In this paper we prove that, given an open Riemann surface $M$ and an integer $n\ge 3$, the set of complete conformal minimal immersions $M\to\mathbb{R}^n$ with $\overline{X(M)}=\mathbb{R}^n$ forms a dense subset in the space of all…

A sequence of distinct closed surfaces in a hyperbolic 3-manifold M is asymptotically geodesic if their principal curvatures tend uniformly to zero. When M has finite volume, we show such sequences are always asymptotically dense in the…

We introduce nonlocal minimal surfaces on closed manifolds and establish a far-reaching Yau-type result: in every closed, $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold we construct infinitely many nonlocal $s$-minimal surfaces. We prove that, when…

Let $G$ be a compact connected subgroup of $SO(n+1)$. In $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, we gain interior $G$-symmetry for minimal hypersurfaces and hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature (CMC) which have $G$-invariant boundaries and $G$-invariant…

Let $M$ be an open Riemann surface and $n\ge 3$ be an integer. In this paper we establish some generic properties (in Baire category sense) in the space of all conformal minimal immersions $M\to\mathbb{R}^n$ endowed with the compact-open…

We show that min-max minimal hypersurfaces can be localized. As a consequence, we obtain the sharp generalization to complete manifolds of the famous Almgren-Pitts min-max theorem in closed manifolds. We use this result to prove the…

In this work we discuss stability and nondegeneracy properties of some special families of minimal hypersurfaces embedded in $\mathbb{R}^m\times \mathbb{R}^n$ with $m,n\geq 2$. These hypersurfaces are asymptotic at infinity to a fixed…

We uncover some connections between the topology of a complete Riemannian surface M and the minimum number of vertices, i.e., critical points of geodesic curvature, of closed curves in M. In particular we show that the space forms with…

We prove that a closed negatively curved analytic Riemannian manifold that contains infinitely many totally geodesic hypersurfaces is isometric to an arithmetic hyperbolic manifold. Equivalently, any closed analytic Riemannian manifold with…

We prove for the first time a pointwise lower estimate of the normal injectivity radius of an embedded hypersurface in an arbitrary Riemannian manifold. Main applications include: (i) a pointwise lower estimate of the graphing radius of a…

We give a short proof, in the tradition of the classical work of de Giorgi and Miranda on flat space, that the reduced boundary of a set of least perimeter in a Riemannian manifold of dimension $\leq 7$ is a smooth minimal hypersurfaces.

We demonstrate the existence of branched immersed 2-spheres with prescribed mean curvature, with controlled Morse index and with arbitrary codimensions in closed Riemannian manifold $N$ admitting finite fundamental group, where $\pi_k(N)…

In this paper we find, for any arbitrary finite topological type, a compact Riemann surface $\mathcal{M},$ an open domain $M\subset\mathcal{M}$ with the fixed topological type, and a conformal complete minimal immersion $X:M\to\R^3$ which…

We introduce the notion of translational Riemannian manifolds and define a Gauss map for orientable immersed hypersurfaces lying in these ambients, an associated translational curvature and prove a Gauss-Bonnet theorem. We also use this…

We prove a universal lower bound for the $L^{n/2}$-norm of the Weyl tensor in terms of the Betti numbers for compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that are conformally immersed as hypersurfaces in the Euclidean space. As a…

We show that for an immersed two-sided minimal surface in $R^3$, there is a lower bound on the index depending on the genus and number of ends. Using this, we show the nonexistence of an embedded minimal surface in $R^3$ of index $2$, as…
