In this paper, we solve the longstanding Gaussian curvature conjecture of a minimal graph $S$ over the unit disk. The conjecture asserts that for any minimal graph above the unit disk, the Gaussian curvature at the point directly above the…

We survey our recent results on classifying complete constant mean curvature 1 (CMC-1) surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space with low total curvature. There are two natural notions of "total curvature"-- one is the total absolute curvature which…

In this paper, firstly, we show the existence of a compact embedded constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurface $\Sigma_1$ in $\mathbb{S}^{2n}$ of the type $S^{n-1} \times S^{n-1} \times S^{1}$. Moreover, the hypersurface $\Sigma_1$ exhibits…

In this paper we prove a symmetry result on submanifolds of codimension one in a n + 1-dimensional space form, related to the geodesic distance function and to the normal curvature of some fixed vector field. As applications we will prove…

We prove that hypersurfaces of $\R^{n+1}$ which are almost extremal for the Reilly inequality on $\lambda_1$ and have $L^p$-bounded mean curvature ($p>n$) are Hausdorff close to a sphere, have almost constant mean curvature and have a…

We study mean curvature flow in $\mathbb S_K^{n+1}$, the round sphere of sectional curvature $K>0$, under the quadratic curvature pinching condition $|A|^{2} < \frac{1}{n-2} H^{2} + 4 K$ when $n\ge 4$ and $|A|^{2} <…

In this paper we show rigidity results for super-solutions to fully nonlinear elliptic conformally invariant equations on subdomains of the standard $n$-sphere $\mathbb S^n$ under suitable conditions along the boundary. We emphasize that…

In this paper, we study four dimensional hypersurface M^4_r with proper mean curvature vector field (i.e. \Delta\vec{H} is proportional to \vec{H}) in pseudo-Riemannian space form N^5_s(c), and show that it has constant mean curvature, and…

We prove a sharp inequality for hypersurfaces in the n-dimensional Anti-deSitter-Schwarzschild manifold for general n greater or equal to 3. This inequality generalizes the classical Minkowski inequality for surfaces in the three…

In this work, complete constant mean curvature 1 (CMC-1) surfaces in hyperbolic 3-space with total absolute curvature at most 4 pi are classified. This classification suggests that the Cohn-Vossen inequality can be sharpened for surfaces…

We show that closed starshaped hypersurfaces of space forms with almost constant mean curvature or almost constant higher order mean curvature are closed to geodesic spheres.

We construct stable minimal hypersurfaces with simple topology in certain compact $4$-manifolds $X$ with boundary, where $X$ embeds into a smooth manifold homeomorphic to $S^4$. For example, if $X$ is equipped with a Riemannian metric $g$…

In 3-dimensional Euclidean space, Scherk second surfaces are singly periodic embedded minimal surfaces with four planar ends. In this paper, we obtain a natural generalization of these minimal surfaces in any higher dimensional Euclidean…

We give the first rigorous construction of complete, embedded self-shrinking hypersurfaces under mean curvature flow, since Angenent's torus in 1989. The surfaces exist for any sufficiently large prescribed genus $g$, and are non-compact…

Let $(M^{n+1},g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold of dimension $3\le n+1\le 5$. We show that, if the metric $g$ is generic or if the metric $g$ has positive Ricci curvature, then $M$ contains infinitely many geometrically distinct constant…

We extend to Minkowski spaces the classical result of Barbosa and do Carmo [1] that characterizes the euclidean sphere as the unique compact stable CMC hypersurface of $\mathbb R^n$. More precisely, if $K$ is a smooth convex body in…

We discuss several kinds of Willmore surfaces of flat normal bundle in this paper. First we show that every S-Willmore surface with flat normal bundle in $S^n$ must locate in some $S^3\subset S^n$, from which we characterize Clifford torus…

Let M be an almost Hermitian manifold of dimension greater or equal to 6. The following theorems are proved: Theorem 1. If M is of pointwise constant {\theta}-holomorphic sectional curvature for a number {\theta} in (0,{\pi}/2) then M is of…

We classify the hypersurfaces of $\Sf^n\times \R$ and $\Hy^n\times \R$ with constant sectional curvature and dimension $n\geq 3$.
