We establish a lower bound for the surface area of a closed, convex hypersurface in Euclidean space in terms of its displacement under continuous maps. As a result, a hypothesized lower bound for the volume of a Riemannian $n$-sphere,…

We prove a lower bound for the first Steklov eigenvalue of embedded minimal hypersurfaces with free boundary in a compact $n$-dimensional manifold which has nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary. When $n=3$, this implies…

In this paper, we consider minimal hypersurfaces in the product space $\mathbb{H}^n \times \mathbb{R}$. We begin by studying examples of rotation hypersurfaces and hypersurfaces invariant under hyperbolic translations. We then consider…

In this paper, we study closed embedded minimal hypersurfaces in a Riemannian $(n+1)$-manifold ($2\le n\le 6$) that minimize area among such hypersurfaces. We show they exist and arise either by minimization techniques or by min-max…

It is proved that a convex hypersurface in a Riemannian manifold of sectional curvature at least k is an Alexandrov's space of curvature at least k. This theorem provides an optimal lower curvature bound for an older theorem of Buyalo.
