Let $M^n$, $n\ge3$, be a compact differentiable manifold with nonpositive Yamabe invariant $\sigma(M)$. Suppose $g_0$ is a continuous metric with $V(M, g_0)=1$, smooth outside a compact set $\Sigma$, and is in $W^{1,p}_{loc}$ for some…

In my talk I will discuss the following results which were obtained in joint work with Wilderich Tuschmann. 1. For any given numbers $m$, $C$ and $D$, the class of $m$-dimensional simply connected closed smooth manifolds with finite second…

We examine the space of surfaces in $\RR^{3}$ which are complete, properly embedded and have nonzero constant mean curvature. These surfaces are noncompact provided we exclude the case of the round sphere. We prove that the space $\Mk$ of…

A regularization procedure developed in [1] for the integral curvature invariants on manifolds with conical singularities is generalized to the case of squashed cones. In general, the squashed conical singularities do not have rotational…

We construct examples of compact and one-ended constant mean curvature surfaces with large mean curvature in Riemannian manifolds with axial symmetry by gluing together small spheres positioned end-to-end along a geodesic. Such surfaces…

We show that submanifolds with infinite mean exit time can not be isometrically and minimally immersed into cylinders, horocylinders, cones, and wedges of some product spaces. Our approach is not based on the weak maximum principle at…

We prove a lower bound for the first Steklov eigenvalue of embedded minimal hypersurfaces with free boundary in a compact $n$-dimensional manifold which has nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary. When $n=3$, this implies…

We consider the problem of finding on a given Euclidean domain $\Omega$ of dimension $n \geq 3$ a complete conformally flat metric whose Schouten curvature $A$ satisfies some equation of the form $f(\lambda(-A)) = 1$. This generalizes a…

We prove a smooth compactness theorem for the space of embedded self-shrinkers in $\RR^3$. Since self-shrinkers model singularities in mean curvature flow, this theorem can be thought of as a compactness result for the space of all…

In this paper we consider the compactness of $\beta$-symplectic critical surfaces in a K\"ahler surface. Let $M$ be a compact K\"ahler surface and $\Sigma_i\subset M$ be a sequence of closed $\beta_i$-symplectic critical surfaces with…

We confirm a well-known conjecture that the round sphere is the only compact, embedded self-similar shrinking solution to the mean curvature flow with genus $0$. More generally, we show that the only properly embedded self-similar shrinkers…

We extend some convergence results on nonsingular compact Ricci flows in the papers \cite{Ha:1}, \cite{Se:1} and \cite{FZZ:2} to certain infinite volume noncompact cases which are "partially" nonsingular. As an application, for a finite…

We prove that every bi-Lipschitz embedding of the unit circle into the plane can be extended to a bi-Lipschitz map of the unit disk with linear bounds on the constants involved. This answers a question raised by Daneri and Pratelli.…

Consider a sequence of pointed n-dimensional complete Riemannian manifolds {(M_i,g_i(t), O_i)} such that t in [0,T] are solutions to the Ricci flow and g_i(t) have uniformly bounded curvatures and derivatives of curvatures. Richard Hamilton…

A version of the singular Yamabe problem in smooth domains in a closed manifold yields complete conformal metrics with negative constant scalar curvatures. In this paper, we study the blow-up phenomena of Ricci curvatures of these metrics…

We prove in special cases the following. $\bullet_{Sc}$ Bounds on the {\it injectivity radii} of "topologically complicated" Riemannian $n$-manifolds $X$, where the scalar curvatures of $X$ are bounded from below, $Sc(X)\geq \sigma>0$.…

Let $\Sigma^2 \subset M^3$ be a minimal surface of index 0 or 1. Assume that a neighborhood of $\Sigma$ can be foliated by constant mean curvature (cmc) hypersurfaces. We use min-max theory and the catenoid estimate to construct…
