We prove a version of the strong half-space theorem between the classes of recurrent minimal surfaces and complete minimal surfaces with bounded curvature of $\mathbb{R}^{3}_{\raisepunct{.}}$ We also show that any minimal hypersurface…
We give an invariant nondegeneracy condition for CR--maps between generic submanifolds in different dimensions and use it to prove a reflection principle for these maps.
We construct a subset $A$ of the unit disc with the following properties. (i) The set $A$ is the finite union of disjoint line segments. (ii) The shadow of $A$ is arbitrarily close to the shadow of the unit disc in "most" directions. (iii)…
We investigate the geometric properties of lightlike surfaces in the Minkowski space $\R^{2,1}$, using Cartan's method of moving frames to compute a complete set of local invariants for such surfaces. Using these invariants, we give a…
We improve the current best bound for distinct distances on non-ruled algebraic surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^3$. In particular, we show that $n$ points on such a surface span $\Omega\left(n^{32/39-\varepsilon}\right)$ distinct distances, for…
Isometric class of minimal surfaces in the Euclidean 3-space $\mathbb{R}^3$ has the rigidity: if two simply connected minimal surfaces are isometric, then one of them is congruent to a surface in the specific one-parameter family, called…
Spiral waves in excitable media possess both wave-like and particle-like properties. When resonantly forced (forced at the spiral rotation frequency) spiral cores travel along straight trajectories, but may reflect from medium boundaries.…
In this paper we establish some parabolicity criteria for maximal surfaces immersed into a Lorentzian product space of the form $M^2\times\mathbb{R}_1$, where $M^2$ is a connected Riemannian surface with non-negative Gaussian curvature and…
By work of Uhlenbeck, the largest principal curvature of any least area fiber of a hyperbolic $3$-manifold fibering over the circle is bounded below by one. We give a short argument to show that, along certain families of fibered hyperbolic…
It is well known that the only surfaces that are simultaneously minimal in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and maximal in $\mathbb{L}^3$ are open pieces of helicoids (in the region in which they are spacelike) and of spacelike planes (O. Kobayashi 1983).…
We establish the Schwarz Reflection Principle for $J$-complex discs attached to a real analytic $J$-totally real submanifold of an almost complex manifold with real analytic $J$. We also prove the precise boundary regularity and derive the…
We generalize arc coordinates for maximal representations from a hyperbolic surface with boundary into $\text{PSp}(4,\mathbb{R})$, focusing on the case where the surface is a pair of pants. We introduce geometric parameters within the space…
We develop a min-max theory for the construction of capillary surfaces in 3-manifolds with smooth boundary. In particular, for a generic set of ambient metrics, we prove the existence of nontrivial, smooth, almost properly embedded surfaces…
The general reflection and refraction laws at the metasurface with the abrupt phase shift were derived by two different methods of Fermat's principle and the boundary conditions respectively. It is found that one or two critical angles for…
Continuing [Fuchino, Ottenbreit and Sakai[9, 10]] and [Fuchino and Ottenbreit[11]], we further study reflection principles in connection with the L\"owenheim-Skolem Theorems of stationary logics. In this paper, we mainly analyze the…
In this paper, we prove several fundamental properties on umbilics of a space-like or time-like surface in the Lorentz-Minkowski space $L^3$. In particular, we show that the local behavior of the curvature line flows of the germ of a…
In this paper we study surfaces in Euclidean 3-space that satisfy a Weingarten condition of linear type as $\kappa_1=m \kappa_2 +n$, where $m$ and $n$ are real numbers and $\kappa_1$ and $\kappa_2$ denote the principal curvatures at each…

Recovering the shape and reflectance of non-Lambertian surfaces remains a challenging problem in computer vision since the view-dependent appearance invalidates traditional photo-consistency constraint. In this paper, we introduce a novel…
A microwave lens with highly reduced reflectance, as compared to conventional dielectric lenses, is proposed. The lens is based on two-dimensional or three-dimensional transmission-line networks that can be designed to have an effective…
