In this note we construct smooth bounded domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^2$, other than disks, for which the overdetermined problem $$ \left\{ \begin{alignedat}{2} \Delta u + \lambda u &= 0 &\qquad& \text{ in } \Omega, \newline u &= b…
We obtain a gradient estimate for the Gauss maps from complete spacelike constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in Minkowski space into the hyperbolic space. As applications, we prove a Bernstein theorem which says that if the image of the…
In this paper we study an extension of the Bernstein Theorem for minimal spacelike surfaces of the four dimensional Minkowski vector space form and we obtain the class of those surfaces which are also graphics and have non-zero Gauss…
We show that, for every n and every surface $\Sigma$, there is a graph U embeddable on $\Sigma$ with at most cn^2 vertices that contains as minor every graph embeddable on $\Sigma$ with n vertices. The constant c depends polynomially on the…

We derive estimates of the Hessian of two smooth functions defined on Grassmannian manifold. Based on it, we can derive curvature estimates for minimal submanifolds in Euclidean space via Gauss map. In this way, the result for Bernstein…
We investigate the problem $$-\Delta u = \lambda b(x)|u|^{q-2}u +a(x)|u|^{p-2}u \mbox{ in } \Omega, \quad \frac{\partial u}{\partial \mathbf{n}} = 0 \mbox{ on } \partial \Omega, \leqno{(P_\lambda)} $$ where $\Omega$ is a bounded smooth…
We consider the following problem: minimize the functional $\int_\Omega f(\nabla u(x))\, dx$ in the class of concave functions $u: \Omega \to [0,M]$, where $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is a convex body and $M > 0$. If $f(x) = 1/(1 +…
We show that every bordered Riemann surface, $M$, with smooth boundary $bM$ admits a proper holomorphic map $M\to \Omega$ into any bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^n$, $n>1$, extending to a smooth map $f:\overline…
Consider a domain D in R^3 which is convex (possibly all R^3) or which is smooth and bounded. Given any open surface M, we prove that there exists a complete, proper minimal immersion f : M --> D. Moreover, if D is smooth and bounded, then…
In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a graphical strip in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$ to be area-minimizing in the slab $\{-1<x<1\}$. We show that our condition is necessary by introducing a family of…
In recent work by Zimmer it was proved that if $\Omega\subset\mathbb C^n$ is a bounded convex domain with $C^\infty$-smooth boundary, then $\Omega$ is strictly pseudoconvex provided that the squeezing function approaches one as one…
We prove that entire solutions of the minimal hypersurface equation \[ \mathrm{div}\left(\frac{Du}{\sqrt{1+|Du|^2}}\right) = 0 \] on a complete manifold with $\mathrm{Ric} \ge 0$, whose negative part grows like $\mathcal{O}(r/\log r)$ ($r$…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be a domain whose Bergman space contains all holomorphic monomials. We derive sufficient conditions for $\Omega$ to be Reinhardt, complete Reinhardt, circular or Hartogs in terms of the orthogonality…
We consider a helicoidal group $G$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and unbounded $G$-invariant $C^{2,\alpha}$-domains $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ whose helicoidal projections are exterior domains in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n\geq2$. We show that for…
In this expository article we revisit the Bernstein problem for several geometric PDEs including the minimal surface, Monge-Amp\`{e}re, and special Lagrangian equations. We also discuss the minimal surface system where appropriate. The…
A weighted area estimate for entire graphs with bounded weighted mean curvature in Gauss space is given by a simple proof. Bernstein type theorems for self shrinkers (\cite {wa}) as well as for graphic $\lambda$-hypersurfaces (\cite{…
We study the minimal surface equation in the Heisenberg space, Nil_3. A geometric proof of non existence of minimal graphs over non convex, bounded and unbounded domains is achieved (our proof holds in the Euclidean space as well). We solve…
