In this paper, we study totally real minimal surfaces in the quaternionic projective space $\mathbb{H}P^n$. We prove that the linearly full totally real flat minimal surfaces of isotropy order $n$ in $\mathbb{H}P^n$ are two surfaces in…

In this paper, we study self-expanding solutions for mean curvature flows and their relationship to minimal cones in Euclidean space. In [18], Ilmanen proved the existence of self-expanding hypersurfaces with prescribed tangent cones at…

In this note we construct an explicit example of a (compact) conformally flat Riemannian manifold which admits a totally geodesic foliation of codimension one with no isoparametric leaves. This answers negatively the question: is every…

In this paper we classify Euclidean hypersurfaces $f\colon M^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with a principal curvature of multiplicity $n-2$ that admit a genuine conformal deformation $\tilde{f}\colon M^n \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n+2}$.…

For a closed minimal immersed hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb S^{n+1}$ with second fundamental form $A$, and each integer $k\ge 2$, define a constant $\sigma_k=\dfrac{\int_M (|A|^2)^k}{|M|}$. We show that $\sigma_k \ge 2^k$ provided $n=2$ and…

The Willmore Problem seeks the surface in $\mathbb S^3\subset\mathbb R^4$ of a given topological type minimizing the squared-mean-curvature energy $W = \int |\mathbf{H}_{\mathbb{R}^4}|^2 = \operatorname{area} + \int H_{\mathbb{S}^3}^2$. The…

We prove that every open Riemann surface $M$ is the complex structure of a complete surface of constant mean curvature 1 (CMC-1) in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$. We go further and establish a jet interpolation theorem…

The following version of a conjecture of Fischer-Colbrie and Schoen is proved: If M is a complete Riemannian 3-manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature which contains a two-sided torus S which is of least area in its isotopy class then M…

The study of minimal surfaces has a long history, due to the important applications. Given a fixed boundary, one wants to minimise the surface area: this can be used, for example, to minimise the area of the roof of a building. Similarly,…

Let $(M^{n+1},g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold, $n+1\geq 3$. We will prove that for all $m \in \mathbb{N}$, there exists $c^{*}(m)>0$, which depends on $g$, such that if $0<c<c^{*}(m)$, $(M,g)$ contains at least $m$ many closed $c$-CMC…

In this paper, we study the shape of the min-max minimal hypersurface produced by Almgren-Pitts-Schoen-Simon \cite{AF62, AF65, P81, SS81} in a Riemannian manifold $(M^{n+1}, g)$ of positive Ricci curvature for all dimensions. The min-max…

The focal submanifolds of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres are all minimal Willmore submanifolds, mostly being $\mathcal{A}$-manifolds in the sense of A.Gray but rarely Ricci-parallel (\cite{QTY},\cite{LY},\cite{TY3}). In this paper…

In this paper, we investigate the classification of $H$-tensional hypersurfaces $M$ in a $4$-dimensional space form $N^4(c)$ of constant sectional curvature $c$. Our results show that minimal hypersurfaces are the only $H$-tensional…

We prove a Simons type equation for non-minimal surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector (pmc surfaces) in $M^3(c)\times\mathbb{R}$, where $M^3(c)$ is a 3-dimensional space form. Then, we use this equation in order to characterize…

We consider the inverse mean curvature flow by parallel hypersurfaces in space forms. We show that such a flow exists if and only if the initial hypersurface is isoparametric. The flow is characterized by an algebraic equation satisfied by…

A $k$-harmonic map is a critical point of the $k$-energy in the space of smooth maps between two Riemannian manifolds. In this paper, we prove that if $M^{n} (n\ge 3)$ is a CMC proper triharmonic hypersurface with at most three distinct…
