In this work it is shown that every integral varifold in an open subset of Euclidian space of locally bounded first variation can be covered by a countable collection of submanifolds of class C^2. Moreover, the mean curvature of each member…

In this paper we prove that, for every integers $m\geq 2$ and $n\geq 1$, the support of any stationary $m$-dimensional integer rectifiable varifold $V$ in an open set $U\subset \mathbb R^{m+n}$ is $C^\infty$ rectifiable, namely it can be…

Suppose $ F $ is an integrand associated with a uniformly convex $ \mathscr{C}^{3} $-norm, and $ V $ is a $ n $-dimensional varifold in an open subset of $ \mathbf{R}^{n+1} $ such that $ \mathscr{H}^n \llcorner \operatorname{spt} \| V \| $…

In this paper we deal with singular varieties of bounded mean curvature in the viscosity sense. They contain all varifolds of bounded generalized mean curvature. In the first part we investigate the second-order properties of these…

We consider, in a first instance, the class of boundaries of sets with locally finite perimeter whose (weakly defined) mean curvature is $g \nu$, for a given continuous positive ambient function $g$, and where $\nu$ denotes the inner…

Consider a sequence of closed, orientable surfaces of fixed genus $g$ in a Riemannian manifold $M$ with uniform upper bounds on mean curvature and area. We show that on passing to a subsequence and choosing appropriate parametrisations, the…

We establish a partial rectifiability result for the free boundary of a $k$-varifold $V$. Namely, we first refine a theorem of Gr\"uter and Jost by showing that the first variation of a general varifold with free boundary is a Radon…

We show that the theory of varifolds can be suitably enriched to open the way to applications in the field of discrete and computational geometry. Using appropriate regularizations of the mass and of the first variation of a varifold we…

The doubling conjecture predicts that a manifold admits positive scalar curvature with mean convex boundary if and only if its double admits positive scalar curvature. We show that it holds true for manifolds where the inclusion of the…

We prove that if $ V $ is a $ n $-dimensional varifold in an open subset of $ \mathbf{R}^{n+1} $ with bounded anisotropic mean curvature such that $ {\rm spt} \| V \| $ has locally finite $ \mathscr{H}^n $-measure, then $ {\rm spt} \| V \|…

In this work we consider viscosity solutions to second order parabolic PDEs $u_{t}+F(t,x,u,du,d^{2}u)=0$ defined on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary conditions. We prove comparison, uniqueness and existence results for the…

We consider the following problem: on any given complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, among all curves which have fixed length as well as fixed end-points and tangents at the end-points, minimise the $L^\infty$ norm of the curvature. We…

In this paper, we investigate the mean curvature flow of submanifolds of arbitrary codimension in $\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^m$. We prove that if the initial submanifold satisfies a pinching condition, then the mean curvature flow converges to a…

We establish the rectifiability of measures satisfying a linear PDE constraint. The obtained rectifiability dimensions are optimal for many usual PDE operators, including all first-order systems and all second-order scalar operators. In…

In this article, we prove that viscosity subsolutions to nonlocal mean curvature-type equations satisfy universal volumetric estimates at all scales. Our results hold for general symmetric kernels that are comparable to the fractional…

If one considers an integral varifold $I^m\subseteq M$ with bounded mean curvature, and if $S^k(I)\equiv\{x\in M: \text{ no tangent cone at $x$ is }k+1\text{-symmetric}\}$ is the standard stratification of the singular set, then it is well…
