly one point of density $k$ and Willmore energy $4\pi k$. Moreover, we show that the…

We derive the Weierstrass (or spinor) representation for surfaces in three-dimensional Lie groups Nil, \tilde{SL}_2, and Sol with Thurston's geometries and establish the generating equations for minimal surfaces in these groups. By using…
