In this paper we consider the complete biconservative surfaces in Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ and in the unit Euclidean sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$. Biconservative surfaces in 3-dimensional space forms are characterized by the fact that the…
Riemannian cubics in tension are critical points of the linear combination of two objective functionals, namely the squared norms of the velocity and acceleration of a curve on a Riemannian manifold. We view this variational problem of…
The consideration of the so-called rotation minimizing frames allows for a simple and elegant characterization of plane and spherical curves in Euclidean space via a linear equation relating the coefficients that dictate the frame motion.…
The three-body general problem is formulated as a problem of geodesic trajectories flows on the Riemannian manifold. It is proved that a curved space with local coordinate system allows to detect new hidden symmetries of the internal motion…
We construct convex bodies that can be "captured by nets." More precisely, for each dimension $n \geq 2$, we construct a family of Riemannian $n$-spheres, each with a stable geodesic net, which is a stable 1-dimensional integral varifold.…

Given a negatively curved compact Riemannian surface $X$, we give an explicit estimate, valid with high probability as the degree goes to infinity, of the first non-trivial eigenvalue of the Laplacian on random Riemannian covers of $X$. The…
In this paper we find approximate solutions of certain Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problems for minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and null holomorphic curves in $\mathbb{C}^n$ for any $n\ge 3$. With this tool in hand we construct…
We study minimal surfaces in generic sub-Riemannian manifolds with sub-Riemannian structures of co-rank one. These surfaces can be defined as the critical points of the so-called {\it horizontal} area functional associated to the canonical…
An ant-like observer confined to a two-dimensional surface traversed by stripes would wonder whether this striped landscape could be devised in such a way as to appear to be the same wherever they go. Differently stated, this is the problem…
We prove the existence of immersed closed curves of constant geodesic curvature in an arbitrary Riemannian 2-sphere for almost every prescribed curvature. To achieve this, we develop a min-max scheme for a weighted length functional.
We study the problem of isometrically embedding a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold into Euclidean three-space. It is shown that if Gaussian curvature vanishes to finite order and its zero set consists of two smooth curves tangent at a…
The main aim of this paper is to investigate the nature of invariancy of rectifying curve under conformal transformation and obtain a sufficient condition for which such a curve remains conformally invariant. It is shown that the normal…
We give a geometric obstruction to the non-negativity of the sectional curvature in the total spaces of certain Riemannian submersions with totally geodesic fibers; applications of this obstruction to several examples are given.
We adapt the Newman-Penrose formalism in general relativity to the setting of three-dimensional Riemannian geometry, and prove the following results. Given a Riemannian 3-manifold without boundary and a smooth unit vector field…
The classical construction of the symplectic structure on the space of geodesic trajectories via Hamiltonian reduction fails in the pseudo-Riemannian setting due to a dimensional mismatch created by the null geodesics. This paper proposes a…
We study the geometry of surfaces in $\mathbb R^5$ by relating it to the geometry of regular and singular surfaces in $\mathbb R^4$ obtained by orthogonal projections. In particular, we obtain relations between asymptotic directions, which…
