We prove the three embeddedness results as follows. $({\rm i})$ Let $\Gamma_{2m+1}$ be a piecewise geodesic Jordan curve with $2m+1$ vertices in $\mathbb{R}^n$, where $m$ is an integer $\geq2$. Then the total curvature of…

On a non-compact, smooth, connected, boundaryless, complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, one can define its ideal boundary by rays (or equivalently, Busemann functions). From the viewpoint of Mather theory, boundary elements could be…

The dense amalgam is an operation (introduced in arXiv:1410.4989) which to any finite collection of metrizable compacta associates canonically some new highly disconnected compact metrisable space in which embedded copies of the initial…

In this paper we initiate the investigation of free boundary minimization problems ruled by general singular operators with $A_2$ weights. We show existence and boundedness of minimizers. The key novelty is a sharp $C^{1+\gamma}$ regularity…

We construct a $3$-dimensional area minimizing current $T$ in $\mathbb{R}^5$ whose boundary contains a real analytic surface of multiplicity $2$ at which $T$ has a density $1$ essential boundary singularity with a flat tangent cone. This…

We revisit the question of existence and regularity of minimizers to weighted least gradient problems on a fixed bounded domain, subject to a Dirichlet boundary condition, in the case where the boundary data is continuous and the weight…

Energy minimizers to a MEMS model with an insulating layer are shown to converge in its reinforced limit to the minimizer of the limiting model as the thickness of the layer tends to zero. The proof relies on the identification of the…

In this note, we prove the following generalization of a theorem of Shi and Tam \cite{ShiTam02}: Let $(\Omega, g)$ be an $n$-dimensional ($n \geq 3$) compact Riemannian manifold, spin when $n>7$, with non-negative scalar curvature and mean…

In this article we extend to generic $p$-energy minimizing maps between Riemannian manifolds a regularity result which is known to hold in the case $p=2$. We first show that the set of singular points of such a map can be quantitatively…

Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $N\geq 3$ and we let $\Sigma$ to be a closed submanifold of dimension $1 \leq k \leq N-2. $ In this paper we study existence and non-existence of minimizers of Hardy…

Following Almgren's construction of the "center manifold" in his Big regularity paper, we show the C^{3,\alpha} regularity of area-minimizing currents in the neighborhood of points of density one without using the nonparametric theory. This…

We study Riemannian manifolds $(M^n,g)$ with mean-convex boundary whose Ricci curvature is nonnegative in a spectral sense. Our first main result is a sharp spectral extension of a rigidity theorem by Kasue: we prove that under the…

We prove that if $M$ is a three-manifold with scalar curvature greater than or equal to -2 and $\Sigma\subset M$ is a two-sided compact embedded Riemann surface of genus greater than 1 which is locally area-minimizing, then the area of…

In this paper, we develop a general existence theory for properly embedded minimal surfaces with free boundary in any compact Riemannian 3-manifold $M$ with boundary $\partial M$. The main feature of our result is that no convexity…

The Dirichlet form associated with the intrinsic gradient on Poisson space is known to be quasi-regular on the complete metric space $\ddot\Gamma=$ $\{Z_+$-valued Radon measures on $\IR^d\}$. We show that under mild conditions, the set…

We provide a rather complete description of the sharp regularity theory for a family of heterogeneous, two-phase variational free boundary problems, $\mathcal{J}_\gamma \to $ min, ruled by nonlinear, $p$-degenerate elliptic operators.…

We consider the area functional for t-graphs in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group and study minimizers of the associated Dirichlet problem. We prove that, under a bounded slope condition on the boundary datum, there exists a unique…

In this paper we consider an inverse problem of determining a minimal surface embedded in a Riemannian manifold. We show under a topological condition that if $\Sigma$ is a $2$-dimensional embedded minimal surface, then the knowledge of the…

Let $\mathcal{N}\mathcal{F}$ be the class of smooth non-flat curves near the origin and near infinity previously introduced by the second author and let $\gamma\in\mathcal{N}\mathcal{F}$. We show - via a unifying approach relative to the…

Here we study what we call bounded rough Riemannian metrics $(M,g)$, which are positive definite, symmetric tensors on each tangent space, $T_pM$, which are bounded and measurable as functions in coordinates. This is enough structure to…
