Let $M$ be a compact surface and $P$ be either $\mathbb{R}$ or $S^1$. For a smooth map $f:M\to P$ and a closed subset $V\subset M$, denote by $\mathcal{S}(f,V)$ the group of diffeomorphisms $h$ of $M$ preserving $f$, i.e. satisfying the…

In (the surface of) a convex polytope P^3 in R^4, an area-minimizing surface avoids the vertices of P and crosses the edges orthogonally. In a smooth Riemannian manifold M with a group of isometries G, an area-minimizing G-invariant…

Polyhedral surfaces are fundamental objects in architectural geometry and industrial design. Whereas closeness of a given mesh to a smooth reference surface and its suitability for numerical simulations were already studied extensively, the…

We study compact polyhedral surfaces as Riemann surfaces and their discrete counterparts obtained through quadrilateral cellular decompositions and a linear discretization of the Cauchy-Riemann equation. By ensuring uniformly bounded…

In this paper, we introduce a new discretization of the Gaussian curvature on surfaces, which is defined as the quotient of the angle defect and the area of some dual cell of a weighted triangulation at the conic singularity. A discrete…

We study the asymptotic Dirichlet problem for $f$-minimal graphs in Cartan-Hadamard manifolds $M$. $f$-minimal hypersurfaces are natural generalizations of self-shrinkers which play a crucial role in the study of mean curvature flow. In the…

We describe Veech groups of flat surfaces arising from irrational angled polygonal billiards or irreducible stable abelian differentials. For irrational polygonal billiards, we prove that these groups are non-discrete subgroups of SO(2,R)…

We prove that in the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$ with a sub-Finsler structure, an $(X,Y)$-Lipschitz surface which is complete, oriented, connected and stable must be a vertical plane. In particular, the result holds for entire intrinsic…

Here, we focus on focal surfaces of a tubular surface in Euclidean 3-space E^3: Firstly, we give the tubular surfaces with respect to Frenet and Darboux frames. Then, we define focal surfaces of these tubular surfaces. We get some results…

We generalise the notion of the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic K3 surface with a section to the Tate-Shafarevich group of a K3 surface endowed with a linear system. The construction, which uses Grothendieck's special Brauer group,…

We study semigroups generated by general fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators acting on $L2(\mathbb R^n)$. We characterize geometrically the partial Gevrey-type smoothing properties of these semigroups and we sharply describe the blow-up…

We generalize Iskovskih's theorem about surfaces without irregularity and bigenus from the smooth case to regular surfaces over arbitrary fields, with special focus on the case of imperfect fields. This includes surfaces that are…

We investigate the minimal and isoperimetric surface problems in a large class of sub-Riemannian manifolds, the so-called Vertically Rigid spaces. We construct an adapted connection for such spaces and, using the variational tools of…

We give a finite presentation of the mapping class group of an oriented (possibly bounded) surface of genus greater or equal than 1, considering Dehn twists on a very simple set of curves.

Consider a point on a convex surface in $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d \ge 2$ and a plane of support $\Pi$ to the surface at this point. Draw a plane parallel to $\Pi$ cutting a part of the surface. We study the limiting behavior of this part of…

Take a Teichm\"uller disc whose corresponding flat surface has a Veech-Group that contains a parabolic element. We look at its image in Schottkyspace and show that we can always construct a Schottky covering such that this image is not a…

The notions of discrete conformality on triangle meshes have rich mathematical theories and wide applications. The related notions of discrete uniformizations on triangle meshes, suggest efficient methods for computing the uniformizations…

We describe a convex relaxation for the Gilbert-Steiner problem both in $R^d$ and on manifolds, extending the framework proposed in [9], and we discuss its sharpness by means of calibration type arguments. The minimization of the resulting…

For the minimal graph with strict convex level sets, we find an auxiliary function to study the Gaussian curvature of the level sets. We prove that this curvature function is a concave function with respect to the height of the minimal…
