For almost all Riemannian metrics (in the $C^\infty$ Baire sense) on a compact manifold with boundary $(M^{n+1},\partial M)$, $3\leq (n + 1)\leq 7$, we prove that, for any open subset $V$ of $\partial M$, there exists a compact, properly…

We present some geometric applications, of global character, of the bubbling analysis developed by Buzano and Sharp for closed minimal surfaces, obtaining smooth multiplicity one convergence results under upper bounds on the Morse index and…

Given a sequence of properly embedded minimal surfaces in a $3$-manifold with local bounds on area and genus, we prove subsequential convergence, smooth away from a discrete set, to a smooth embedded limit surface, possibly with…

Liebmann's Theorem asserts that a compact, connected, convex surface with constant mean curvature (CMC) in the Euclidean space must be a totally umbilical sphere. In this article we extend Liebmann's result to hypersurfaces with boundary.…

We prove qualitative estimates on the total curvature of closed minimal hypersurfaces in closed Riemannian manifolds in terms of their index and area, restricting to the case where the hypersurface has dimension less than seven. In…

Using the local picture of the degeneration of sequences of minimal surfaces developed by Chodosh, Ketover and Maximo we show that in any closed Riemannian 3-manifold $(M,g)$, the genus of an embedded CMC surface can be bounded only in…

For almost all Riemannian metrics (in the $C^\infty$ Baire sense) on a closed manifold $M^{n+1}$, $3\leq (n+1)\leq 7$, we prove that the union of all closed, smooth, embedded minimal hypersurfaces is dense. This implies there are infinitely…

We introduce a combinatorial argument to study closed minimal hypersurfaces of bounded area and high Morse index. Let $(M^{n+1},g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold and $\Sigma\subset M$ be a closed embedded minimal hypersurface with area at…

In this note we propose a min-max theory for embedded hypersurfaces with a fixed boundary and apply it to prove several theorems about the existence of embedded minimal hypersurfaces with a given boundary. A simpler variant of these…

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 study framed surfaces, which are a class of Euclidean minimal and hyperbolic CMC-1 surfaces that generalize immersed minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and Bryant surfaces. For this class we prove a lower bound on the (unrestricted)…

Consider a sequence of minimal varieties M_i in a Riemannian manifold N such that the boundary measures are uniformly bounded on compact sets. Let Z be the set of points at which the areas of the M_i blow up. We prove that Z behaves in some…

For an immersed minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we show that there exists a lower bound on its Morse index that depends on the genus and number of ends, counting multiplicity. This improves, in several ways, an estimate we previously…
