We find all Ricci semi-symmetric as well as all conformally semi-symmetric spacetimes. Neither of these properties implies the other. We verify that only conformally flat spacetimes can be Ricci semi-symmetric without being conformally…

We consider surfaces with parallel mean curvature vector (pmc surfaces) in $\mathbb{C}P^n\times\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{C}H^n\times\mathbb{R}$, and, more generally, in cosymplectic space forms. We introduce a holomorphic quadratic…

In this paper, firstly, we show the existence of a compact embedded constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurface $\Sigma_1$ in $\mathbb{S}^{2n}$ of the type $S^{n-1} \times S^{n-1} \times S^{1}$. Moreover, the hypersurface $\Sigma_1$ exhibits…

We prove that every $(3+1)$-dimensional flat GHMC Minkowski spacetime which is not a translation spacetime or a Misner spacetime carries a unique foliation by spacelike hypersurfaces of constant scalar curvature. In otherwords, we prove…

Surfaces with constant mean curvature (CMC) are critical points of the area with volume constraint. They serve as a mathematical model of surfaces of soap bubbles and tiny liquid drops. CMC surfaces are said to be stable if the second…

We show the existence of a deformation process of hypersurfaces from a product space $M_1\times R$ into another product space $M_2\times R$ such that the relation of the principal curvatures of the deformed hypersurfaces can be controlled…

Let $M$ be a globally hyperbolic maximal compact $3$-dimensional spacetime locally modelled on Minkowski, anti-de Sitter or de Sitter space. It is well known that $M$ admits a unique foliation by constant mean curvature surfaces. In this…

We prove that if $X:M^n\to\mathbb{H}^n\times \mathbb{R}$, $n\geq 3$, is a an orientable, complete immersion with finite strong total curvature, then $X$ is proper and $M$ is diffeomorphic to a compact manifold $\bar M$ minus a finite number…

In this paper we consider the prescribed mean curvature flow of a non-compact space-like Cauchy hypersurface of bounded geometry in a generalized Robertson-Walker space-time. We prove that the flow preserves the space-likeness condition and…

In this paper, we describe a family of embedded hypersurfaces with constant mean curvature (CMC) in the $(n+1)$-dimensional unit sphere. In the process, we provide evidence for new CMC embedded examples. In particular, for some examples…

We construct globally hyperbolic spacetimes such that each slice $\{t=t_0\}$ of the universal time $t$ is a model space of constant curvature $k(t_0)$ which may not only vary with $t_0\in\mathbb{R}$ but also change its sign. The metric is…
