We give existence and nonuniqueness results for simple planar curves with prescribed geodesic curvature.
We are concerned with spacelike convex hypersurfaces of positive constant (K-hypersurfaces) or prescribed Gauss curvature in Minkowski space. Our main purpose is to study entire solutions as well as the Dirichlet problem in bounded domains…
Let $(M,g)$ be a complete three dimensional Riemannian manifold with boundary $\partial M$. Given smooth functions $K(x)>0$ and $c(x)$ defined on $M$ and $\partial M$, respectively, it is natural to ask whether there exist metrics conformal…

In this article we give a criterion for the existence of a metric of curvature $1$ on a $2$-sphere with $n$ conical singularities of prescribed angles $2\pi\vartheta_1,\dots,2\pi\vartheta_n$ and non-coaxial holonomy. Such a necessary and…

A class of surfaces-graphs in a Riemannian 3-space with a prescribed projection of one field of principal directions onto a surface $\Pi$ is considered. A problem of determination of such surfaces when both principal curvatures are given…
We give a new existence proof for closed hypersurfaces of prescribed mean curvature in Lorentzian manifolds.
A (positive) locally convex curve in the 2-sphere is a curve with positive geodesic curvature (i.e., which always turns left). In the 3-sphere, it is a curve with positive torsion. In this work we discussed the topology of spaces of such…
The study of radial prescribing scalar curvature of X.Xu and P.C.Yang [2] in 1993 showed a nonexistence result on $S^2$. Later in 1995, W.Chen and C.Li [2] generalized the nonexistence result to higher dimensions. G.Bianchi and E.Egnell [1]…
In this paper, we investigate Hessian curvature hypersurfaces with prescribed Gauss images. Given geodesically strictly convex bounded domains $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $\tilde{\Omega}$ in the unit hemisphere, we prove that there is a…
We study and solve the Dirichlet problem for graphs of prescribed mean curvature in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ over general domains $\Omega$ without requiring a mean convexity assumption. By using pieces of nodoids as barriers we first give…

The aim of the paper is to present numerical results supporting the presence of conformal invariance in three dimensional statistical mechanics models at criticality and to elucidate the geometric aspects of universality. As a case study we…
The existence of closed hypersurfaces of prescribed curvature in globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds is proved provided there are barriers.
The gluing technique is used to construct hypersurfaces in Euclidean space having approximately constant prescribed mean curvature. These surfaces are perturbations of unions of finitely many spheres of the same radius assembled end-to-end…
