We verify that for all $n \geq 3$ and $2 \leq k \leq n+1$, the standard $k$-bubble clusters, conjectured to be minimizing total perimeter in $\mathbb{R}^n$, $\mathbb{S}^n$ and $\mathbb{H}^n$, are stable -- an infinitesimal regular…

Let $M$ be a complete Sasakian sub-Riemannian $3$-manifold of constant Webster scalar curvature $\kappa$. For any point $p\in M$ and any number $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$ with $\lambda^2+\kappa>0$, we show existence of a $C^2$ spherical surface…

In this paper, we study the flow of closed, starshaped hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with speed $r^\alpha\sigma_2^{1/2},$ where $\sigma_2^{1/2}$ is the normalized square root of the scalar curvature, $\alpha\geq 2,$ and $r$ is the…

Alexandrov's estimate states that if $\Omega$ is a bounded open convex domain in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and $u:\bar \Omega\to {\mathbb R}$ is a convex solution of the Monge-Ampere equation $\det D^2 u = f$ that vanishes on $\partial \Omega$, then…
