Given a constant $k>1$, let $Z$ be the family of round spheres of radius $\textrm{artanh}(k^{-1})$ in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$, so that any sphere in $Z$ has mean curvature $k$. We prove a crucial nondegeneracy result involving…

Llarull's theorem characterizes the round sphere $S^n$ among all spin manifolds whose scalar curvature is bounded from below by $n(n-1)$. In this paper we show that if the scalar curvature is bounded from below by $n(n-1)-\varepsilon$, the…

We consider a class of rigidity results in a convex cone $\Sigma \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$. These include overdetermined Serrin-type problems for a mixed boundary value problem relative to $\Sigma$, Alexandrov's soap bubble-type results…

We study the mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces in $\R^{n+1}$, with initial surfaces sufficiently close to the standard $n$-dimensional sphere. The closeness is in the Sobolev norm with the index greater than $\frac{n}{2}+1$ and therefore…

Regular polygons are characterized as area-constrained critical points of the perimeter functional with respect to particular families of perturbations in the class of polygons with a fixed number of sides. We also review recent results in…

Bishop's volume comparison theorem states that a compact $n$-manifold with Ricci curvature larger than the standard $n$-sphere has less volume. While the traditional proof uses geodesic balls, we present another proof using isoperimetric…

In the last two centuries and more particularly in the last decades, the geometry of foams has become an important research domain, in mathematics, physics, material sciences and biology. Most of the simplest geometrical observations of…

This paper is mainly concerned with the free boundary problem for an approximate model (for example, arising from the study of sonoluminescence) of a gas bubble of finite mass enclosed within a bounded incompressible viscous liquid,…

Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional complete simply connected Riemannian manifold with sectional curvature bounded above by a nonpositive constant $-\kappa^2$. Using the cone total curvature $TC(\Gamma)$ of a graph $\Gamma$ which was introduced…

We prove a new quantitative version of the Alexandrov theorem which states that if the mean curvature of a regular set in R^{n+1} is close to a constant in L^{n}-sense, then the set is close to a union of disjoint balls with respect to the…

We prove a uniqueness theorem for immersed spheres of prescribed (non-constant) mean curvature in homogeneous three-manifolds. In particular, this uniqueness theorem proves a conjecture by A.D. Alexandrov about immersed spheres of…

For a general radially symmetric, non-increasing, non-negative kernel $h\in L ^ 1 _{loc} ( R ^ d)$, we study the rigidity of measurable sets in $R ^ d$ with constant nonlocal $h$-mean curvature. Under a suitable "improved integrability"…

In this article we study the shape of a compact surface of constant mean curvature of Euclidean space whose boundary is contained in a round sphere. We consider the case that the boundary is prescribed or that the surface meets the sphere…

We study stable immersed capillary hypersurfaces in a domain $\mathcal B$ which is either a half-space or a slab in the Euclidean space $\Bbb R^{n+1}.$ We prove that such a hypersurface $\Sigma$ is rotationally symmetric in the following…

A compactness theorem for volume-constrained almost-critical points of elliptic integrands is proven. The result is new even for the area functional, as almost-criticality is measured in an integral rather than in a uniform sense. Two main…

In 1904, while experimenting with high-speed photography, Lucien Bull recorded a pellet passing through a soap bubble. We investigate the dynamics that allow for a rigid body to pass through a hemispherical soap film without rupturing it.…

We present experimental investigations of antibubbles. Such an unusual fluid object is a thin spherical air shell surrounding a liquid globule. We explain how to produce them and we study their stability. By overweighting antibubbles with a…

We develop a regularity and compactness theory for stable capillary minimal hypersurfaces in the half-space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ with contact angle $\theta \in (0,\pi)$ and dimension $n \geq 2$. As a consequence, we obtain the generalized…

We apply the evolution method to present a new proof of the Alexandrov type theorem for constant anisotropic mean curvature hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$.

We consider the Gauss curvature type flow for uniformly convex hypersurfaces in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}\ (n\geqslant 2)$. We prove that if the initial closed hypersurface is smooth and uniformly convex, then the smooth…
