For a compact minimal hypersurface $M$ in $S^{n+1}$ with the squared length of the second fundamental form $S$ we confirm that there exists a positive constant $\de(n)$ depending only on $n,$ such that if $n\leq S\leq n +\delta(n)$, then…

We provide the solution for a fundamental problem of geometric optimization by giving a complete characterization of worst-case optimal disk coverings of rectangles: For any $\lambda\geq 1$, the critical covering area $A^*(\lambda)$ is the…

We study the area ranges where the two possible isoperimetric domains on the infinite cylinder $\mathbb{S}^{1}\times \R$, namely, geodesic disks and cylindrical strips of the form $\mathbb{S}^1\times [0,h]$, satisfy P\'{o}lya's conjecture.…

The well known Chen's conjecture on biharmonic submanifolds states that a biharmonic submanifold in a Euclidean space is a minimal one ([10-13, 16, 18-21, 8]). For the case of hypersurfaces, we know that Chen's conjecture is true for…

We derive some estimates for stable minimal hypersurfaces in $R^{n+1}$. The estimates are related to recent proofs of Bernstein theorems for complete stable minimal hypersurfaces in $R^{n+1}$ for $3\le n\le 5$ by Chodosh-Li,…

In this paper, we study the angle estimate of distance functions from minimal hypersurfaces in manifolds of Ricci curvature bounded from below using Colding's method in [13]. With Cheeger-Colding theory, we obtain the Laplacian comparison…

Let $(M,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature that admits a noncompact area-minimizing hypersurface $\Sigma \subset M$. In the case where $n = 3$, O. Chodosh and the first-named…

Minimal surfaces in closed 3-manifolds are classically constructed via the Almgren-Pitts approach. The Allen-Cahn approximation has proved to be a powerful alternative, and Chodosh and Mantoulidis (in Ann. Math. 2020) used it to give a new…

Consider the problem of fnding the smallest area convex $k$-gon containing $n\in\mathbb{N}$ congruent disks without an overlap. By using Wegner inequality in sphere packing theory we give a lower bound for the area of such polygons. For…

We derive curvature estimates for minimal submanifolds in Euclidean space for arbitrary dimension and codimension via Gauss map. Thus, Schoen-Simon-Yau's results and Ecker-Huisken's results are generalized to higher codimension. In this way…

We prove a sharp area estimate for catenoids that allows us to rule out the phenomenon of multiplicity in min-max theory in several settings. We apply it to prove that i) the width of a three-manifold with positive Ricci curvature is…

Let $(M^{n+1},g,e^{-f}d\mu)$ be a complete smooth metric measure space with $2\leq n\leq 6$ and Bakry-\'{E}mery Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive constant. We prove a smooth compactness theorem for the space of complete embedded…

We consider Lie minimal surfaces, the critical points of the simplest Lie sphere invariant energy, in Riemannian space forms. These surfaces can be characterized via their Euler-Lagrange equations, which take the form of differential…

We discover some very general configuration results for constructing area-minimizing cones. In particular, given any closed minimal submanifold in some Euclidean sphere, every cone over the minimal product of sufficiently many copies of the…

In this paper we investigate $m$-dimensional complete minimal submanifolds in Euclidean spheres with index of relative nullity at least $m-2$ at any point. These are austere submanifolds in the sense of Harvey and Lawson \cite{harvey} and…
