We construct embedded triply periodic zero mean curvature surfaces of mixed type in the Lorentz-Minkowski 3-space with the same topology as the Schwarz D surface in the Euclidean 3-space.

We continue our investigations into Toda's algorithm [14,3]; a Weierstrass-type representation of Gauss curvature $K=-1$ surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We show that $C^0$ input potentials correspond in an appealing way to a special new class…

In this paper, we define a new type of ruled surface called ruled surface by using the alternative frame of a base curve. Then, we study its differential geometric properties such as striction line, distribution parameter, fundamental…

Let $M$ be a K\"ahler-Einstein surface with positive scalar curvature. If the initial surface is sufficiently close to a holomorphic curve, we show that the mean curvature flow has a global solution and it converges to a holomorphic curve.

In this paper, we shall prove that space-like surfaces with bounded mean curvature functions in real analytic Lorentzian 3-manifolds can change their causality to time-like surfaces only if the mean curvature functions tend to zero.…

We discuss timelike and spacelike minimal surfaces in $AdS_n$ using a Pohlmeyer type reduction. The differential equations for the reduced system are derived in a parallel treatment of both type of surfaces, with emphasis on their…

Invariant minimal surfaces in the real special linear group of degree 2 with canonical Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics are studied. Constant mean curvature surfaces with vertically harmonic Gau{\ss} map are classified.

For entire spacelike stationary 2-dimensional graphs in Minkowski spaces, we establish Bernstein type theorems under specific boundedness assumptions either on the W-function or on the total (Gaussian) curvature. These conclusions imply the…

We obtain improved local well-posedness results for the Lorentzian timelike minimal surface equation. In dimension $d=3$, for a surface of arbitrary co-dimension, we show a gain of $1/3$ derivative regularity compared to a generic equation…

A numerical algorithm for mean curvature flow of closed mean convex surfaces with surgery is proposed. The method uses a finite element based mean curvature flow algorithm based on a coupled partial differential equation system which…

We derive intrinsic curvature and radius estimates for compact disks embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with nonzero constant mean curvature and apply these estimates to study the global geometry of complete surfaces embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with…

Using Green's theorem we reduce the variation of the total mean curvature of a smooth surface in the Euclidean 3-space to a line integral of a special vector field and obtain the following well-known theorem as an immediate consequence: the…

In this paper we prove that an embedded and simply connected constant mean curvature surface with curvature large at a point contains a multi-valued graph around that point on the scale of $|A|^2$, where $|A|^2$ is the norm squared of the…

We describe all pseudo-Riemannian metrics on closed surfaces whose geodesic flows admit nontrivial integrals quadratic in momenta. As an application, we solve the Beltrami problem on closed surfaces, prove the nonexistence of…

We obtain an explicit formula for comparing total curvature of level sets of functions on Riemannian manifolds, and develop some applications of this result to the isoperimetric problem in spaces of nonpositive curvature.

This paper concerns the global theory of properly embedded spacelike surfaces in three-dimensional Minkowski space in relation to their Gaussian curvature. We prove that every regular domain which is not a wedge is uniquely foliated by…

We study some geometrical aspects of two dimensional orientable surfaces arrising from the study of CP^N sigma models. To this aim we employ an identification of R^(N(N+2)) with the Lie algebra su(N+1) by means of which we construct a…

We study conformal metrics with prescribed Gaussian curvature on surfaces with conical singularities and geodesic boundary in supercritical regimes. Exploiting a variational argument, we derive a general existence result for surfaces with…

A mixed type surface is a connected regular surface in a Lorentzian 3-manifold with non-empty spacelike and timelike point sets. The induced metric of a mixed type surface is a signature-changing metric, and their lightlike points may be…

We investigate the geometric characteristics of constant gaussian curvature surfaces obtained from solutions of the $G(m,n)$ sigma model. Most of these solutions are related to the Veronese sequence. We show that we can distinguish surfaces…
