A compact metric surface $M$ isometrically fills a closed metric curve $C$ if $\partial M=C$ and $d_M(x,y)=d_C(x,y)$ for every $x,y\in C=\partial M$; that is, $M$ does not introduce any ``shortcuts'' between points on its boundary. Gromov's…

In this paper we consider nonnegatively curved finite dimensional Alexandrov spaces with a non-collapsing condition, i.e., such that unit balls have volumes uniformly bounded from below away from zero. We study the relation between the…
We show the (anti)holomorphicity of smooth Kobayashi isometries of the diamond, the domain defined as $\triangle:=\{z\in\mathbb C^2:|z_1|+|z_2|<1\}$. Additionally, we discuss the problem of uniqueness of real geodesics, left inverses and…
The study of random surfaces, especially in the asymptotics of large genus, has been of increasing interest in recent years. Many geometrical questions have analogous formulations in the theory of random graphs with a large number of…

We consider two spherical, roughened crystals with approximately isotropic surface free energy which are brought into contact and begin to sinter. We argue that the geometry immediately post-contact is two dimensional and Cartesian and can…
