The aim of this paper is to extend some basic results about marginally outer trapped surfaces to the context of surfaces having general null expansion. Motivated in part by recent work of Chai-Wan, we introduce the notion of…

In this paper, we solve the asymptotic Plateau problem in hyperbolic space for constant $\sigma_{n-1}$ curvature, i.e. the existence of a complete hypersurface in $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ satisfying $\sigma_{n-1}(\kappa)=\sigma\in (0,n)$ with a…

We show several results comparing sharp eigenvalue bounds for the first Steklov eigenvalue on surfaces under change of the topology. Among others, we obtain strict monotonicity in the genus. Combined with results of the second named author…

We study the geometry of the first two eigenvalues of a magnetic Steklov problem on an annulus $\Sigma$ (a compact Riemannian surface with genus zero and two boundary components), the magnetic potential being the harmonic one-form having…

In this paper we prove that given a volume, among all domains with smooth boundary in rank-1 symmetric spaces of noncompact type, geodesic balls maximizes the first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue. We also prove a comparison result for the first…

We consider the critical points of Steklov eigenfunctions on a compact, smooth $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary $\partial M$. For generic metrics on $M$ we establish an identity which relates the sum of the indexes of a…

Let $(M,g)$ be a two-dimensional compact boundaryless Riemannian manifold with Laplacian, $\Delta_g$. If $e_\lambda$ are the associated eigenfunctions of $\sqrt{-\Delta_g}$ so that $-\Delta_g e_\lambda = \lambda^2 e_\lambda$, then it has…

We show that there is a constant $c>0$ such that a genus $g$ closed hyperbolic surface, sampled at random from the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{g}$ with respect to the Weil-Petersson probability measure, has Laplacian spectral gap at least…

If X is a geodesic metric space and $x_1,x_2,x_3\in X$, a {\it geodesic triangle} $T=\{x_1,x_2,x_3\}$ is the union of the three geodesics $[x_1x_2]$, $[x_2x_3]$ and $[x_3x_1]$ in $X$. The space $X$ is $\delta$-\emph{hyperbolic} $($in the…

Let $\Sigma$ be a Riemann surface of genus $g$ bordered by $n$ curves homeomorphic to the circle $\mathbb{S}^1$, and assume that $2g+2-n>0$. For such bordered Riemann surfaces, the authors have previously defined a Teichm\"uller space which…

We study the intrinsic geometry of area minimizing (and also of almost minimizing) hypersurfaces from a new point of view by relating this subject to quasiconformal geometry. For any such hypersurface we define and construct a so-called…

Surfaces of general type with positive second Segre number $s_2:=c_1^2-c_2>0$ are known by results of Bogomolov to be quasi-hyperbolic i.e. with finitely many rational and elliptic curves. These results were extended by McQuillan in his…

Consider a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. In this short note we prove that under certain positive curvature assumptions on the manifold and its boundary the Steklov eigenvalues of the manifold are controlled by the Laplace…
