Consider a surface, enclosing a fixed volume, described by a free-energy depending only on the local geometry; for example, the Canham-Helfrich energy quadratic in the mean curvature describes a fluid membrane. The stress at any point on…

Given an $\infty$-harmonic function $u_\infty$ on a domain $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$, consider the function $w = -\log |\nabla u_\infty|$. If $u_\infty \in C^2(\Omega)$ with $\nabla u_\infty \neq 0$ and $\nabla |\nabla u_\infty| \neq…

If $\Omega$ is the interior of a convex polygon in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ and $f,g$ two asymptotic geodesics, we show that the distance function $d\left(f\left(t\right),g\left(t\right)\right)$ is convex for $t$ sufficiently large. The same result…
