By refining the volume estimate of Heintze and Karcher \cite{HK}, we obtain a sharp pinching estimate for the genus of a surface in $\mathbb S^{3}$, which involves an integral of the norm of its traceless second fundamental form. More…

We find an asymptotic formula for the conformal capacity of a plane condenser both plate of which are concentric circular arcs as the distance between them vanishes. This result generalizes the formula for the capacity of parallel linear…

We study a class of compact surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$ introduced by Alexandrov and generalized by Nirenberg and prove a compactness result under suitable assumptions on induced metrics and Gauss curvatures.

A translation structure on a surface is an atlas of charts to the plane so that the transition functions are translations. We allow our surfaces to be non-compact and infinite genus. We endow the space of all pointed surfaces equipped with…

For compact subsets $E$ of the unit disk $ \mathbb{D}$ we study the capacity of the condenser ${\rm cap}( \mathbb{D},E)$ by means of set functionals defined in terms of hyperbolic geometry. In particular, we study experimentally the case of…

When studying the causal propagation of a field in a globally hyperbolic spacetime M, one often wants to express the physical intuition that it has compact support in spacelike directions, or that its support is a spacelike compact set. We…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. This paper is concerned with the set of scalar-flat metrics which are in the conformal class of g and have the boundary as a constant mean curvature hypersurface. We prove that this…

In the context of Dirichlet type spaces on the unit ball of $\mathbb{C}^d$, also known as Hardy-Sobolev or Besov-Sobolev spaces, we compare two notions of smallness for compact subsets of the unit sphere. We show that the functional…

Let $(M,g)$ be a $3$--dimensional, complete, one--ended Riemannian manifold, with a minimal, compact and connected boundary. We assume that $M$ has a simple topology and that the scalar curvature of $(M,g)$ is non--negative. Moreover, we…

We introduce a notion of relative isospectrality for surfaces with boundary having possibly non-compact ends either conformally compact or asymptotic to cusps. We obtain a compactness result for such families via a conformal surgery that…

We consider the volume entropy of closed flat surfaces of genus $g\geq 2$ and area 1. We show that a sequence of flat surfaces diverges in the moduli space if and only if the volume entropy converges to infinity. Equivalently the Hausdorff…

Let M be a 3-manifold (possibly with boundary). We show that, for any positive integer g, there exists an open nonempty set of metrics on M for each of which there are stable compact embedded minimal surfaces of genus g with arbitrarily…

We prove a compactness result for minimal hypersurfaces with bounded index and volume, which can be thought of as an extension of the compactness theorem of Choi-Schoen (Invent. Math. 1985) to higher dimensions.

For $p \in (1,N)$ and $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^N$ open, the Beppo-Levi space $\mathcal{D}^{1,p}_0(\Omega)$ is the completion of $C_c^{\infty}(\Omega)$ with respect to the norm $\left( \int_{\Omega}|\nabla u|^p \right)^ \frac{1}{p}.$…
