We prove a low-regularity version of Hawking's singularity theorem for Lorentzian metrics in $W^{1,p}$ with Riemann curvature in $L^p$, where $p>2n$ and $n$ the dimension of spacetime. This extends previous results beyond the Lipschitz…

In 1993, the global stability of Minkowski spacetime has been proven in the celebrated work of Christodoulou and Klainerman \cite{Ch-Kl} in a maximal foliation. In 2003, Klainerman and Nic\`olo \cite{Kl-Ni} gave a second proof of the…

We show that closed surfaces with minimal total absolute curvature in Cartan-Hadamard 3-manifolds bound flat convex bodies. This generalizes Chern-Lashof's theorem for surfaces in Euclidean space and solves a problem posed by Gromov in…
