The Laplace-Beltrami problem on closed surfaces embedded in three dimensions arises in many areas of physics, including molecular dynamics (surface diffusion), electromagnetics (harmonic vector fields), and fluid dynamics (vesicle…
In the search of a mathematical basis for quantum mechanics, in order to render it self-consistent and rationally understandable, we find that the best approach is to adopt E. Cartan's way for discovering spinors; that is to start from…
We found a new formulation to the Euler-Lagrange equation of the Willmore functional for immersed surfaces in ${\R}^m$. This new formulation of Willmore equation appears to be of divergence form, moreover, the non-linearities are made of…
We construct using variational methods Hamiltonian Stationary Surfaces with Isolated Schoen-Wolfson Conical Singularities. We obtain these surfaces through a convergence process reminiscent to the Ginzburg-Landau asymptotic analysis in the…

We present a global representation for surfaces in 3-dimensional hyperbolic space with constant mean curvature 1 (CMC-1 surfaces) in terms of holomorphic spinors. This is a modification of Bryant's representation. It is used to derive…
We obtain the Weierstrass-Enneper representation for maximal graphs(whose Gauss map is one-one) in Lorentz-Minkowski space. For this we use the method of Barbishov and Chernikov, which they have used to find the solutions of Born-Infeld…
We develop the calculus for hypersurface variations based on variation of the hypersurface defining function. This is used to show that the functional gradient of a new Willmore-like, conformal hypersurface energy agrees exactly with the…
By using symplectic Majorana spinors as Grassmann coordinates in a superspace associated with the supersymmetric extension of the isometry group on the spherical surface S_2, it proves possible to formulate supersymmetric models on S_2…
Soliton surfaces associated with CP^{N-1} sigma models are constructed using the Generalized Weierstrass and the Fokas-Gel'fand formulas for immersion of 2D surfaces in Lie algebras. The considered surfaces are defined using continuous…

In this informal expository note, we quickly introduce and survey compactifications of strata of holomorphic 1-forms on Riemann surfaces, i.e. spaces of translation surfaces. In the last decade, several of these have been constructed,…
We describe spinors in Minkowskian spaces with arbitrary signature and their role in the classification of space-time superalgebras and their R-symmetries in any dimension.
Flows on the moduli space of the algebraic Riemann surfaces, preserving the periods of the corresponding solutions of the soliton equations are studied. We show that these flows are gradient with respect to some indefinite symmetric flat…
The aim of this paper is to extend the so called slice analysis to a general case in which the codomain is a real vector space of even dimension, i.e. is of the form $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. We define a cone $\mathcal{W}_\mathcal{C}^d$ in…
In the work \cite{Laredo} the author shows that every hypersurface in Euclidean space is locally associated to the unit sphere by a sphere congruence, whose radius function $R$ is a geometric invariant of hypersurface. In this paper we…

We compute holographic one-point functions for Wilson surfaces in the case of a toroidal surface operator. Compared to the cases of a planar or spherical surface operator, these one-point functions exhibit a more intricate dependence on the…
