We show that there are minimal graphs in R^{n+1} whose intersection with the portion of the horizontal hyperplane contained in the unit ball has any prescribed geometry, up to a small deformation. The proof hinges on the construction of…

In this paper, we prove that a complete, two-sided, stable anisotropic minimal immersed hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^{5}$ or $\mathbb{R}^{6}$ is flat, provided the anisotropic area functional is $C^4$-close to the area functional.

In spaces of nonpositive curvature the existence of isometrically embedded flat (hyper)planes is often granted by apparently weaker conditions on large scales. We show that some such results remain valid for metric spaces with non-unique…

We consider compact connected minimal surfaces, with a pair of boundary curves (not necessarily convex) in distinct planes, that have least-area amongst all orientable surfaces with the same boundary. When the planes containing these two…

We determine the geometric structure of a minimal projective threefold having two `independent and commutative' automorphisms of positive topological entropy, and generalize this result to higher-dimensional smooth minimal pairs (X, G). As…

We prove that any manifold diffeomorphic to $S^3$ and endowed with a generic metric contains at least two embedded minimal two-spheres. The existence of at least one minimal two-sphere was obtained by Simon-Smith in 1983. Our approach…

We prove that the $5$-canonical map of every minimal projective $3$-fold $X$ with $K_X^3\geq 86$ is stably birational onto its image, which loosens previous requirements $K_X^3>4355^3$ and $K_X^3>12^3$ respectively given by Todorov and…

In this paper, we prove that in any compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary, of dimension at least 3 and at most 7, there exist infinitely many almost properly embedded free boundary minimal hypersurfaces. This settles the free…
