We characterize all compact embedded stable minimal capillary surfaces with capillary angle close to either $0$ or $\pi$ that are supported on a complete embedded minimal surface with finite total curvature that is not an affine plane.…
We prove a local rigidity result for infinitesimally rigid capillary surfaces in some Riemannian $3$-manifolds with mean convex boundary. We also derive bounds on the genus, number of boundary components and area of any compact two-sided…

We consider the relationship of the geometry of compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary to the first nonzero eigenvalue sigma_1 of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map (Steklov eigenvalue). For surfaces Sigma with genus gamma and k boundary…
We study stable immersed capillary hypersurfaces in a domain $\mathcal B$ which is either a half-space or a slab in the Euclidean space $\Bbb R^{n+1}.$ We prove that such a hypersurface $\Sigma$ is rotationally symmetric in the following…
We study stable immersed capillary hypersurfaces $\Sigma$ in domains B of R n+1 bounded by hyperplanes. When B is a half-space, we show $\Sigma$ is a spherical cap. When B is a domain bounded by k hyperplanes P 1 ,. .. , P k , 2 $\le$ k…
The restricted Delaunay triangulation of a closed surface $\Sigma$ and a finite point set $V \subset \Sigma$ is a subcomplex of the Delaunay tetrahedralization of $V$ whose triangles approximate $\Sigma$. It is well known that if $V$ is a…
By refining the volume estimate of Heintze and Karcher \cite{HK}, we obtain a sharp pinching estimate for the genus of a surface in $\mathbb S^{3}$, which involves an integral of the norm of its traceless second fundamental form. More…
We show that an immersed minimal annulus, with two planar boundary curves along which the surface meets these planes with constant contact angle, is part of the catenoid.
For each parameter $a>1$, the critical hyperbolic catenoid $\Sigma_a$ is a rotationally symmetric, free boundary minimal annulus in a geodesic ball $B^3(r(a))\subset\mathbb{H}^3$. The Morse index of $\Sigma_a$ is at least $4$ by Medvedev…
We apply the Riemannian Penrose inequality and the Riemannian positive mass theorem to derive inequalities on the boundary of a class of compact Riemannian $3$-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature. The boundary of such a manifold has…
The purpose of this paper is to study immersed surfaces in the product spaces $\mathbb{M}^2(\kappa)\times\mathbb{R}$, whose mean curvature is given as a $C^1$ function depending on their angle function. This class of surfaces extends…
In $\mathbb{S}^2 \times \mathbb{R}$ there is a two-parameter family of properly embedded minimal annuli foliated by circles. In this paper we show that this family contains all properly embedded minimal annuli. We use the description of…
We prove that compact 3-manifolds $M$ of constant curvature +1 with boundary a minimal surface are locally naturally parametrized by the conformal class of the boundary metric $\gamma$ in the Teichmuller space of $\partial M$, when…
This article explains a program to study complete and properly embedded minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ developed jointly with W.H. Meeks and A. Ros in the last three decades. It follows closely the structure of my invited ICM talk with…
We study complete finite topology immersed surfaces $\Sigma$ in complete Riemannian $3$-manifolds $N$ with sectional curvature $K_N\leq -a^2\leq 0$, such that the absolute mean curvature function of $\Sigma$ is bounded from above by $a$ and…
Given a compact closed subset $M$ of a line segment in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we construct a sequence of minimal surfaces $\Sigma_k$ embedded in a neighborhood $C$ of the line segment that converge smoothly to a limit lamination of $C$ away from…
We prove existence and regularity of metrics on a surface with boundary which maximize sigma_1 L where sigma_1 is the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue and L the boundary length. We show that such metrics arise as the induced metrics on free…
In this work, we consider $M=(\mathbb{B}^3_r,\bar{g})$ as the Euclidean three-ball with radius $r$ equipped with the metric $\bar{g}=e^{2h}\left\langle , \right\rangle$ conformal to the Euclidean metric. We show that if a free boundary CMC…
