Using the linearized doubling methodology we carry out a PDE gluing construction of a discrete family of non-rotational properly immersed free boundary minimal annuli in the Euclidean unit 3-ball. The surfaces we construct resemble…
We show that, among free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, the flat equatorial disk and the critical catenoid are characterised by a pinching condition on the length of their second…
This is the first of two articles in which we investigate the geometry of free boundary and capillary minimal surfaces in balls $B_R\subset\mathbb{S}^3$. In this article, we extend our previous half-space intersection properties to warped…
The topology and symmetry group of a free boundary minimal surface in the three-dimensional Euclidean unit ball do not determine the surface uniquely. We provide pairs of non-isometric free boundary minimal surfaces having any sufficiently…
For each integer $g\geq 1$ we use variational methods to construct in the unit $3$-ball $B$ a free boundary minimal surface $\Sigma_g$ of symmetry group $\mathbb{D}_{g+1}$. For $g$ large, $\Sigma_g$ has three boundary components and genus…
In this work, we consider $M=(\mathbb{B}^3_r,\bar{g})$ as the Euclidean three-ball with radius $r$ equipped with the metric $\bar{g}=e^{2h}\left\langle , \right\rangle$ conformal to the Euclidean metric. We show that if a free boundary CMC…

In this paper we investigate free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball in Euclidean 3-space, and by using holomorphic techniques we prove that intersection curves of free boundary minimal surfaces with the unit sphere are all circles.
We establish general bounds on the topology of free boundary minimal surfaces obtained via min-max methods in compact, three-dimensional ambient manifolds with mean convex boundary. We prove that the first Betti number is lower…
We prove that every plane passing through the origin divides an embedded compact free boundary minimal surface of the euclidean $3$-ball in exactly two connected surfaces. We also show that if a region in the ball has mean convex boundary…
For any compact surface $\Sigma$ with smooth, non-empty boundary, we construct a free boundary minimal immersion into a Euclidean Ball $\mathbb{B}^N$ where $N$ is controlled in terms of the topology of $\Sigma$. We obtain these as…
In this paper we establish a connection between free boundary minimal surfaces in a ball in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and free boundary cones arising in a one-phase problem. We prove that a doubly connected minimal surface with free boundary in a ball…
We prove that the Almgren-Pitts 6-width of the unit 3-ball is less than $2\pi$. We also prove that there exists a free boundary minimal surface in the unit 3-ball that has genus at most 1, index at most 5, area less than $2\pi$, and is not…

In this paper we develop an extremal eigenvalue approach to the problem of construction of free boundary minimal surfaces in the product of Euclidean balls of chosen radii. The extremal problem involves a linear combination of normalized…
In this survey, we discuss some recent results on free boundary minimal surfaces in the Euclidean unit-ball. The subject has been a very active field of research in the past few years due to the seminal work of Fraser and Schoen on the…
