We introduce a family of variational functionals for spinor fields on a compact Riemann surface $M$ that can be used to find close-to-conformal immersions of $M$ into $\mathbb{R}^3$ in a prescribed regular homotopy class. Numerical…

We prove that curves of constant curvature satisfy the parametric $C^1$-dense relative $h$-principle in the space of immersed curves with nonvanishing curvature in Euclidean space $R^{n\geq 3}$. It follows that two knots of constant…

Suppose $\delta$ is a generic immersed closed curve in the boundary of a 3-manifold M and $\delta$ is null-homotopic in M. Then $\delta$ can be displaced by a height function in a collar of the boundary so that the resulting simple closed…

We establish area bounds for two-dimensional immersions in R^3 and R^n. Namely, for \mu-stable immersions in R^3 (R^n), for graphs in $\mathbb R^3$ which solve quasilinear equations in divergence form, and for graphs which are critical for…
