This paper establishes the conditions under which minimal and stable minimal hypersurfaces are characterized as hyperplanes in Euclidean spaces and as totally geodesic submanifolds in Riemannian manifolds.

We prove a reflection principle for minimal surfaces in smooth (non necessarily analytic) three manifolds and we give an explicit application when the ambient space is just a smooth manifold.

We present an algorithm for computing curves and families of curves of prescribed degree and geometric genus on real rational surfaces.

We describe some methods to compute fundamental groups, (co)homology, and irregularity of semi-log-canonical surfaces. As an application, we show that there are exactly two irregular Gorenstein stable surfaces with $K^2=1$, both of which…

We classify real families of minimal degree rational curves that cover an embedded rational surface. A corollary is that if the projective closure of a smooth surface is not biregular isomorphic to the projective closure of the unit-sphere,…

It is pointed out that despite of the non-linearity of the underlying equations, there do exist rather general methods that allow to generate new minimal surfaces from known ones.

The purpose of the present paper is to generalize Sakai's work on anticanonical models of rational surfaces to varieties of Fano type. We first prove a characterization of Fano type varieties using the singularities of anticanonical models.…

We prove the normality of minimal log canonical centers on threefold pairs which residue fields are perfect of residue characteristics $p\neq 2,3 $ and $5$. We also show that the union of all log canonical centers on threefold pairs with…

We construct singular solutions to special Lagrangian equa- tions with subcritical phases and minimal surface systems. A priori estimate breaking families of smooth solutions are also produced cor- respondingly. A priori estimates for…

The topological index of a surface was previously introduced by the first author as the topological analogue of the index of an unstable minimal surface. Here we show that surfaces of arbitrarily high topological index exist.

Some elementary considerations are presented concerning Catenoids and their stability, separable minimal hypersurfaces, minimal surfaces obtainable by rotating shapes, determinantal varieties, minimal tori in S3, the minimality in Rnk of…

We prove the abundance theorem for log canonical $n$-folds such that the boundary divisor is big assuming the abundance conjecture for log canonical $(n-1)$-folds. We also discuss the log minimal model program for log canonical $4$-folds.

We compute the Mather minimal log discrepancy via jet schemes and arc spaces for toric varieties and very general hypersurfaces.

In this article we present a formula for the plurigenera of minimal models of nondegenerate toric hypersurfaces, which is valid in arbitrary dimension and which expresses these invariants through lattice points on the Fine interior. From…

This paper derives new algorithms for signomial programming, a generalization of geometric programming. The algorithms are based on a generic principle for optimization called the MM algorithm. In this setting, one can apply the…

We establish a general min-max type theorem that produces minimal surfaces with prescribed genus in 3-manifolds with positive Ricci curvature. An important intermediate step is to show that, in a generic metric with positive Ricci…

The performance of basis sets made of numerical atomic orbitals is explored in density-functional calculations of solids and molecules. With the aim of optimizing basis quality while maintaining strict localization of the orbitals, as…

We propose a Semi-Lagrangian scheme coupled with Radial Basis Function interpolation for approximating a curvature-related level set model, which has been proposed by Zhao et al. in \cite{ZOMK} to reconstruct unknown surfaces from sparse,…

We study minimal complex surfaces S of general type with q(S)=q and p_g(S)=2q-3, q>= 5. We give a complete classification in case that S has a fibration onto a curve of genus >=2. For these surfaces K^2=8\chi. In general we prove that…

Given a hypersurface defined by $f$ in a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$, and a point $P$ on this hypersurface, we consider the invariant $\beta_P(f)$ given by the log canonical threshold at $P$ of ${\mathfrak m}_P\cdot J_f$, where…
