A Delaunay cell decomposition of a surface with constant curvature gives rise to a circle pattern, consisting of the circles which are circumscribed to the facets. We treat the problem whether there exists a Delaunay cell decomposition for…

Motivated by the analogy between number fields and function fields, this paper extends the main result of \cite{janbazi2025unified} to the function field setting. Let $C$ be a smooth affine curve over a finite field, and let $\pi: S…

We prove curvature estimates for general curvature functions. As an application we show the existence of closed, strictly convex hypersurfaces with prescribed curvature $F$, where the defining cone of $F$ is $\C_+$. $F$ is only assumed to…
