We apply the Riemannian Penrose inequality and the Riemannian positive mass theorem to derive inequalities on the boundary of a class of compact Riemannian $3$-manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature. The boundary of such a manifold has…

Embedded minimal surfaces of finite total curvature in $\mathbb{R}^3$ are reasonably well understood: From far away, they look like intersecting catenoids and planes, suitably desingularized. We consider the larger class of harmonic…

In this paper we prove that a complete, embedded minimal surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with finite topology and compact boundary (possibly empty) is conformally a compact Riemann surface $\overline{M}$ with boundary punctured in a finite…

We prove a compactness result for capillary hypersurfaces with mean curvature prescribed by ambient functions, which generalizes the results of Sch\"atzle and Bellettini to the capillary case. The proof relies on extending the definition of…

We prove $\varepsilon$-regularity theorems for varifolds with capillary boundary condition in a Riemannian manifold. These varifolds were first introduced by Kagaya-Tonegawa \cite{KaTo}. We establish a uniform first variation control for…

By refining the volume estimate of Heintze and Karcher \cite{HK}, we obtain a sharp pinching estimate for the genus of a surface in $\mathbb S^{3}$, which involves an integral of the norm of its traceless second fundamental form. More…

We establish curvature estimates and a convexity result for mean convex properly embedded $[\varphi,\vec{e}_{3}]$-minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$, i.e., $\varphi$-minimal surfaces when $\varphi$ depends only on the third coordinate of…

In this paper we investigate constant mean curvature surfaces with nonempty boundary in Euclidean space that meet a right cylinder at a constant angle along the boundary. If the surface lies inside of the cylinder, we obtain some results of…

We extend Struwe's result (Acta Math., 1988) on the existence of free boundary constant mean curvature disks to almost every prescribed boundary contact angle in $(0, \pi)$. Specifically, let $\Sigma$ be a surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$…

We consider a classical (capillary) model for a one-phase liquid in equilibrium. The liquid (e.g. water) is subject to a volume constraint, it does not mix with the surrounding vapour (e.g. air), it may come into contact with solid supports…

We show that in a closed 3-manifold with a generic metric of positive Ricci curvature, there are minimal surfaces of arbitrary large Morse index, which partially confirms a conjecture by F. Marques and A. Neves. We prove this by analyzing…

We first study $f$-biharmonicity of totally umbilical hypersurfaces in a generic Riemannian manifold and then prove that any totally umbilical proper $f$-biharmonic hypersurface in a nonpositively curved manifold has to be noncompact. We…

In this paper we obtain density estimates for compact surfaces immersed in R^n with total boundary curvature less than 4pi and with sufficiently small L^p norm of the mean curvature, p>2. Our results generalize the main results in [2]. We…
