If a variational problem comes with no boundary conditions prescribed beforehand, and yet these arise as a consequence of the variation process itself, we speak of a free boundary values variational problem. Such is, for instance, the…

In this paper, we establish a Heintze-Karcher-type inequality for capillary hypersurfaces in a unit ball. To achieve this, we introduce a special Finsler metric given by Zermelo's navigation and study the geodesic normal flow with respect…

We prove that the 3-D free-surface incompressible Euler equations with regular initial geometries and velocity fields have solutions which can form a finite-time "splash" (or "splat") singularity first introduced in [9], wherein the…

In this paper, we prove the existence of the free boundary minimal hypersurface of least area in compact manifolds with boundary. Such hypersurface can be viewed as the ground state of the volume spectrum introduced by Gromov. Moreover, we…

In the first part of this work we explore the geometry of infinite type surfaces and the relationship between its convex core and space of ends. In particular, we show that a geodesically complete hyperbolic surface is made up of its convex…

The numbers of $\mathbb{F}_q$-points of nonsingular hypersurfaces of a fixed degree in an odd-dimensional projective space are investigated, and an upper bound for them is given. Also we give the complete list of nonsingular hypersurfaces…

If a graph is in bridge position in a 3-manifold so that the graph complement is irreducible and boundary irreducible, we generalize a result of Bachman and Schleimer to prove that the complexity of a surface properly embedded in the…

After introducing the different boundary geometries of rank one symmetric spaces, we state and prove Fried's theorem in the general setting of all those geometries: a closed manifold with a similarity structure is either complete or the…

We first show that an earthquake of a geometrically infinite hyperbolic surface induces an asymptotically conformal change in the hyperbolic metric if and only if the measured lamination associated with the earthquake is asymptotically…

We establish volume comparison results for balls in Riemannian manifolds with $C^{1,1}$-metrics with a lower bound on the Ricci tensor and for the evolution of spacelike, acausal, causally complete hypersurfaces with an upper bound on the…

We consider $\Sigma$ an embedded free boundary minimal annulus in a geodesic ball in the round hemisphere $\mathbb{S}^3_+$ or in the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^3$. Under the hypothesis of invariance due to an antipodal map on the geodesic…

Given a polyhedral surface, assume that it is prohibited to change the shape and size of any face but it is permissible to change the dihedral angles between the faces. A polyhedral surface is said to be flexible if it is possible to change…

We compute conformal anomalies for conformal field theories with free conformal scalars and massless spin $1/2$ fields in hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^d$ and in the ball $\mathbb{B}^d$, for $2\leq d\leq 7$. These spaces are related by a…
