We show that for a generic $8$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with positive Ricci curvature, there exists a smooth minimal hypersurface. Without the curvature condition, we show that for a dense set of 8-dimensional Riemannian metrics…
We prove that the space of free boundary CMC surfaces of bounded topology, bounded area and bounded boundary length is compact in the $C^k$ graphical sense away from a finite set of points. This is a CMC version of a result for minimal…

Restrictions are obtained on the topology of a compact divergence-free null hypersurface in a four-dimensional Lorentzian manifold whose Ricci tensor is zero or satisfies some weaker conditions. This is done by showing that each null…
We provide uniqueness results for compact minimal submanifolds in a large class of Riemannian manifolds of arbitrary dimension. In the case compact and Cartan-Hadamard manifolds we obtain general results for these submanifolds. Several…
We give a short proof, in the tradition of the classical work of de Giorgi and Miranda on flat space, that the reduced boundary of a set of least perimeter in a Riemannian manifold of dimension $\leq 7$ is a smooth minimal hypersurfaces.
Given a compact Riemannian manifold $M^{n+1}$ with dimension $3\leq n+1\leq 7$ and $\partial M\neq\emptyset$, the free boundary min-max theory built by Martin Man-Chun Li and Xin Zhou shows the existence of a smooth almost properly embedded…
For a Riemannian manifold $M$, possibly with boundary, we consider the Riemannian product $M\times\mathbb{R}^k$ with a smooth positive function that weights the Riemannian measures. In this work we characterize parabolic hypersurfaces with…
We study of the shape of a compact singular minimal surface in terms of the geometry of its boundary, asking what type of {\it a priori} information can be obtained on the surface from the knowledge of its boundary. We derive estimates of…
