We prove that given a three manifold with an arbitrary metric $(M^3, g)$ of positive Ricci curvature, there exists a sweepout of $M$ by surfaces of genus $\leq 3$ and areas bounded by $C vol(M^3, g)^{2/3}$. We use this result to construct a…

We prove that for the mean curvature flow of closed embedded hypersurfaces, the intrinsic diameter stays uniformly bounded as the flow approaches the first singular time, provided all singularities are of neck or conical type. In…

Let X_1, X_2 be symplectic 4-manifolds containing symplectic surfaces F_1,F_2 of identical positive genus and opposite squares. Let Z denote the symplectic sum of X_1 and X_2 along the F_k. Using relative Gromov--Witten theory, we determine…

Let $M^{n+1}$ be a closed manifold of dimension $3\le n+1\le 7$ equipped with a generic Riemannian metric $g$. Let $c$ be a positive number. We show that, either there exist infinitely many distinct closed hypersurfaces with constant mean…

In this paper we develop methods to extend the minimal hypersurface approach to positive scalar curvature problems to all dimensions. This includes a proof of the positive mass theorem in all dimensions without a spin assumption. It also…

We show that a closed non-orientable $3$-manifold admits a positive scalar curvature metric if and only if its orientation double cover does; however, for each $4\le n\le 7$, there exist infinitely many smooth non-orientable $n$-manifolds…

It is shown that $3$ disjoint sets with fixed Gaussian volumes that partition $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with nearly minimum total Gaussian surface area must be close to adjacent $120$ degree sectors, when $n\geq2$. These same results hold for any…
