In this paper, we study Lorentzian biconservative hypersurfaces for which the gradient of their mean curvature $H$ is lightlike, i.e. $\langle \gr H,\gr H\rangle=0$. We establish the non-existence of such hypersurfaces in the Minkowski…

The purpose in this paper is to study the maximal hypersurfaces with multiple light-cones in Lorentz-Minkowski space by considering the weak solutions to the mean curvature equation with multiple Dirac masses. Such solutions are constructed…

The deformation theory of a Dirac structure is controlled by a differential graded Lie algebra which depends on the choice of an auxiliary transversal Dirac structure; if the transversal is not involutive, one obtains an $L_\infty$ algebra…

We study a natural Dirac operator on a Lagrangian submanifold of a K\"ahler manifold. We first show that its square coincides with the Hodge-de Rham Laplacian provided the complex structure identifies the Spin structures of the tangent and…

The existence of closed hypersurfaces of prescribed curvature in globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds is proved provided there are barriers.
