Given a closed complex hypersurface $Z\subset \mathbb{C}^{N+1}$ $(N\in\mathbb{N})$ and a compact subset $K\subset Z$, we prove the existence of a pseudoconvex Runge domain $D$ in $Z$ such that $K\subset D$ and there is a complete proper…

We study unknottedness for free boundary minimal surfaces in a three-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and strictly convex boundary, and for self-shrinkers in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. For doing…

We prove the existence of free boundary minimal annuli inside suitably convex subsets of three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature $-$ including strictly convex domains of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$.

Fraser-Sargent surfaces are free boundary minimal surfaces in the four-dimensional unit Euclidean ball. Extended infinitely they define immersed minimal surfaces in the Euclidean space. In the present paper we compute the Morse index and…

Given a compact surface with boundary, we introduce a family of functionals on the space of its Riemannian metrics, defined via eigenvalues of a Steklov-type problem. We prove that each such functional is uniformly bounded from above, and…

We show that, among free boundary minimal surfaces in the unit ball in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, the flat equatorial disk and the critical catenoid are characterised by a pinching condition on the length of their second…

This paper develops new tools for understanding surfaces with more than one end (and usually, of infinite topology) which properly minimally embed into Euclidean three-space. On such a surface, the set of ends forms a compact Hausdorff…

We show that a minimal surface meeting a sphere at a 90-degree angle can be reflected across the sphere. Using this reflection, we prove the uniqueness that every embedded free boundary minimal annulus in a ball is necessarily the critical…
