We construct examples of complete Riemannian manifolds having the property that every geodesic lies in a totally geodesic hyperbolic plane. Despite the abundance of totally geodesic hyperbolic planes, these examples are not locally…

We show that a globally hyperbolic spacetime containing a trapped surface and satisfying the strong energy condition and a condition on certain radial tidal forces must be timelike geodesically incomplete. This constitutes a "timelike"…

We show that the combination of non-negative sectional curvature (or $2$-intermediate Ricci curvature) and strict positivity of scalar curvature forces rigidity of complete (non-compact) two-sided stable minimal hypersurfaces in a…

Using the standard Whitney topologies on spaces of Lorentzian metrics, we show that the existence of causal incomplete geodesics is a $C^\infty$-generic feature within the class of spacetimes of a given dimension $n\geq 3$ that are stably…

In this paper, we study some classes of submanifolds of codimension one and two in the Page space. These submanifolds are totally geodesic. We also compute their curvature and show that some of them are constant curvature spaces. Finally we…

This paper is concerned with the completeness (with respect to the centroaffine metric) of hyperbolic centroaffine hypersurfaces which are closed in the ambient vector space. We show that completeness holds under generic regularity…

We prove a topological rigidity theorem for closed hypersurfaces of the Euclidean sphere and of an elliptic space form. It asserts that, under a lower bound hypothesis on the absolute value of the principal curvatures, the hypersurface is…

We study constant mean curvature spacelike hypersurfaces and in particular maximal hypersurfaces immersed in pp-wave spacetimes satisfying the timelike convergence condition. We prove the non-existence of compact spacelike hypersurfaces…

We study codimension-two spacelike submanifolds in Lorentzian spacetimes that admit umbilical lightlike normal directions. We show that such submanifolds are subject to strong geometric and topological constraints, establishing explicit…

We show that every orientable infinite-type surface is properly rigid as a consequence of a more general result. Namely, we prove that if a homotopy equivalence between any two non-compact orientable surfaces is a proper map, then it is…

Let $M$ be a closed hyperbolic manifold containing a totally geodesic hypersurface $S$, and let $N$ be a closed Riemannian manifold homotopy equivalent to $M$ with sectional curvature bounded above by $-1$. Then it follows from the work of…
