Observations suggest that our universe is spatially flat on the largest observable scales. Exactly six different compact orientable three-dimensional manifolds admit flat metrics. These six manifolds are therefore the most natural choices…

We collect several results concerning regularity of minimal laminations, and governing the various modes of convergence for sequences of minimal laminations. We then apply this theory to prove that a function has locally least gradient (is…

We prove that the ends of a properly immersed simply or one connected minimal surface in H(2)xR contained in a slab of height less than \pi of H(2)xR, are multi-graphs. When such a surface is embedded then the ends are graphs. When embedded…

We consider a surface $M$ immersed in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with induced metric $g=\psi\delta_2$ where $\delta_2$ is the two dimensional Euclidean metric. We then construct a system of partial differential equations that constrain $M$ to lift to a…

A correspondence between different $Pin$-type structures on a compact surface and quadratic (linear) forms on its homology is constructed. Addition of structures is defined and expressed in terms of these quadratic forms.
