In our book on cohomological methods in transformation groups the minimal Hirsch-Brown model was used to good effect. The construction there, however, was rather abstract. Here, for smooth compact connected Lie group actions on smooth…

We use an elliptic differential equation of Tzitzeica type to construct a minimal Lagrangian surface in CH2 from the data of a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface and a small holomorphic cubic differential. The minimal Lagrangian surface is…

We classify real families of minimal degree rational curves that cover an embedded rational surface. A corollary is that if the projective closure of a smooth surface is not biregular isomorphic to the projective closure of the unit-sphere,…

We investigate the topological structures of Galois covers of surfaces of minimal degree (i.e., degree n) in n+1 dimensional complex projective space. We prove that for n is greater than or equal to 5, the Galois covers of any surfaces of…

In this paper, we construct and classify minimal surfaces foliated by horizontal constant curvature curves in product manifolds $M \times \R$, where $M$ is the hyperbolic plane, the Euclidean plane or the two dimensional sphere. The main…

We present two versions of a method for generating all triangulations of any punctured surface in each of these two families: (1) triangulations with inner vertices of degree at least 4 and boundary vertices of degree at least 3 and (2)…

Extending work of Kapouleas and Yang, for any integers $N \geq 2$, $k, \ell \geq 1$, and $m$ sufficiently large, we apply gluing methods to construct in the round $3$-sphere a closed embedded minimal surface that has genus $k\ell…

The aim of this paper is to present a construction of smooth rational surfaces in projective fourspace with degree 12 and sectional genus 13. The construction is based on exterior algebra methods, finite field searches and standard…

First, we classify proper biharmonic Hopf real hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{C}P^2$. Next, we classify proper biharmonic real hypersurfaces with two distinct principal curvatures in $\mathbb{C}P^n$, where $n\geq 2$. Finally, we prove that…

A concise method for following the evolving geometry of a moving surface using Lagrangian coordinates is described. All computations can be done in the fixed geometry of the initial surface despite the evolving complexity of the moving…

We give a classification of rotational cmc surfaces in non-Euclidean space forms in terms of explicit parametrizations using Jacobi elliptic functions. Our method hinges on a Lie sphere geometric description of rotational linear Weingarten…

So far only six families of smooth irregular surfaces are known to exist in P^4 (up to pullbacks by suitable finite covers of P^4). These are the elliptic quintic scrolls, the minimal abelian and bielliptic surfaces (of degree 10), two…

We classify the smallest finite volume complex hyperbolic surfaces with cusps which admit smooth toroidal compactifications and which are not birational to a bi-elliptic surface. Remarkably, there is only one such surface which appears to…

We classify the minimum volume smooth complex hyperbolic surfaces that admit smooth toroidal compactifications, and we explicitly construct their compactifications. There are five such surfaces and they are all arithmetic, i.e., they are…

In this paper we study minimal and constant mean curvature (cmc) periodic surfaces in H^2 x R. More precisely, we consider quotients of H^2 x R by discrete groups of isometries generated by horizontal hyperbolic translations f and/or a…

Since J. L. Lagrange initiated in 1760 the study of minimal surfaces of Euclidean 3-space, minimal surfaces in real space forms have been studied extensively by many mathematicians during the last two and half centuries. In contrast, so far…

We prove that the complex surfaces parametrizing cuboids and face cuboids, as well as their minimal resolution of singularities, have trivial fundamental group. We then compute the fundamental group of certain open smooth subvarieties of…

We suggest a new definition for discrete minimal surfaces in terms of sphere packings with orthogonally intersecting circles. These discrete minimal surfaces can be constructed from Schramm's circle patterns. We present a variational…
