We prove that any minimal (maximal) strongly regular surface in the three-dimensional Minkowski space locally admits canonical principal parameters. Using this result, we find a canonical representation of minimal strongly regular time-like…

Let (M,g) be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension 3, and let \mathscr{F} denote the collection of all embedded surfaces homeomorphic to \mathbb{RP}^2. We study the infimum of the areas of all surfaces in \mathscr{F}. This quantity is…

We prove several sharp distortion and monotonicity theorems for spherically convex functions defined on the unit disk involving geometric quantities such as spherical length, spherical area and total spherical curvature. These results can…

We show that if $F$ is a smooth, closed, orientable surface embedded in a closed, orientable 3-manifold $M$ such that for each Riemannian metric $g$ on $M$, $F$ is isotopic to a least-area surface $F(g)$, then $F$ is incompressible.

We prove a local minimizing property for strictly stable free-boundary minimal hypersurfaces in the relative current setting. Let $\Sigma^n$ be a compact, two-sided, properly embedded free-boundary minimal hypersurface in a compact…

Let $\Sigma_g$ be a closed Riemann surface of genus $g$. Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of the automorphism group of $\Sigma_g$. It is well known that there exists a smooth $G$-equivariant embedding from $\Sigma_g$ to some Euclidean space…

The conformal deformations are contained in two classes of mappings: quasiconformal and harmonic mappings. In this paper we consider the intersection of these classes. We show that, every $K$ quasiconformal harmonic mapping between…

The normal Gauss map of a minimal surface in the model space Sol of solvegeometry is a harmonic map with respect to a certain singular Riemannian metric on the extended complex plane.

We construct harmonic diffeomorphisms from the complex plane $C$ onto any Hadamard surface $M$ whose curvature is bounded above by a negative constant. For that, we prove a Jenkins-Serrin type theorem for minimal graphs in $M\times R$ over…

Assume that $p\in[1,\infty]$ and $u=P_{h}[\phi]$, where $\phi\in L^{p}(\mathbb{S}^{n-1},\mathbb{R}^n)$ and $u(0) = 0$. Then we obtain the sharp inequality $|u(x)|\le G_p(|x|)\|\phi\|_{L^{p}}$ for some smooth function $G_p$ vanishing at $0$.…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic function mapping the open unit disk into itself. We establish a boundary version of Schwarz' lemma in the spirit of a result by Burns and Krantz and provide sufficient conditions on the local behaviour of $f$ near…

Minimal surfaces and Einstein manifolds are among the most natural structures in differential geometry. Whilst minimal surfaces are well understood, Einstein manifolds remain far less so. This exposition synthesises together a set of…

f-Biharmonic maps are the extrema of the f-bienergy functional. f-biharmonic submanifolds are submanifolds whose defining isometric immersions are f-biharmonic maps. In this paper, we prove that an f-biharmonic map from a compact Riemannian…

Building on and extending tools from variational analysis, we prove Kuratowski convergence of sets of simplicial area minimizers to minimizers of the smooth Douglas-Plateau problem under simplicial refinement. This convergence is with…

For a proper immersed minimal disk in $\bf{R}^N$ with quadratic area growth, we show that any harmonic function whose negative part grows at a slow sub-linear rate is constant. This leads to a higher codimensional Bernstein theorem for…

We propose an affine version of the Schwarz map for the hypergeometric differential equation, and study its image when the monodromy group is finite.

The spinor representation is developed for conformal immersions of Riemann surfaces into space. We adapt the approach of Dennis Sullivan, which treats a spin structure on a Riemann surface M as a complex line bundle S whose square is the…

We use (versions of) the von Neumann inequality for Hilbert space contractions to prove several Schwarz-Pick inequalities. Specifically, we derive an alternate proof for a multi-point Schwarz-Pick inequality by Beardon and Minda, along with…

We survey a number of recent generalizations and sharpenings of Nehari's extension of Schwarz' lemma for holomorphic self-maps of the unit disk. In particular, we discuss the case of infinitely many critical points and its relation to the…
