An almost Fuchsian manifold is a quasi-Fuchsian hyperbolic three-manifold that contains a closed incompressible minimal surface with principal curvatures everywhere in the range of (-1,1). In such a hyperbolic three-manifold, the minimal…

Minimal surfaces with uniform curvature (or area) bounds have been well understood and the regularity theory is complete, yet essentially nothing was known without such bounds. We discuss here the theory of embedded (i.e., without…

In this paper we prove that a complete, embedded minimal surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with finite topology and compact boundary (possibly empty) is conformally a compact Riemann surface $\overline{M}$ with boundary punctured in a finite…

In this paper, we prove that every conformal minimal immersion of a compact bordered Riemann surface $M$ into a minimally convex domain $D\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ can be approximated, uniformly on compacts in $\mathring M=M\setminus bM$, by…

In this paper, we study the combinatorial Yamabe flow on infinite triangulated surfaces in Euclidean background geometry, aiming for solving discrete Yamabe problem on noncompact surfaces. Under suitable conditions, we establish 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…

We study the Yamabe flow on compact Riemannian manifolds of dimensions greater than two with minimal boundary. Convergence to a metric with constant scalar curvature and minimal boundary is established in dimensions up to seven, and in any…

Consider a convex domain B of space. We prove that there exist complete minimal surfaces which are properly immersed in B. We also demonstrate that if D and D' are convex domains with D bounded and the closure of D contained in D' then any…

The periodic orbit conjecture states that, on closed manifolds, the set of lengths of the orbits of a non-vanishing vector field all whose orbits are closed admits an upper bound. This conjecture is known to be false in general due to a…

We give an elementary obstruction to reducibility for knotted surfaces in the four-sphere. As a new application, we construct stably irreducible non-orientable surfaces.

We construct the first examples of complete, properly embedded minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{H}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ with finite total curvature and positive genus. These are constructed by gluing copies of horizontal catenoids or other…

We prove that oriented and standard shadowing properties are equivalent for topological flows on closed surfaces with the nonwandering set consisting of the finite number of critical elements (i.e., singularities or closed orbits).…

We consider properly immersed finite topology minimal surfaces S in complete finite volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds N, and in M x S(1), where M is a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area. We prove S has finite total curvature equal to…

Let $\varphi$ be a transitive pseudo-Anosov flow on an oriented, compact $3$-manifold $M$, possibly with toral boundary. We characterize the surfaces in $M$ that are (almost) transverse to $\phi$. When $\varphi$ has no perfect fits (e.g.…

We consider the asymptotic behavior of properly embedded minimal surfaces in the product of the hyperbolic plane with the line, taking into account the fact that there is more than one natural compactification of this space. This provides a…

For all orientable closed surfaces, we determine the minimal dilatation among mapping classes arising from Penner's construction. We also discuss generalisations to surfaces with punctures.

Let $M$ be an open Riemann surface and $n\ge 3$ be an integer. In this paper we establish some generic properties (in Baire category sense) in the space of all conformal minimal immersions $M\to\mathbb{R}^n$ endowed with the compact-open…

In this note, we answer positively a question of Yau by proving the existence of closed minimal surfaces with negative induced curvature in any sphere of large dimension. The proof follows the strategy of Song, applying it to closed Riemann…
