In this article, we first show that for all compact Riemannian manifolds with non-empty smooth boundary and dimension at least 3, there exists a metric, pointwise conformal to the original metric, with constant scalar curvature in the…

Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold and E a Riemannian vector bundle on M. We look for hypersurfaces of E with a prescribed vertical Gaussian curvature. In trying to solve this problem fibre-wise, we loose the regularity of the resulting…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. This paper addresses the Yamabe-type problem of finding a conformal scalar-flat metric on M, which has the boundary as a constant mean curvature hypersurface. When the boundary is…

In this paper, we prove the existence of hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space with prescribed boundary and whose k-th Weingarten curvature equals a given function that depends on the normal of the hypersurface. The proof is based on the…

If a variational problem comes with no boundary conditions prescribed beforehand, and yet these arise as a consequence of the variation process itself, we speak of a free boundary values variational problem. Such is, for instance, the…

For convex hypersurfaces in the affine space $\mathbb{A}^{n+1}$ ($n\geq2$), A.-M.\ Li introduced the notion of $\alpha$-normal field as a generalization of the affine normal field. By studying a Monge-Amp\`ere equation with gradient blowup…

Labourie raised the question of determining the possible asymptotics for the growth rate of compact $k$-surfaces, counted according to energy, in negatively curved $3$-manifolds, indicating the possibility of a theory of thermodynamical…

In this article we study a Bernoulli-type free boundary problem and generalize a work of Henrot and Shahgholian in \cite{HS1} to $\mathcal{A}$-harmonic PDEs. These are quasi-linear elliptic PDEs whose structure is modeled on the $p$-Laplace…
