We study the problem of finding a minimal graph with prescribed boundary data in arbitrary dimension and codimension. Existence, uniqueness, stability and regularity are treated. We first present the well-known results for codimension one:…
In this note, we derive a uniqueness theorem for minimal graphs of general codimension under certain restrictions closed related to the convexity (not strict convexity) of the area functional with respect to singular values, improving the…
In this note we will prove that an $n$ dimensional graphic self-shrinker in $R^{n+m}$ with flat normal bundle is a linear subspace. This result is a generalization of the corresponding result of Lu Wang in codimension one case.
Given any $n \geq 2$, we show that if $\Omega \subsetneq \mathbb{R}^n$ is an open convex domain (e.g. a half-space), and $u : \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ is a solution to the minimal surface equation which agrees with a linear function on…
Based on a calibration argument, we prove a Bernstein type theorem for entire minimal graphs over Gauss space $\mathbb{G}^n$ by a simple proof.
Calabi's Bernstein-type theorem asserts that a zero mean curvature entire graph in Lorentz-Minkowski space $\boldsymbol L^3$ which admits only space-like points is a space-like plane. Using the fluid mechanical duality between minimal…
We consider minimal maps $f:M\to N$ between Riemannian manifolds $(M,\mathrm{g}_M)$ and $(N,\mathrm{g}_N)$, where $M$ is compact and where the sectional curvatures satisfy $\sec_N\le \sigma\le \sec_M$ for some $\sigma>0$. Under certain…
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{…
Let $M$ be an $n$-dimensional smooth oriented complete embedded minimal hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with Euclidean volume growth. We show that if the image under the Gauss map of $M$ avoids some neighborhood of a half-equator, then…
Under suitable conditions on the range of the Gauss map of a complete submanifold of Euclidean space with parallel mean curvature, we construct a strongly subharmonic function and derive a-priori estimates for the harmonic Gauss map. The…
The well known Chen's conjecture on biharmonic submanifolds states that a biharmonic submanifold in a Euclidean space is a minimal one ([10-13, 16, 18-21, 8]). For the case of hypersurfaces, we know that Chen's conjecture is true for…
We obtain new curvature estimates and Bernstein type results for minimal $n-$submanifolds in $\ir{n+m},\, m\ge 2$ under the condition that the rank of its Gauss map is at most 2. In particular, this applies to minimal surfaces in Euclidean…
For any collection of graphs we find the minimal dimension d such that the product of these graphs is embeddable into the d-dimensional Euclidean space. In particular, we prove that the n-th powers of the Kuratowsky graphs are not…
In this note, we prove that smooth self-shrinkers in $\Real^{n+1}$, that are entire graphs, are hyperplanes. Previously Ecker and Huisken showed that smooth self-shrinkers, that are entire graphs and have at most polynomial growth, are…
We prove a Bernstein theorem for $\Phi$-anisotropic minimal hypersurfaces in all dimensional Euclidean spaces that the only entire smooth solutions $u: \mathbb{R}^{n}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ of $\Phi$-anisotropic minimal hypersurfaces…
We show that nonlocal minimal cones which are non-singular subgraphs outside the origin are necessarily halfspaces. The proof is based on classical ideas of~\cite{DG1} and on the computation of the linearized nonlocal mean curvature…
Already in $\bf{R}^4$, there are many known examples of minimal hypersurfaces, yet few structural results. We show that minimal submanifolds, of any dimension, that are confined in space are very restricted. It is well-known that the…
We show that directed minimal cones in (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space which have at most one singularity are - besides the trivial cases: empty set, whole space - half spaces. Using blow-up techniques, this result can be used to get…
Similar to Euclidean geometry, graph theory is a science that studies figures that consist of points and lines. The core of Euclidean geometry is the parallel postulate, which provides the basis of the geometric invariant that the sum of…
We extend Smale's singular bridge principle [Ann. of Math. 130 (1989), 603-642] for $n$-dimensional strictly stable minimal cones in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ $(n \geq 7$) to arbitrary codimension and each $n \geq 3$. We then apply the procedure…
