Geometric properties of $N$ random points distributed independently and uniformly on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d}\subset\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with respect to surface area measure are obtained and several related conjectures are posed. In…

The eigenfamilies of Gudmundsson and Sakovich can be used to generate harmonic morphisms, proper $r$-harmonic maps, and minimal co-dimension $2$ submanifolds. This article begins by characterising the globally defined eigenfamilies of the…

Let $(\Sigma,p)$ be a pointed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 1$. For any integer $k\geq 1$, we parametrize the space of meromorphic quadratic differentials on $\Sigma$ with a pole of order $(k+2)$ at $p$, having a connected critical graph…

We provide a construction method for biharmonic submanifolds in cohomogeneity one manifolds. In particular, we give new examples of biharmonic submanifolds and study the normal index of these submanifolds. We use this strategy to construct…
