We define and study the regularity of distance maps on geodesically complete spaces with curvature bounded above. We prove that such a regular map is locally a Hurewicz fibration. This regularity can be regarded as a dual concept of…
We construct examples of compact and one-ended constant mean curvature surfaces with large mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds with axial symmetry by gluing together small spheres positioned end-to-end along a geodesic. Such surfaces…

In this paper, we investigate the rigidity problems of complete hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature and constant scalar curvature in Euclidean spaces. Firstly, under some conditions of Gaussian-Kronecker curvature, we provide…
For a connected $n$-dimensional compact smooth hypersurface $M$ without boundary embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, a classical result of Aleksandrov shows that it must be a sphere if it has constant mean curvature. Li and Nirenberg studied a…
This paper shows that immersed totally geodesic $m$-dimensional suborbifolds of $n$-dimensional arithmetic hyperbolic orbifolds correspond to finite subgroups of the commensurator whenever $m \geqslant \frac{n-1}{2}$. We call such totally…

The (n+1)-sphere contains a simple family of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces which are products of lower-dimensional spheres called the generalized Clifford hypersurfaces. This paper demonstrates that new, topologically…
The entropy of a hypersurface is a geometric invariant that measures complexity and is invariant under rigid motions and dilations. It is given by the supremum over all Gaussian integrals with varying centers and scales. It is monotone…
This thesis mainly treats two developments of the classical theory of hypersurfaces inside pseudo-Riemannian space forms. The former - a joint work with Francesco Bonsante - consists in the study of immersions of smooth manifolds into…
Motivated by the theory of isoparametric hypersurfaces, we study submanifolds whose tubular hypersurfaces have some constant "higher order mean curvatures". Here a $k$-th order mean curvature $Q_k$ ($k\geq1$) of a hypersurface $M^n$ is…
We construct examples of hyperbolic rational homology spheres and hyperbolic knot complements in rational homology spheres containing closed embedded totally geodesic surfaces.
In this paper we study the geometry of complete constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces immersed in an (n + 1)-dimensional Riemannian manifold N (n = 2, 3 and 4) with sectional curvatures uniformly bounded from below. We generalise…
We study hypersurfaces either in the sphere \s{n+1} or in the hyperbolic space \h{n+1} whose position vector $x$ satisfies the condition $L_kx=Ax+b$, where $L_k$ is the linearized operator of the $(k+1)$-th mean curvature of the…
We study foliations of space forms by complete hypersurfaces, under some mild conditions on its higher order mean curvatures. In particular, in Euclidean space we obtain a Bernstein-type theorem for graphs whose mean and scalar curvature do…
We review the extraordinary fertility and proliferation in mathematics and physics of the concept of a surface with constant and negative Gaussian curvature. In his outstanding 1868 paper Beltrami discussed how non-Euclidean geometry is…
We classify hypersurfaces with rotational symmetry and positive constant $r$-th mean curvature in $\mathbb H^n \times \mathbb R$. Specific constant higher order mean curvature hypersurfaces invariant under hyperbolic translation are also…

We obtain sharp estimates involving the mean curvatures of higher order of a complete bounded hypersurface immersed in a complete Riemannian manifold. Similar results are also given for complete spacelike hypersurfaces in Lorentzian ambient…
The first main result is a topological rigidity theorem for complete immersed hypersurfaces of spherical space forms which extends similar results due to do Carmo/Warner, Wang/Xia and Longa/Ripoll. Under certain sharp conditions on the…
