Liebmann's Theorem asserts that a compact, connected, convex surface with constant mean curvature (CMC) in the Euclidean space must be a totally umbilical sphere. In this article we extend Liebmann's result to hypersurfaces with boundary.…

Let K be a convex body in $R^d$. A random polytope is the convex hull $[x_1,...,x_n]$ of finitely many points chosen at random in K. $\Bbb E(K,n)$ is the expectation of the volume of a random polytope of n randomly chosen points. I.…
The aim of this paper is to give an upper bound for the intrinsic diameter of a surface with boundary immersed in a conformally flat three dimensional Riemannian manifold in terms of the integral of the mean curvature and of the length of…
In 1968, Simons introduced the concept of index for hypersurfaces immersed into the Euclidean sphere S^{n+1}. Intuitively, the index measures the number of independent directions in which a given hypersurface fails to minimize area. The…
This paper develops a technique for applying one-parameter prescribed mean curvature min-max theory in certain non-compact manifolds. We give two main applications. First, fix a dimension $3\le n+1 \le 7$ and consider a smooth function…
In this note, we observe that if $B$ is a ball in a Euclidean space with dimension $n$, $n\geq3$, then a stable CMC hypersurface $\Sigma$ with free boundary in $B$ satisfies \[ nA\leq L\leq nA\left( \frac{1+\sqrt{1+4(n+1)H^2}}{2} \right)\,,…
We study fully nonlinear geometric flows that deform strictly $k$-convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space with pointwise normal speed given by a concave function of the principal curvatures. Specifically, the speeds we consider are obtained…
Recently, Kothari et al.\ gave an algorithm for testing the surface area of an arbitrary set $A \subset [0, 1]^n$. Specifically, they gave a randomized algorithm such that if $A$'s surface area is less than $S$ then the algorithm will…
In this paper we study the spacelike-characteristic Cauchy problem for the Einstein vacuum equations. We prove that given initial data on a maximal compact spacelike hypersurface $\Sigma \simeq \overline{B(0,1)} \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ and…
We derive a formula for the spacetime volume of a small causal cone. We use this formula within the context of causal set theory to construct causal set expressions for certain geometric quantities relating to a spacetime with a spacelike…
We develop a global theory for complete hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ whose mean curvature is given as a prescribed function of its Gauss map. This theory extends the usual one of constant mean curvature hypersurfaces in…
We obtain a bound for the area of a capillary $H-$surface in a three-manifold with umbilic boundary and controlled sectional curvature. We then analyze the geometry when this area bound is realized, and obtain rigidity theorems. As a side…
We establish a new CMC (constant mean curvature) existence result for cosmological spacetimes, i.e., globally hyperbolic spacetimes with compact Cauchy surfaces satisfying the strong energy condition. If the spacetime contains an expanding…
Gromov conjectured that the total mean curvature of the boundary of a compact Riemannian manifold can be estimated from above by a constant depending only on the boundary metric and on a lower bound for the scalar curvature of the fill-in.…
In this paper we are concerned with the problem of finding hypersurfaces of constant curvature and prescribed boundary in the Euclidean space, using the theory of fully nonlinear elliptic equations. We prove that if the given data admits a…
An example of the volume and boundary face area of a curved polyhedron for the case of regular spherical and hyperbolic tetrahedron is discussed. An exact formula is explicitly derived as a function of the scalar curvature and the edge…
In this short note, we establish a quantitative description of the genericity of transversality of $C^1$-submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^n$: Let $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a $d$-dimensional $C^1$-embedded submanifold where $n \geq d+1$.…
We extend the notion of illumination bodies to Riemannian spaces of constant curvature and to projective Finsler geometries. We prove that the derivative of their volume defines a notion of surface area for convex bodies in these settings,…
