We study the holographic entanglement entropy for singular surfaces in theories described holographically by hyperscaling violating backgrounds. We consider singular surfaces consisting of cones or creases in diverse dimensions. The…

In this paper, we study tropicalisations of singular surfaces in toric threefolds. We completely classify singular tropical surfaces of maximal-dimensional type, show that they can generically have only finitely many singular points, and…

We study area-minimizing hypersurfaces in singular ambient manifolds whose tangent cones have nonnegative scalar curvature on their regular parts. We prove that the singular set of the hypersurface has codimension at least 3 in our…

We show that any closed connected hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with entropy less than or equal to that of the round cylinder is smoothly isotopic to the standard three-sphere.

In this paper, we give the maximum of the numbers $n$ such that we can take $n$ simple closed geodesics without singularities that are disjoint to each other for translation surfaces in the hyperelliptic components $\mathcal{H}^{\rm…

The Ryu-Takayanagi prescription reduces the problem of calculating entanglement entropy in CFTs to the determination of minimal surfaces in a dual anti-de Sitter geometry. For 3D gravity theories and BTZ black holes, we identify the minimal…

For a given quantum field theory, provided the area of the entangling surface is fixed, what surface maximizes entanglement entropy? We analyze the answer to this question in four and higher dimensions. Surprisingly, in four dimensions the…

We prove that sufficiently low-entropy closed hypersurfaces can be perturbed so that their mean curvature flow encounters only spherical and cylindrical singularities. Our theorem applies to all closed surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with…

We construct an explicit family of finite-area, infinite-genus translation surfaces whose vertical translation flow is strongly mixing. This provides a positive answer to a question posed by Lindsey and Trevi\~no~\cite{LT}

A {\em $1-$vertex triangulation} of an oriented compact surface $S$ of genus $g$ is an embedded graph $T\subset S$ with a unique vertex such that all connected components of $S\setminus T$ are triangles (adjacent to exactly 3 edges of $T$).…

In loop quantum gravity, the area element of embedded spatial surfaces is given by a well-defined operator. We further characterize the quantized geometry of such surfaces by proposing definitions for operators quantizing scalar curvature…

We introduce an elementary transformation called flips on tilings by squares and triangles and conjecture that it connects any two tilings of the same region of the Euclidean plane.

A translation surface is a surface formed by identifying edges of a collection of polygons in the complex plane that are parallel and of equal length using only translations. We determined that the same circle packing can be realized on…

We study surfaces in Euclidean space ${\mathbb R}^3$ that are minimal for a log-linear density $\phi(x,y,z)=\alpha x+\beta y+\gamma y$, where $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ are real numbers not all zero. We prove that if a surface is $\phi$-minimal…
