We show that absolutely minimizing functions relative to a convex Hamiltonian $H:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ are uniquely determined by their boundary values under minimal assumptions on $H.$ Along the way, we extend the known equivalences…

We consider three dimensional piecewise linear cones in $\mathbb{R}^4$ that are mass minimizing w.r.t. Lipschitz maps in the sense of \cite{almgren1976existence} as in \cite{Taylor76}. There are three that arise naturally by taking products…

In this work, we consider a specific space of foliations with $C^1$ leaves and H\"older holonomies of the square $M=[0,1]^2$, with some topology and we show that a generic such foliation is non-absolutely continuous, furthermore, the…

A foliation on a manifold M can be informally thought of as a partition of M into injectively immersed submanifolds, called leaves. In this thesis we study foliations whose leaves carry some specific geometric structures. The thesis…

We call a foliation $\mathcal{F}$ on a compact manifold infinitesimally rigid if its deformation cohomology $H^{1}(\mathcal{F},N\mathcal{F})$ vanishes. This paper studies infinitesimal rigidity for a distinguished class of Riemannian…

We prove that the finite generation of adjoint rings proved in [Cascini and Lazi\'c] implies all the foundational results of the Minimal Model Program: the Rationality, Cone and Contraction theorems, the existence of flips, and termination…

We establish parabolicity and quadratic area growth for minimal surfaces-with-boundary contained in regions of R^3 which are within a sub-logarithmic factor of the exterior of a cone. Unlike previous work showing that these two properties…

In this paper, we consider the regularity of weak solutions (in an appropriate space) to the elliptic partial differential equation \begin{equation*} (-\Delta_{p})^{s} u + (-\Delta_{q})^{s} u = f(x) \quad \text{in} \quad \mathbb{R}^{N},…

Given $X$ a cominuscule Grassmannian (or irreducible Hermitian symmetric space) and an integer $p,$ we compute the minimum $l(p)$ such that $H^0 (\Omega^p_X (l(p)))$ is not 0. This allows us to conclude that any codimension-one foliation of…

A set of locally finite perimeter $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is called an anisotropic minimal surface in an open set $A$ if $\Phi(E;A) \le \Phi(F;A)$ for some surface energy $\Phi(E;A) = \int_{\partial^{*}E \cap A} \| \nu_{E}\| d…

We prove Wilking's Conjecture about the completeness of dual leaves for the case of Riemannian foliations on nonnegatively curved symmetric spaces. Moreover, we conclude that such foliations split as a product of trivial foliations and a…

There are several methods for proving the existence of the solution to the elliptic boundary problem $Lu=f \text{\,\, in\,\,} D,\quad u|_S=0,\quad (*)$. Here $L$ is an elliptic operator of second order, $f$ is a given function, and…

Let $V$ be a finite tree with radially decaying weights. We show that there exists a set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ for which the following two problems are equivalent: (1) Given a (real-valued) function $\phi$ on the leaves of $V$, extend it…

We prove minimax theorems for lower semicontinuous functions defined on a Hilbert space. The main tool is the theory of $\Phi$-convex functions and sufficient and necessary conditions for the minimax equality to hold for $\Phi$-convex…

We study transverse conformal Killing forms on foliations and prove a Gallot-Meyer theorem for foliations. Moreover, we show that on a foliation with $C$-positive normal curvature, if there is a closed basic 1-form $\phi$ such that…

We partially resolve a conjecture of Meeks on the asymptotic behavior of minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with quadratic area growth.

We prove a comparison theorem for super- and sub-solutions with non-vanishing gradients to semilinear PDEs provided a nonlinearity $f$ is $L^p$ function with $p > 1$. The proof is based on a strong maximum principle for solutions of…

Given a closed two dimensional manifold, we prove a general existence result for a class of elliptic PDEs with exponential nonlinearities and negative Dirac deltas on the right-hand side, extending a theory recently obtained for the regular…

We find classes of projective manifolds that are elliptic in the sense of Gromov and such that the affine cones over these manifolds also are elliptic off their vertices. For example, the latter holds for any generalized flag manifold of…
