In this paper, we study complete hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature in anti-de Sitter space $H^{n+1}_1(-1)$. we prove that if a complete space-like hypersurface with constant mean curvature $x:\mathbf M\rightarrow H^{n+1}_1(-1) $…

We introduce and study deformation $T_{{\bf b},\phi}$ of Minkowski norms in $\mathbb{R}^n$, determined by a set ${\bf b}=(\beta_1,\ldots,\beta_p)$ of linearly independent 1-forms and a smooth positive function $\phi$ of $p$ variables. In…

In this paper, we consider time-like surfaces in the static space-time given by the warped product $\mathbb L^3_1(c)\, _f\times (I,dz^2)$, where $\mathbb L^3_1(c)$ denotes the Lorentzian space form with the constant sectional curvature…

Let $f$ be a germ of holomorphic diffeomorphism of $\C^n$ fixing the origin $O$, with $df_O$ diagonalizable. We prove that, under certain arithmetic conditions on the eigenvalues of $df_O$ and some restrictions on the resonances, $f$ is…

In (equi-)affine differential geometry, the most important algebraic invariants are the affine (Blaschke) metric h, the affine shape operator S and the difference tensor K. A hypersurface is said to admit a pointwise symmetry if at every…

As in the case of minimal surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space, the reflection principle for maximal surfaces in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space asserts that if a maximal surface has a spacelike line segment $L$, the surface is invariant under…

Given a family of smooth immersions $F_t: M^n\to N^{n+1}$ of closed hypersurfaces in a locally symmetric Riemannian manifold $N^{n+1}$ with bounded geometry, moving by the mean curvature flow, we show that at the first finite singular time…

Let $\mathbb{M}(\mathbb{S}^{n+1})$ denote the M\"{o}bius transformation group of the $(n+1)$-dimensional sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$. A hypersurface $x:M^n\to \mathbb{S}^{n+1}$ is called a M\"{o}bius homogeneous hypersurface if there exists a…

This survey is an introduction to the geometry of co-Minkowksi space, the space of unoriented spacelike hyperplanes of the Minkowski space. Affine deformations of cocompact lattices of hyperbolic isometries act on it, in a way similar to…

We discuss the presence of a light dilaton in CFTs deformed by a nearly-marginal operator O, in the holographic realizations consisting of confining RG flows that end on a soft wall. Generically, the deformations induce a condensate <O>,…

We obtain the bifurcation of some special curves on generic 1-parameter families of surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space. The curves treated here are the locus of points where the induced pseudo metric is degenerate, the discriminant of the…
